Webley-Fosbery conservation and function; Anvil 084

Tear down and function demonstration on a gun you don't typically see in the buff.....the Webley/Fosbery .455 Auto Revolver. It is a recoil operated, semi-automatic 6 round revolver, just like the Mateba 6 Unica. It is dramatically LESS COMPLICATED, however. For the record, it is a very pleasant unit to shoot. I would duty carry it, except they are so darn rare.....$$

Sam Spade's partner Miles Archer, was shot with a Webley/Fosbery .455 Automatic Revolver in The Maltese Falcon. Thank you all for showing us how this factenating handgun works.

People make jokes about German/Russian Space Magic guns like the HK G11 or the AN-94 but this is Edwardian Era English Steam Punk Magic at its finest.

I have been collecting books for about 35 years. I got everything from an MP five to a colt walker. Love it what you do is amazing.

Imagine inventing this, wow.....

[@hoodoo2001]

Had one many years ago. Fires six shots QUICKLY.

It make a double action look like a paper clip .🤣

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

Someone just mixed up the screw from the safety with one of the two side plate screws

[@kirkethridge2500]

guess it would be good for a one armed man with frozen thumb? quite ingenious design though quite complicated. how much time was involved developing this revolver? (was it a team effort or 1 man)

[@mickvonbornemann3824]

One thing I must ask, why take the whole thing apart to replace a outer plate screw?

O.K. Great Video. I wonder about this gun 15 yrs before the semi auto 1911.

[@timelliott6036]

I think you should ask Othias for a patented plastic pokey hand pointer

[@lavida57]

That is really a complicated machine. Very cool

[@Baltimoreed]

Thank you, thank you, absolutely the best video but you didn’t address the revolver’s ability to go full auto. Mine did [for 3 rds- all that was in it]. I cleaned the sticky gunk out of it, reoiled it and now it’s ok. No way would I tear mine down that far. An amazing firearm.

[@jtjjbannie]

It takes a master mechanical engineer to even think of a contraption like that.

No matter how cool this firearm is it'll never fail to bring up the image of Sean Connery in red hooker boots that is burned into the hellscape of my mind.
