    Proof testing

    I wouldn't have bought it if it had been butchered. .45ACP in a webley is definitely a no-go. I have some genuine amo for it, but I wonder for example if the chambers are properly in line with the barrel, or if this century-old steel won't fail, or whatever ??? Truly, it's about the whatever...

    .455 the "Manstopper!"

    Hello, I recently came across a 1915 .455 Webley Mk VI. The manstopper is 'unbutchered' and in perfect condition under general inspection. As I'm a shooter rather than a collector, I'll only buy it if I can safely use it. I mean safely for me and for that old gun that deserves respect. I read...
