    "I would buy a modern Webley"...

    I've heard that before, hell, I've probably said it before. How about a 7-Shot, .357 Magnum, Modern "Webley"? How about we get some British chaps to build it, too? Call it the Anderson Wheeler MK VII, perhaps? https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/a-n...hot-show-2016/

    Now, I know what you want to know. How much does it cost?

    Base Models start at $10,000 (US) they're planning to make about 50 of them a year.

    Frankly, I'm envious. You see the way Anderson Wheeler is making guns is precisely how I would make guns. If I were going to build guns, I'd do runs of updated historically significant models in low volume with insane execution, like this. Essentially bespoke pattern guns. I need to get my investments shored up properly and raise some capital and just buy Anderson Wheeler (ha, I wish!).

    The Indians make one:

    It has an attractive box. Wonder if they know that enthusiasts would buy them in the USA?

    I would like a cartridge Lemat on a Webley top break. Imagine the joy of a full moon clip with 9 .44 and a 20-28 guage buckshot in the center.

    Also, Ross Seyfried did an article on a Bland Webley Pryse that shot .612'' 440 gr bullets at something like 600-800 fps. About the size of a 4'' S&W 29.

    I read that Taurus could not get a "sporting purposes" decision for a 28 ga Super Judge.
    Doubt they would be accommodating for a breechloading LeMat "grapeshot" barrel.

    H. Bowen built a .577 Ruger and kept it because he could not get it delisted as a Destructive Device.

    I talked with Hamilton about that at the time, trying to figure how many people would be in the market for one.

    Neat revolver, but I think I'd be more likely to part with $ for the Indian version.

    Only about two grand apiece for a .32.
