If I read the numbers correctly, it is a 2007 July version. But it has some small scratches, so I have to sand it down and polish it back to mint condition. The walnut looks promising.
Finally I got the Webley Tomahawk.

Great rifle, factory barrel selective. .22 Can be tuned well to do 18 to 20 ft lbs with the right work.. Any more it’s a kicking mule as it’s a light weight rifle.. I'm always looking for them ..

Wow, where is the gun? All I see is the stock...
Sorry, I know you are working on it, but posting pics of how it was when you got it (full gun) and THEN posting pics of the stock work might have aroused more interest. Well, at least for me. (grin)
Happy for you in any case... (smile)

I asked about a pic of the numbers because it may well be one of the crossover guns from Webley. Webley & Scott went into receivership in 2005. When the dust settled, a new company called Highland Outdoors was the new owner and got all the rights, parts, machines, everything in the sale. Not long after, they made their deal with Hatsan to build guns for them to keep the Webley name going and sent everything to Hatsan.
Your gun could be one of the last ones made from true Webley parts, a mix of Webley/Hatsan parts or one of the full out copies Hatsan made and I own 4 of and also modeled their Hatsan Model 95 from.

Don't "sand it down". Use stripper and then go over it with 220. Wire brush the checkers. Chased them out very carefully with a curved needle file. I stained one of mine before finish coats. Don't sand too smooth before stain. That's wrong. Use Minwax Antique oil. See some videos. Webley walnut can be beautiful. I wouldn't "plastic coat" it with tru oil. First picture is how I got it. Top rifle (a .25 cal 23 ft lb) is stained with Minwax red oak. Washed it down with mineral spirits then because it was a little too dark. Bottom pic is my other Tommy .22. Good luck!

Thanks guys for the many replies and excellent suggestions.
Here’s some update’s, and 4 layers Junkers oil. Often use that for my stocks.

Thank you. Your gun is looking great. I prefer to use a finish I can repair if necessary. Although I very rarely mark any of my guns, I'm exceptionaly good with them from habit, I was just always that way. People think I never shot them. HA! I carried them afield. Some over many years. The .25 feels silky in your hands and looks really cool up close. Pictures don't capture it. Enough finish to fill most of the pores. Not all. Didn't take many coats. The stain filled some and I "sanded in" the first coat of finish. Head and shoulders above the factory finish. I had to refinish tthe rifle because the comb was so high that high scope rings weren't high enough. Like a factory boo boo or something. I reshaped the comb, stripped it, then refinished. What an awesome gun to shootand own. It doesn't recoil as much as my Slade tuned .22. At 23 ft lb with FTT's. Look how high the comb was next to my .22 Tommy.
Fixed and much better. See how sharp the diamonds are? I chased them out with a three corner jewelers file that I heated and curved at the tip. Just takes patience and concentration. Skill? Maybe a little.

Lame guess on my part and I hope I'm wrong, but based on some of the links in the article I posted above, his rifle is likely one of the transition guns built using leftover parts from the UK, then assembled in Turkey after Hatsan got them, since build date on his is 07 07.
I got these links from the article I posted above that spell out dates for when and how everything was done and why my random lame guess is a transition gun, built with Webley made parts, but assembled in Turkey:
The 4 I have were all built in 2012 and while the first 2 lines on the breech say the same thing his does, they have a 3rd and 4th added to say Imported by Webley & Scott USA and Made in Turkey. No clue when that change took place or when they started using the Quattro triggers which all of mine have, but they did do a very nice job of copying the UK built Tommies except for that...lol.

This is a transitional Stingray 2. UK stingray parts and some kind of not so good Hatsan trigger. Hatsan stock. Probably worth about $125. Maybe? I shot a new one once. It had so much goop inside it actually shot flames out the barrel! Bag it on eBay today!!!
