Hey all:
This is totally pie-in-the sky, but where would one look if one wanted to find a "shooter" Webley (don't care what version, MK I - MK VI and honestly don't really know the difference) in .455? And what would you expect to pay?
I know that there are .45ACP and .45Auto Rim conversions out there, but I also understand that you have to use specially loaded (low pressure) .45 if you want to do it safely. I think that an original in .455 sounds cooler, but I also understand that the ammo is fairly rare - Fiocchi seems to make it, but not regularly.
What's the lowdown on these?
