Thanks for the feedback.
Good points LeFusil on the disc-strikers. I had never thought about them in those terms. I have disc-strikers on my modern Spanish double guns, so had assumed they were superior. But of course as with all handmade guns, unless you have spare parts made with the gun upfront you are out of commission anyways if a pin or spring breaks. When I custom ordered one of my Spanish shotguns, I tried to get a spare set of firing pins and springs made at the same time. But for whatever reason they didn’t want to do it, even though I was willing to pay for it. So now if a firing pin breaks on that gun, I’m screwed anyways.
Getting back to the Webley & Scott screw-grip bite, was it maybe considered a more finicky or complicated design, and so dropped from their 700 series models?
From my observations, there seems to be a lot more Webley & Scott 700 series models kicking around on the market than the 400 series models which were also built for a lot of years. Just wondering why.
