@LIP15 Since 1969 deadly gangster cops have pounded my front door and rear doors opened and entered my rear cellar door even broke fasteners forcing open windows even late at night always screaming for me to come out even these parroting puppet stooge niggers tremble from this "Jer-U.S.A.-lem" kosher constitutional rights.
The main issues I see with this revolver are the over complicated mechanism compared to say.. a Colt or Smith and Wesson Model of 1917. That and I read/heard somewhere that the Webley-Fosbery was prone to what we nowadays call "limp wristing".
Empty cases--not casings--shouldn't set anything on fire, but might wind up either getting pressed into the fabric and weakening it, or bouncing into something like the engine oiler--they used an external castor oil oiler for the cylinder heads.
Cartridges are in a case. Sausages are in casings.
empty casings would set the airplane on fire - diarrhea - of course this is an American review, nobody british ever made anything that was any good - anti british bias lol
The action is automatic. If held properly, the recoil of the weapon pushes the entire upper assembly back, cocking the hammer and turning the cylinder half way on its rearward motion, before a spring acts on it and pushes the assembly forward, completing the cylinder's turn.
Invented by Robert Adams, a double-action trigger performs two functions when pulling the trigger, first cocking the hammer then releasing it to discharge the firearm. When this term is applied to revolvers, the trigger also rotates the cylinder. Though this is technically a third action, it is correct to refer to the mechanism as double-action. <-- wiki
It is not a pure self-loading firearm, but a revolver that employs recoil to automatically cock and rotate the cylinder.
When you shoot a double action, if you want to shoot it in single action you have to cock the hammer every time. With this gun you only have to cock it once or shoot it in double action once and then the gun re cocks itself and rotates the cylinder every shot like a semi auto pistol.
Its actually an amazing good design that's not really been expanded on for some reason.
Well what the hell is "smae"? But really its that unique as it uses recoil to do the job for you. Try Firing a Anaconda that fast and your finger would be sore as a tomato.
Hi fellaws; Got have a little problem. I have an ENFIELD WEBLEY 32 S&W pistol. To unload the gun U have to break open the pistol then the bullets fall out automatically. On mine the bullets fall out but the extractor like item stays out. Shouldn't after extracting the empty bullets the extractor resets? Any help to gunsmithing tips would greatly appreciate. I like the pistol but i dont know anything about the ENFIELD WEBLEY & I dont want damage it trying to fix it.
well if your talking about the Webley MkIV and not a Enfield No2Mk1 ( which people confuse with the webley eventough the enfield is technically a copy in design ). you can expect anywhere from 275-500 for it . If its a webley civilian model or a police one with the safety and smal frame expect around the same price
the enfield No2 Mk1is about 200-275. However if its an early model witha spur still on the trigger it can fetch 400. The spur makes a big diffrence and its easier to fire the gun witht aht since you can do single action mode. Sadly they do not make a drop in replacement part for teh DA only models to be convereted back to DA/SA
I just read about the Webley-Fosbery in the remark made by Sam Spade in the 1941 movie "The Maltese Falcon" I really had no idea this gun existed..and I LIKE guns.
wow i never knew these existed. so normal webleys were adopted more widely than these? damn they should teach about british weapons in schools, but they dont. everybody is just supposed to forget the empire and any mentio of it is deemed racist. bs
Better when unloading empty cases to open revolver downwards so that they drop free. True for all Webleys.
The Fosbery is very accurate. Speedloaders, particularly the Prideaux, allow fast reloading. If not available, it is easy to pick rounds out of your pocket in twos and load 8 and 10 o'clock, then 4 and 6 and finally 12 and 2. That way, should you be unfortunate enough to need the revolver in anger while still loading... there are loaded chambers ready to come under the hammer.
I met this guy who is the curator at the NRA in Fairfax, VA. He said it is probably the most interesting gun during the WWI era. Personally, I would have rather had a S&W 1917 or Colt 1911 if I was fighting in WWI only because they would be more reliable in the muddy trenches than the W-F auto-revolver. These go for upwards of $10,000+ at auction.
Thankyou so much for posting this!!! -this is my favourite firearm. Oh yeah and definately VERY bumpfireable, I imagine!!! ;) but I'd never try it there a pretty penny. I've seen 3 mint examples come up for sale in Germany recently -will be interesting to see how much they fetch? xXx
