Webley & Scott 20 Bore Model 820.


Recommended Posts

As the title says "Webley & Scott 20 bore Model 820."
Well to cut a very long story short I was owed some money for doing some web design for a mate,
I stuck the site up there live and after I met up with my mate I know, he offered me this gun as payment ?
Well although it was never discussed it to be honest I kind of took it as payment for the work I have done.
Anyways....I thought a crappy used 20b ......well its better than nothing. And it was battered until I revamped it.
I have never felt the need or wanted to use a 20b until this happened.

So I took it down to my pals place after I got it and showed him.
He stood outside in his stockings and yelled loud , a pigeon flew over and bingo it was history.
First shot ! 28g..... ( Well that worked ....but he is a good shot mind you. )

I thought I just had a gun that was not worth a bottle of POP ( please excuse my language I normally swear at this stage)
So I brought it home.....Cleaned it "and I mean had to really clean it"..it was utter filth, Carbon like you have never seen.
Ordered a choke key as although he owned it from new he says a choke key was not there.....OK Right, I know.
I cleaned it, got a choke key, and the chokes I needed...easy via chambers site.
Had a shot at a few local pigeons ! Yes I hit them.....This little toy gun seems OK

In its defense it has no recoil or very very little. And is as accurate as hell.
He gave me some cartridges varying from 24g to 30g loads and now that I have give it a good service it cycles the lot.

For some strange reason I like the gun ! If I can go as far and say I love the little thing.
Maybe my ignorance ( and I am a old timer ) never let me own one ( 20b )
BUT Hey what a good thing,
Pictures to follow.
