Excellent presentation, nice one, JRH. Farmer I worked for in the early '70's had one in .25, and he reckoned he'd bought it for 17 quid. I never got to get a shot of it, he was in love with it, and his son said that the farmer had shot rats and pigeons with it. It was a thing of beauty. Top video, well done mate.

What a lovely airgun from our British engineering past.

the most beautiful rifle I've ever seen

that mechanism is a thing of pure satisfaction

Hello my friend, Thank you for providing us with such an in-depth review of this beautiful Webley and Scott air rifle. Your review was packed with information that you've gone out of your way to source and locate for us. Very, very kind. I think the workmanship, ideas, and design is just fantastic. I like how the barrel locks into place with the wrap around lever, the flip up sights, just beautiful, beautiful engineering. It just shows back then what they were capable of producing, as I wouldn't expect them to have access to the cnc machinery capabilities or anything of the like that we enjoy today. Holding something like that makes my fingers tingle as I imagine all the thought, time, and energy that has gone into making/producing something of this obvious, beautiful quality. I thank you again for caring enough to bring us your fantastic, information packed review that you've given your valuable time to produce. Thank you very much, my friend.

Fantastic vid , and a really nice rifle, made at a time Britain WAS great ..

Very interesting and well presented thanks

I just got one today. Rather good condition only missing the rear sight. I've seen new replacements available and can likely have one made also. I just paid £250 a few hours ago. Seemed fair. The seller wanted fifty to a hundred more but took my offer. It's a georgious work of art as far as I'm concerned. I got an early MKII model. I saw it last night and made my offer and it was accepted this morning. Couldn't wait to finish work this avo to collect.

Another well researched and presented video. Very interesting, thanks.

Great video on a firm favourite vintage airgun. Thanks!

Very clever system and well made air rifle I never heard of. Regards from CZ

Excellent evaluation and historical video on this model 😎👍🏻

Nice gun DIY

British engineering. Brilliant

Very well presented......👍

A very nice review. I actually own one (.177) that my late father prevented being scrapped by the army in the 60's.

I have one of these i got for a fiver in about 1998. The barrel has been braised onto the body. As i recall it has a dovetail that shoukd be wedged into place? The cocking lever has also been braised back on and it has zero blueing left . It shoots great with its original spring and piston. Quite fun to use.

OK, OUTSTANDING work, thank you! The accuracy demonstrated is partly the gun -- partly the 'you' that shows up that day. Bench shooting would take most of the human error out.

Very nice rifle... made forever. I didn´t know it . greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Greetings .......I have one which was gifted to me in the 80's, in a barely working condition with some missing parts.Its defunct now as repairs are not available here (India). Now I have just preserved it out of respect and chanced upon this lovely video which opened my eyes to the great history of this beautiful and unique rifle. Thanks !

that is an amazing air rifle

That was awsome.

Splendid 👌💯

During the initial removal of the barrel you could tell the quality of the rifle by the ring of the metal. Nice solid ring. Really like this rifle, would like to run across one

Great video. I'm missing the peep aperture sight disc from my MkII. Anywhere one can be sourced one or, where details of dimensions can be found (peep hole size, thread used etc..) that I could use to knock one up on the lathe. Thanks

Beautiful rifle

I remember seeing these in Air Gun world magazine back in the 1980s and even back then these guns were still in use for pest control

My grandfather had one of these air rifles leaning in a corner of his conservatory. When visiting my grand parents in the early fifties l looked at it longingly but was told never to touch ...Later, in the sixties l bought a Mk3 which was the air rifle to own back then, Like the Mk2 not a bit of plastic anywhere...

I would love to buy it but I don't know if it can be shipped to my country

Is there an available of that model as of today..?

I saw your video and love this air gun! How much is it, please?

I Hi, JRH. I have owned my 0.22 Webley Mark 2 Service Air Rifle for over 50 years, and I learnt more in 5 minutes from watching your video than I ever knew previously!! Well done, - this is a very clear and succinct summary of the rifle and all its features. Can I ask if it is possible to obtain a photocopy (for personal study) of that particular section in Thrale's book "Webley Air Rifles" . I am happy to pay for this and I live in Perth, Western Australia.

Sama dg yg saya miliki. Webley Mark 2

Such a cool design!

hi have a mark 2 3 ser with no blueing on it were all the rifles blued

why do you not do the accuray testing from a benchrest ?

think internals need cleaning and bit of light oil

Amazing I love it 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful gun! From a glorious past. Webley are really not producing any more guns. They are all made in Turkey by Zoraki, could be worse perhaps but it´s a fact. Webley is just a brand name nowadays.

👍

I thought that they also made good quality shotguns.

Mk2 it like Enfield delish sniper rifle

That barrel does not match the action one bit ,points to note that font style is after 1960 that the serial number is stamled in a cradle,was also,usedmfor,themstamls somthey would all be in a line

Prise kya hai mobail numbar batao

I've got one anywon want to by it good condition

Barrel of laughs aint he?

6ftlbs yet the Austrians in the 17th century were making air rifles @ 70ftlbs .Terrible

Webley and Scott were an English arms company….. not British!

Happy Insurrection Weekend...

UK gun laws are sad

Please please lose the intro, its too bloody loud and obnoxious!

Nice historical air rifle !! I do love airguns and please be good friends with me. From t2bkk ch in Bangkok Thailand

This "pcp design" is very unique for a break barrel. Not to mention the barrel can be easily changed. Truly underrated. Only downside is the low fps.
