I have a large action Webely I am currently restoring for a client currently but do not have the time to draw it up for you. Best of luck on your project.


Thanks skb. The westley Richards 1897 is another lovely design, I have an interest in webley as I own and shoot .22lr webley mk iv revolver regularly, to me they were always good value for money and very well made. I am open to any design though so if anyone has anything they'd be willing to share I would be interested. As for reverse engineering, if I got my hands on an original gibbs or h&h falling block action , 10 men wouldn't wrestle it back off me lol.
