Beautiful Webley & Scott 1012 O/U 12 Gauge Shotgun - Excellent Condition

Description:
Beautiful Webley & Scott 1012 O/U 12 Gauge Shotgun - Excellent Condition.  Outstanding case colors.  Excellent high-grade wood.  Classic English styling.

Many guns these days are light and tinny; this W&S has real depth and a solid feel to it, yet still retains a good balance and an overall fit and finish that looks great.
It has a lightly scrolled, beautifully case-hardened receiver.  The furniture is richly oiled and in excellent condition.

Stock
Walnut is grade 2+; so, better than most guns in this price range, and has a medium colour figuring with an oiled finish, with generous proportions, with a long length of pull.  The butt stock has a small amount of cast to align the eye down the rib perfectly, and the comb is quite straight.

To release the barrels, you have the typical lever release catch that securely clamps in place, but is also easy to unlatch.
The walnut is good and dense, hence very strong and feels so; it gives a very good heft to the W&S without being unbalanced, and it soaks up recoil very well, see the field test.

Barrels
Typical monobloc design and lock up with large rear bite and barrels swivelling on two captive pins in the action wall. The ejectors are well timed and strong with some nice jewelling to the monobloc sides, and the fit of the lugs into the action recesses is good and tight. It feels very strong and well-finished.
Overall, the finish is great, with a very deep blue blacking finish, carrying on the Webley tradition. 

You have a 10mm rib with a serrated finish to eliminate reflections and a single bead for sighting. There are shallow vents below and joining the barrels, eight and seven, respectively; this is the Sporter model. The Game version has a solid rib.

Barrels are stamped Made in Italy and chrome-lined for longevity and chambered for 2 3/4-inch cartridges.

Action
As stated, it’s a monobloc system and is quite large and made from steel. It is well machined with very few tooling marks. The action being made from a single block of chrome moly steel, has a bright coin finish that suits the Webley and is accented by stylish scroll machine-cut engraving. This is actually nicely done and quite deeply cut, so it looks so much better than some of the shallow, almost stamped engraving you can see these days; nice one, W&S!

The top lever to open the action is easy and has a lot of bite to it, sitting far right for plenty of wear in it. The barrels lock into the action via a full-width bolt at the back and bottom of the action face that locks directly into the ‘lump’ below the bottom barrel, standard monobloc style. The barrels also hinge on stub pins inset into the front of the action sides.

The hammers are mechanical, not inertia; so, each pull drops a firing pin on a cartridge and does not rely on the first shot to set the second barrel’s hammer. You also have a non-auto safety; again, my preference is with the traditional left position for the top barrel and right for the bottom barrel. When you open the action, the barrels need to be pushed down, as the new ejectors are very strong and eject the cases with gusto!

Trigger-wise, it’s a large, smooth-surfaced trigger blade with a medium-weight pull and a generous trigger guard.
Overall, an extremely well-made gun.
