Webley (International) Ltd (Webley) of Willenhall, West Midlands, UK, the iconic British Shooting company established in 1790, announced today the introduction at the CLA Gamefair, Belvoir Castle, Grantham, Leicestershire (24th-26th July 2009) of a new line-up of full power spring powered air rifles under their well respected AGS brand.

“For some time now our customers have been requesting a UK full-power spring powered air rifle that would meet the budgets of consumers who have an occasional pest or vermin control problem; those that wanted an inexpensive gun for occasional hunting and those that simply wished to plink in their gardens said Mike Hurney, CEO of Webley, “With the introduction of the AGS Value Max concept of Full Power Low Price and with an impressive array of features, including fibre optic open sights, precision dovetails for the fitting of telescopic sights, a sculptured, ventilated muzzle break, manual safety catch, anti-bear-trap feature and a ventilated recoil pad (synthetic stocked models) we have met that need he added.

When developing the range I visited a number of factories to establish those with the right level of investment in high-tech CNC machine facilities and a positive attitude to product development and quality control to ensure that we could deliver a high quality product, in large volumes, at a very competitive price. I am confident that we have the right partner and I will be working very closely with the factory to ensure that we continue to feed back customer and consumer response to refine and enhance the range going forward stated Paul Garrity, Webleys Senior Technical Manager.

The range at the time of launch comprises three break-barrel models all available in .22 and.177 calibres the AGS SPR 10 W (Wooden stock), AGS SPR 10 C (‘Mossy Oak’ Camouflage stock) and the AGS SPR 10 CF (Mossy Oak Carbon Fibre stock).
