CONDITION: This gun is in nice condition with light wear, has clean/ shiny bores and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: Webley & Scott was one of the most prolific gunmakers in Britain. William Davis founded his business at the Weaman Street Birmingham in 1790, and the company thrived until production ceased in 1979. Webley & Scott started to manufacture the Model 700 around 1947 at a time when Britain was starting to recover after the Second World War, with the initial guns being chambered in 12 and 16 gauge bores. Because of dealer pressure, especially from the U.S., 20 and 28 bores where introduced in 1960. In the beginning the Webley 700 was designed and built to meet a growing market demand for a nice looking, sound, well-made shotgun that would need minimum level of servicing if it had any at all, even in the harshest of conditions. The gun is based on the famous Anson & Deeley box lock system with an automatic safety, and Southgate cartridge ejector system. Both systems are considered exceedingly rugged and reliable though Webley did add a number of their own modifications. The cocking levers have extensions that activate the ejector kicker after the appropriate barrel has been fired, and the cross pin which is integral with the action casting and therefore not removable. Nearly all the 700s manufactured were of the double trigger design, though there where some single trigger versions built. The 700 also follows the lines of a classic British box lock game gun with an oiled straight hand stock and detailed master craftsmanship. The Webley & Scott 700 is a true "Gentleman's Gun" that is as English as Earl Grey Tea, Fish & Chips, and Charles Dickens! FREE SHIPPING & NO PROCESSING FEES.
