Mk VI webley.....

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Last year I found a new 455 webley RCBS bullet mold for $50 !!!!. So I mentioned to an old timer buddy of mine now I need to get back into a webley. And he said he had one he was willing to part with . I could not resist. It's a gorgeous 1926 issue Enfield Mk VI. I promptly sat a couple pounds of MkII 'boolitz' and acquired some starline brass as well as some fiocchi loaded ammo. The fiocchi fodder was  - meh . My reloads using trailboss...super !.

	PS , and yes , before I seat 265gn projectiles I do smear some bullet wax in the grooves , I'd have pictured that but it's messy .

	nice looking Enfield mkVi , i had one like it , a 1923 and a 1918 webley version , the holsters , belts and cartridge pouches are out there , try P&S militaria they are canadian but always treated me good , bought a number of items from them , unfortunately my accoutrements went with the sale of my revolvers , they are the top two on the left , also can see the correct holster and pouch there

	a closer shot of what your looking for - thebelt is hanging to the right of the revolvers , i have the suspenders and pouches for rifle ammo but they are full of ammo so not on display here , i still have the no 1 mk V revolver below the mk VIs , a webley no2 mk IV , and Albion/enfield no 2 mk !** , ads well as a webley mk VI 22cal trainer and a webley mk IV 22cal trainer , but the rest of these are gone now , similarly i still have the mk III rifle and all three trainers shown , but the rest are gone now along with the rest shown ,

	Just love the look and craftsmanship of those Enfield's - wheel guns and rifles all !. I had a one of those MkI webley's back in the 80's. Was a hoot to shoot until I ran out of 1937 dated lead practice cartridges and Dominion 1943 dated ball. I improvised and took grandpop's old 410 paper shotshe!!s and cut them ahead of the powder wad. I then taped a 44 cal roundball on it. Was actually a fairly solid hitter with that ersatz ammo on 5 gallon buckets 30 feet away. Those were the salad days.
