Webley WG Replica
I have spent many a sleepless night searching for a proper Webley WG replica. I own a real Mk VI, but of course i can't carry that out and about when in costume, haha). I have found many Mk VI replicas, and only one WG replica by our own Rook. At this point does anyone know if there is a currently run of one in existence or a place to get one?

Re: Webley WG Replica
There are makers on Etsy that list them from time to time.

Re: Webley WG Replica
No worries. If someone here on the forum has or is going to purchase one, I would be curious to hear about the "aluminum infused resin" that he uses. It sounds like an awesome prop!

Re: Webley WG Replica
Tanaka and the Japanese plug fire cap gun makers have been used fine resin with about a third metal powder for a while now I believe. The metal to add weight to the replica and to allow polishing and other surface finishing. I don't know how this maker's resin works but I guess it is similar. The replica certainly has a great look.
If I wasn't in the UK, I'd be seriously tempted by one of those.
Wonder if anyone in the forum has bought one of these?

Re: Webley WG Replica
Hello,
As I have te same question now, I started digging and found some archeaological thread to raise.
Would anyone have idea about a close enough, not 3D printed, gun?
Also interested, because if I find a good reference, I may be able to make a mold and cast it from resin with metal powder and bring a decent finish, even maybe buy original grips with bird head shape and make the mods, then the mold.

Re: Webley WG Replica
There is an "official" Webley airsoft replica, the Webley MkVI CO2 (6 mm, or 4.5 mm versions). I have one and it is really nice, full metal, heavy, has all the functions of a real Webley. Even has some nice markings.parfaitelumiere wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 10:45 am Hello,

Re: Webley WG Replica
Yeah I saw it, some are good, however it's a different webley gun, right?
So for now it seems there is no replica of the WG gun.
I am curious to know if there would be any interest in a resin replica

Re: Webley WG Replica
I’ve seen some people use mk vi’s before and change those out. There was a guy doing a decent replica of the WG a few months back, but I’ve had issues with his customer service.

Re: Webley WG Replica
Yeah, it doesn't have the bird head's grip and the closing latch/sight is larger.
I think there are loads of guys interested in resin replicas. There are some available on Etsy. There were some even with metal powder resin if I remember correctly.

Re: Webley WG Replica
I would think a quality resin casting would get a lot of interest. The WG just hasn’t had anyone offering them consistently. Maybe that is an indication of a lack of demand.

Re: Webley WG Replica
that's the problem.
I have seen one in my country, but price is expensive, and if I try to make molds and casts, it will be quite en investment.
However, if nobody is on the WG market, it can be interesting.
I already mde some resin castings, using metal powder, the results can be quite good even of course not like a real piece of metal.
