No Webley buffs on here?
Could you guys give me some idea of the value of a Webley Vulcan please?
The only info i have so far is it's near mint condition, in .22 calibre, standard beech stock, and the serial number is.........029973.
What is the difference in specification to a MK1 model, am i correct in thinking there was a MK3 model? If so, how does the MK2 differ from it?
Thanks in advance guys.

With that SN it will probably be a Mk2 from 1982ish. Value around the £110 mark. I've got a few air rifles, but the one that feels "right" on aim is my old Vulcan.

Does it have the "Deluxe" walnut stock?
If so add 30 quid or so.

Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

old jud,they also did a mk 3 these fetch around the 150 mark,,a nice mk2 is worth 130 of anybodys money,,better trigger on mk3 with a serated trigger blade

As far as I know, the power of all 3 Mks was the same, and was intended to be as close to 12fp as possible. The Mk2 had a slightly restyled stock and a longer and thicker barrel than the Mk1. I don't know much about the Mk3, apart from the fact it looked ugly with the muzzle weight (in my opinion!). My valuation is maybe a bit low if the gun is really almost mint, but you see so many guns advertised that say "mint" apart from the bit of rust and the scratches on the woodwork.

The price for a minter remains low as just so many were sold. Even a Deluxe MKI or II struggle to sell for any premium £200 and they are rare and very nice rifles. A standard unmarked MKI £120 MKII £140 max.
A nice used MKI is £75 and MKII £100. Always were and still are a bargain; just shame about the triggers which are too heavy. Perfectly good guns though.
Check that the barrel is not loose in the breech jaws, i.e. it should not wobble from side to side. If it is loose there is not much that can be done without access to specialist equipment and know how. As a result the value will be severely impacted
The trigger can be usefully upgraded to a pseudo two stage jobbie with better feel - available from Chambers.
Happy Shooting!! Paul.
