gunsmoke251Question for Webley Patriot owners
I have 3, in all the calibers offered because I like the gun. I haven't had a problem with the .25, but the .177 & .22 have both broken the forearm screws, the .177 twice! Has anyone else experienced this problem? I took them to Bass Pro here in Spfld and had the broken screws drilled out and replaced with larger screws. I still really like these guns, amd am thinking I'll get another and have a .20 barrel put on it. Any problems / thoughts on this?

carpetman1gunsmoke--I have no experience with .25 cal, but if I needed bigger than .22, I'd be moving up to rimfire or centerfire. Now .20 cal, that is my favorite. I consider it the best of both between .17 and .22. By all means get a .20.

gunsmoke251carpetman1, thanks for your imput, but the question was if anyone had trouble with broken screws on Webley Patriots. I have a couple of .20's - 2 Beeman r9's, a silverstreak, a RWS mod 48, and a Beeman Kodiak, just wanted info on the aforementioned subject.
