Webley joined with Venom Arms Company to form the Webley Venom Custom Shop that operated out of the Webley factory until it was closed in December 2005. The Custom Shop partnership opened a host of new design developments and manufacturing capabilities, offering airgun products and services including custom air rifles and tuning accessories. The Webley Venom team claimed that no project in the airgun market could be too daunting.
