Webley Screw Grip Action
      01/06/06 01:30 AM

Gentlemen,

Please excuse the intrusion, but I have posted this question on the shotgun forum for a number of days without a reply. I have been monitoring the DR forum for some time now and have learned a great deal about British gunmaking. I feel therefore that you gentlemen can provide the answer to my question. I have owned the shotgun pictured at the following web sites for more than 30 years and have always wanted to know who the maker of the action was. Am I correct in thinking that it is a Webley & Brain patent Screw Grip and if so might the action have been manufactured by Webley and supplied to the gunmaker William Calder who then barrelled it himself or had it barrelled by some other person. There are no numbers on the forend loop and only a capital M stamped on the rib next to the loop. Likewise the action has no numbers and only has Calder's name on the sides. I thank you for your indulgence.

Regards,
kologha
