Webley Eclipse

[Degsey 28]

Has anyone had dealings with a Webley Eclipse in .177 am taking an unused one in a p/x deal. I have heard they were a decent gun in their day

They we're indeed my friend. I dont know much detail about the innards, but they're of the old times them are. I do know that parts are kinda rare these days... but yours sounds like it wont need any...

You say unused, as in brand spank?

Sounds a right find that does. 

Bang some images up when you get it.

I have a webley omega I think it has the same trigger as the eclipse . my trigger has been a bit of a problem I did solve the problem by beating one trigger componante a little but a bit of dieseling one day brought back the trgger problem . I think the piston slammed back into the trigger mechanism smoothing the bumps I made with a hammer . To solve the problem for now I noticed the piston was a very loose fit and not fully engaging the trigger mechanism when cocking the gun so by buttoning the piston I have tightened  the piston in the cylinder all is fine for now . I feel this trigger is a little weak but the gun does shoot fine I have also shot an eclipse that shot fine , but dont diesel the gun and ask about the trigger . If you take the trigger out look at every thing closely it is a little tricky to replace .

One of the first rifles I had was a tracker in .177

Side lever and like you said the thumb lever on the left to open the breech.......i had some bloody rabbits with that rez!

It was a noisy bugger if I remember but properly accurate??

I had the carbine version way back in the 80`s and in .177 for a short spell.

              I shot some good bags with it but I found I had far more chance with it ready cocked on my forays as when you cocked it, it sounded like that clockwork wind up noise, scared many a chance away that noise.

             In the hides it was deadly accurate.

             A fine well made rifle for it`s era.

Iv got a webley hawk hear that iv just refurbished and sending it down to the kids at a gun club 

iv not had the chance to take it out yet but hope i do before i send it off ,

and if the kids get as much joy out of it as you lads have in the past with yours ill be a happy man

also a beeman this has more or less the same internals and trigger as the hawk .
