Re: Webley & Scott Screw Action???

Many years ago I had access to be able to view ALL the remaining, existing, Webley registers. Not only the production of the .455 Mk VI, the Fosbery, the .32s, etc., etc., but also the "day books". It was quite interesting to note that many, many William Evens guns were supplied by Webley.

What I vividly remember were the number of Evans' guns noted in the registers as "Third quality...Engraved and finished as First"!

Also against one Birmingham maker, no longer extant, "All guns cash only...no further credit"!

It was also interesting to note that the experimental Farqhaur-Hill and another rifle "trialled" by the British Army (which I can't recall the name of) were made by Webley, too.
