You missed an S there I think...
This link will work: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=51383

:wink:

I think you can modify them nicely if the grips are detachable.
Nice find!

Hi,

This one is a six shooter, also fires blanks and it's fine finished (not junky foundry). It's very similar to the Smith&Wesson. Made by Alfa Proj. in Czech Republic. Maybe an alternative... :wink:

Blank Gu response

Post by Canada Jones »

A friend of mine had a blank gun that looked very similar to the one the one on http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=51383. The gun is actually a copy of the Colt Python .357 and if you look closely you will see venting on the top of the barrel. I think the one pictured above is a closer match. Are both of the guns pictured blank guns and where did you buy them?
thanks

No, only the lower one is blank firing. I bought it on a Gun Store; But can be found online at the Alfa Proj. website.

Marushan of Japan actually makes a blank firing Webley MKI. I saw one on Ebay last month, and it's the closest I've seen. Grips were different, but it was still VERY close.
I don't know if Marushan actually has a website to find them though.....
Any thoughts???

Here is a place that sells several good looking airsoft S&W and Colts. Click on the pistols link, go to the bottom of the page, and check out pages 5 and 6.

Uuh, Oh. I fell in love with this gun. I know, it's plastic, but the law is really strong with real firing guns here... so, I just bought that Enfield MarkI!! :D .

Image
The gun on the auction is the same model of these two. Is the model which replaced the Webley MarkVI in the most cases. :wink:

Same here...

I fell in love with this one: Image

I already have a plastic gun, but none as good looking as this one. If I'll ever own a gun I know it'll be a plastic one due to the restrict laws anyway.
I'll see how the relationship develops and if I have to order it. :lol:

By the way, what's the weight of an actual Indy S&W?

The weight unloaded is about 36-40oz. RonC may know more.

I'm truely sorry Auntsugar! I bought that enfield you posted to the forum, I waited a few days before placing a bid. The seller who has sent me the Gun has a shop in Japan which usually have these type of replicas. You should contact him:

This is the web site (altough now he is updating the items):
http://www.3rdhomes.com

And this is the mail info address:
info@3rdhomes.com

Marushin makes replicas of a lot of vintage two World Wars guns, maybe they have the Webley MarkVI itself.

I hope this helps.
