Having just bought a Webley Raider 10 (in .22), I found your review very useful - thanks!
You said you adjusted the trigger; I don't have a spanner small enough for the tiny locknut. How did you get round this?
As a matter of interest, is yours a .22 or .177?
Thanks,
Steve Jones
Hi Steve,
I've only just looked at this again today to see your post.
I seem to recall that I had a small adjustable spanner which I used on this.
However, I found that I did not have an allen key the right size to adjust the screw itself, but I found that having loosened the nut, the screw turned quite easily using a smaller allen key held at an angle.
Obviously I proceeded very cautiously with this and would not have done so had there been any stiffness or difficulty.
Mine is a .22. I'm still very pleased with it. Even though I've seen them advertised for £100 less than I paid, by JSR !
And I got a good deal at the time.
Hope you enjoy yours.
hello mate just got my r 10 today first inprestions is looks cool can you tell me did the silencer adapter come with the gun or did you get from newavon arms thanks daryl
Daryl, I got it from Newavon as an accessory when I bought the gun. It's not included with the gun. Enjoy !
Thanks for the info re. trigger adjustment. Useful warning, and knowing my capacity for disasters with things technical, I shall leave well alone for now!

My Raider 10 has gone back to Webley (via my gundealer) as the power seems to have dropped to about 6 ft lbs
The dealer told me that there is a seal which is prone to fail. I have never tinkered with a PCP - the thought of making a mistake with all that pressure puts me off. Even if I emptied it, I might not put it back together properly.
I'm very glad I bought it from my local gun shop.
I don't know how long it will take to get it back.
every gun i have ever sent to AGS for a service has been sent back within a week,always had very good service from them.
Thank you - that's reassuring.
nice review i was sad to sell mine and if i had the cash it's still in my local gun shop and i would have it back tomorrow mine was .177 and the last to leave the now defunct webley factory, I modded mine by cutting down the shroud and having it re threaded, I then added the brilliant hw100 silencer which made it totally silent, and the same length as with the original shroud
imo it is one of the best air rifles i have ever used and did everything i wanted it to do.
...... Adapt....To......Survive.....
That's very sad !
I was thinking of parting with mine in favour of an FAC rated air rifle, but I think I will keep it, and save up for the FAC gun. I'd like to try a better moderator on it than the RWS Manders which it sports at the moment. A SAK quietened it down beautifully, for example.
I can recommend the Weihrauch silencer. Did a pretty good job on mine. But no amount of silencer will get rid of that farting (pfffrt) noise from the action though. But there is a way to de-twang (or de-pfffrt ) it I believe. Or at least it has been mentioned on here at some time.
Got my raider 10 a few week ago!! Absolutely cracking rifle but from reading your review i think i will go about adjusting my trigger!!
EDGAR MOD .75 .22 ...no scope!
SMK SYNTARG .177 (sons rifle)... nikko 4x40
RAIDER 10 .177... Richter 3-9x50 ir BSA METEOR... 3-9x50 ir
Ok - time to give some more love to the Webley Raider 10. It has been to the Airgun Doctor for a service about five years ago.
I am not using it very much at all but it is not holding a charge all that well.
I would like to replace the seals myself and fit a de-twanger. Any hints ? Any ideas where I might find a de-twanger please ?
I have seen that a seal kit is available from GMAC Custom parts..
