just wondering if anyone has had any dealings with westernstageprops.com they are offering a rubber Webley revolver for $69.95. How are they for accuracy and value. Any thoughts ? I have attached a pic for your attention,
Regards,
Murphy.

WSP are our of our known and recommended vendors, unfortunately it may not be possible to legally import even this rubber gun into the UK. Changes to the law are imminant which may make it very difficult to own *even* a rubber gun
.
In the meantime does anyone know of a webley replica dealer in the UK?

I believe it's been said somewhere that it is not the correct webley model, though I could be wrong.

Artsee1's replica on E-bay (search: Indiana Jones Gun) is far more realistic in terms of its appearance though it's more expensive. WSP is a VERY reputable dealer and is very professional with quick shipping.

They're in Vegas so it's even better for me.
Gonna hafta get a tour of their wharehouse someday before they up and move on me. Not too far from where I currently work either.

It's not at all what I had imagined. I went two years ago and I had called to get directions and they seemed really surprised when we showed up (they could tell I was an Indy fan the moment I walked in
). They had some good stuff and I had my hands on their Indy whip and came close to buying it my then I changed my mind and got the gunbelt (which I'm not really happy with due to inaccurate buckle and keeper and I should have gotten a removable whip holder), holster, and the rubber S & W. I sold the S&W to someone here (feel free to comment). Their products seem ok. We had bought my brother a replica Peacemaker revolver but we had to send it back because the barrel was bent. My advice, save up for an Artsee. BTW, did anyone ever find a replica Webley that has moving parts, like an Airsoft or something?

Yes, the WSP webley is a Mk IV - Indy's was the larger Mk VI.
I guess the reason for them choosing the smaller Mk IV is that it fits in their Raiders' holster.
I bought a WSP Raiders' holster and a rubber Webley Mk IV from a member here on COW;

The holster is nice - but the Webley will be replaced by an Artsee1 S&W as soon as possible.

Does anyone have any knowledge of a UK based Webley replica supplier - these shipping laws are causing some problems......

I've been TO the wharehouse just so I knew exactly where it was at. Who exactly runs it over there and who would I speak to about getting a quick tour? The list alone of replica rifles and pistols would be reason alone for me to want to check it out. The whips are why I would really want to go, though. I was thinking about going there to pick up the whip holder as it's one of the last pieces I need to complete my gear.

Is the adventure supply S&W an accurate reproduction?

Looks pretty good, as far as I can tell.

IIRC the Adventure Supply (Lee Keppler) revolver is the same one as the one sold by WSP.

I can vouch for WSP -- this is Mark Allen's outfit, I believe, who is also a maker of Indy whips (one of the two best-known and regarded whipmakers, I believe).
I've personally bought a whip holder from them and they were entirely reliable.
