    Webley Service copy

    I sometimes read people on here saying they wished a modern Webley Service copy could be made... well this Argentine company did it, presumably to a standard that made sense economically at the time (1960s? '70s?).

    Just shows, be careful what you wish for.

    Is that (slight retching feeling in my throat) a PLASTIC STOCK?

    All: DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK IF OF A SENSITIVE DISPOSITION.

    The swear filter can be a hindrance sometimes.

    My wife, who has never shot anything, ever, described it as an action man gun.

    ....kin’el.
    All that’s missing is a ten shot magazine and the word, ‘tactical’, laser etched onto the action :
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    A good effort, but a plastic stock and what looks also to be a plastic trigger certainly lets it down; I wonder if spare barrels were ever available.

    Awful looking copy and where's the peepsight?

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    I think I'm going to puke..... runs off to dig mine out to settle my stomach and return senses to normality.

    wow... that looks like it was built to a budget but still, not an bad concept... just a shame it was done at the nerf factory
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    There is nothing about it that makes me wish I owned one.

    I think the title of this thread should be "WEBLEY SERVICE UPGRADE"

    Would love to ad it to my collection though as this is a super rare one and I have (allmost) enough normal Service models.
