WEBLEY .25 threaded barrel

Post by veloce »

Hello, everyone:
I have a few questions about this Webley .25 semi-auto, that appears to be threaded for a silencer?
Does this look like an original SOE type gun?
What type of silencer is this attachment for? Maxim?
How uncommon are these and how collectible?
Also, can someone tell me how to attach the picture to this thread?
Thank you!

Ran across a few in 1960's.

For .25 Maxim had a coupler to their suppressor.

Good information:

For a large mitt it was as hand-web painful to shoot as the FN Browning .25.

Looking forward to your posting picture.

Best.

This particular gun appears to have some sort of adaptor/coupler slipped over the front of the barrel that extends out of the slide. I am not sure how it was done - probably pressed in? It is now a part of the barrel.
It has interrupted threads, very similar to the ones shown in the picture of the maxim silencer that you provided.
How do I post a picture from my computer on the forum ?
Thanks!

You need to join a photo hosting site. I use Tinypic.com

After you upload the pictures you need to get the URL of the photo and then you will block [] in the letters img and /img at the front and back. img at the front and /img at the rear.
If you already have the pictures online or are taking them from the internet then just right mouse click and choose properties and copy that link or URL.
