Webley Mk VI Speed Loader

[bristol boy]

I'm trying to locate an original Prideaux Quick Loader for my Webley Mk VI. Anyone have any pointers?

Right up there with hen's teeth and rocking horse droppings for rarity..... be prepared to pay considerably more for one than your revolver is worth!

* I love the rocking horse droppings line.

Very interesting piece but as Grant has stated, good luck.

I know, but those who don't look don't find, if you don't buy a ticket, you don't win the lottery, if you don't ask a question you don't get an answer.

I found one in England many many years ago. Got no problem selling mine I will even give you a screaming deal at $1900.00 no that's not a typo as I know where there is one forsale in the states at 2325.00 good luck

Or you could just dremel some some standard HKS 25-5 45LC speedloaders to fit for a few dollars, Fiocchi 455 brass works the best with this setup, Hornady and Dominion brass is a tich too wide.

Oh, to have $1900 to fritter away on something that would only sit in the gun safe. I know they are not cheap wherever you find them, but sometimes you get lucky. Thank you for the offer though, I am not dissing you. If you run out of storage space, I'll keep it safe for you.......

Puzzle out these patent drawings, and make your own?

Good invention of its time. I hope to one day come across one.

 

[bristol boy]

Great schematics, thanks. I look at it to finding one by luck. I recently bought a mixed military lot at an auction for $20, amongst many other high dollar items were 2 U.S,. Airborne 1st Aid Kits which netted me almost $2000 for the 2, so you never know............

Apu, also did several HK speed loaders for my Webleys

Now there is also Major Watson's speedloader made out of brass. Works like the HK ones where a twist of the back end releases the cartridges and it is contemporary with the Prideux

Thanks.......
