    P.S.
    Anyone seen to be using the modern 'Weaver' stance with this revolver will be flogged at dawn......you have been warned.

    Or on your sword hilt Though I suppose they wouldn't be using swords in the trenches, only in the cavalry.

    Around 50 degrees in old money Pete.
    Yes correct Officer and Gentleman stance.

    I bought a set of DW shells but I thought the heads were too soft to be gripped in the chuck and remain central. I was also unhappy about wether my metal cutting tools would cut the soft plastic cleanly. In the end I turned some white plastic bar and made some pellet heads to push into the cases. It is a bit of a job to push the pellets skirt first into the heads but they work quite well.

    This pistol is perfect for rapid fire as the discipline was invented after an English officer walked into a French farm house and surprised 5 Germans, who he managed to shoot before they could get him. He obviously would have had a webley mk 6

    No need to grip the soft bullet head in the chuck. What I did was to slide the bullet head along a length of steel rod ( approx 3.5mm diam, from memory), so that it is a tight fit on the rod, then grip the rod in the jaws of the chuck.
    As long as you use a very sharp lathe tool it will cut no problem.

    If you drill the whole thing right through, you can load from the rear, which is far easier.

    Great Idea I hadn't thought of doing that, although 3.5mm might be a bit small for my chuck to grip. still I can always turn a larger rod down to 3.5mm.

    Photos?

    Anyone found time (in between all the shooting) to take some photos showing off the pistol, the finish, position of the safety, open barrel/cylinder, hammer pin etc?

    Does the paint come off the mazak after a bit of handling, like those Dinky racing cars we used to flip across the playground when we were kids?

    As far as photos go plenty of videos on You Tube.

    The paint will/ does rub off with use, just as it did on the real steel ones with the wartime finish, ( which Webley have replicated very closely on the replica).

    I am loving mine.....it must have one of the smoothest d/a triggers out of the box.
