$975 shipped anywhere. Antique. No pal. 442. Yes I've fired it, with proof in Single Action. As shown main spring is WELD repaired. ** Handspring is worn but not broken, but I have spring stock included for you to copy the original and make it fatter in both directions so it doesn't slip off the lifter after indexing once, I got it to index 3x before slipping off the lifter but it was short lived.
Hand and Handspring & new spring stock are in a baggie seperately.
Comes with RCMP antique paperwork.
WJ Hill was a genuine Webley distributor not a Belgium knockoff artist. Black powder only given its current condition.
These sell $2000-5000. Obviously it's not mint condition but it Fires.
Won't find a shootable Genuine Webley for less anywhere else in Canada!
No offers thanks. Took about 20 hrs to get it unseized. It was completely locked up and full of sand and mud. Had zero function. Was told it'll never shoot. Well I shot it. Haha. It was a barn/ river/ attic found gun.
Yes it is British marked. WJ HILL on the top barrel flat.
Comes with damaged original cylinder rod female shank. Comes with reproduction cyl rod that accepts the ejector rod and pulls out to knock the cartridges out, instead of rotating.
Single action. Holds cocked and fires.
Double action: had it working for a while as in it'll cock and fire. Doesn't index reliably as the handspring is worn, not broken, good tension. Lifter might be buggered no expert can't tell, as handspring slips off it and goes under or between it after indexing perfectly once.
Comes apart. Thick cylinder and barrel walls. Cylinder throat could use reamed or polished with 44 Russian or SPL reamer. From photos chambers are fair- good considering, where the brass seats especially.
Yes the grip is not an original. It's a near fit. Comfortable. Could probably use sawdust or wood filler to perfect it. Could checker it to make it more originality correct.
1000% final sale. No return. Guaranteed it'll shoot, could be 5x or 500 before the spring grenades.
Not ready for live rounds. Accepts 44 Russian but headspace is way to tight, rim has to be thinner considerably to index and fire.
Technically you could shoot a live round but the hand helps steady the cylinder ( Counter clockwise) , not just the stop on the back of the trigger ( clockwise).
