I'm pretty sure they are made in Turkey!

You are right Deker, the new Webley's are turkish made,I had a magazine with an article about them. It told you who it was,but I can't find it right now. Pretty sure it is NOT Yildiz though. It is a good range of guns,up to about £2500 for the best. My choice would be a 910 sporter, about £700 and with a lifetime guarantee. Shouldn't think you could go far wrong with any of them really.

Yes that are Turkish. Pretty sure its Hatsan that make them, they also make the Escort range of SA; or a firm associated with them.

I was invited to the range launch at a clay ground in Shrops, it was the worst trade event I've been to, nobody there andthe guns were 110% CR*P. Esp when compaired to similar priced guns from Lincoln, Conquest, Escort, Yilditz etc.

 

I know towards the end of last year AGS who own (and I think now have changed their name) the Webley brand (don't mistake them with W&S of old) had a big volume problem. Not that they couldn't fullfill orders and keep up demand, quite quite the oposite!!

 

That said, the guns I had a play with at this years Midland looked a vast improvement from those at the open day. It will be worth seeing how their performance compares as time goes; I do however fear they may be slightly overpriced and that their market share would increase dispraportionatly in the range was 10-15% cheaper.
