Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

Re: Webley Gem
That's a cool looking vintage pistol - love the grip - thanks for sharing. Still has the lanyard ring too. 

Re: Webley Gem
I know nothing about these, so that said, stupid question time. What is the thing under and to the right of the diamond on the grip? Is it a defect or something that is supposed to be there?
I'm looking at this on my phone so I can't see it very well, even when I try to zoom in.

Re: Webley Gem
VERY, VERY NICE. I would suspect the mark on the grip is damage as I've not seen any Webley grips with that mark before. Noe the important question, how does it shoot?

Re: Webley Gem
Appears to be a 6. A racking number or some other sort of id'ing mark. Doesn't appear to be damage, too intentional looking.ffuries wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2017 10:42 pmI know nothing about these, so that said, stupid question time.

Re: Webley Gem
May I be very nosy and ask how much they charge for a box... I am not a reloader and it would be nice to have a place to get such ammo if the need arises..lewwallace wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2017 2:33 pmIndy 1919a4, Mid. and Enfield Shooter, I haven't had the opportunity to shoot yet but I do have custom ammo using 44spl cases and soft lead/hollow base, bullets that I feed my other 442s.

Re: Webley Gem
Initial 50 rnd box, cheaper as you have them reload the brass, $105. You gotta want to shoot badly! Never seen it any where else![indy1919a4 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 12:02 amMay I be very nosy and ask how much they charge for a box...
