Webley service - spare parts?????

[laine snook]

Hello All,

Can you still get spare parts for the Webley Service MKII???

My rifle will not engage and I think the sear is worn - or maybe it is something else. I have not had the rifle apart yet. Are there any common complaints? Can they be repaired easily?

Please let me know where I can get spares, if anywhere.

Thank you,

Laine

There is a little "rocker" on top of the cylinder that locks the cylinder until you close the action. The barrel presses it down.
If the tiny spring inside that has broken, it lets the gun discharge as you try to close the action. You can see it all clearly without taking anything apart.

They may not have the part you require but worth a phone call or email?
Great service too.

Hello,

I have just checked the rifle and I am sure that the main Sear is worn - before the rifle refused to lock when cocked, the trigger had gotten lighter and lighter - I assume that the Sear wasn't locating as it should.

Has antbody got one to sell?? Can you still get them???

Any ideas would be greatfully received.

Thank you,

Laine

Hi laine,

have a look at this thread for a very clever solution to your problem

Welcome to the tinkering club, this sort of thing happens to old guns.

The rocker sear on the top should prevent the gun being fired with the barrel open. The barrel when seated should push it far enough down to pivot it out of the way of the piston.
If the barrel wont seat properly then the rocker sear needs filing down to allow the barrel
to close.

See the two PMs check first the barrel is pulling the piston up far enough
as the linkage, like in the pistols streach's. That can be cured, then we can move onto the sear.

Services dont have a trigger return spring and the main sear spring
is tiny. Bicycle inner tube valves have a spring about the same size.
just clip it down to length and I think plastic throw away cigarette lighters.

Its best not to re profile the sear if possible, better to check the notch
in the piston and re do that and beef up the sear springs.

To strip a Service is simple, I can do it so it must be.

Hi,
I have had a similar problem and my solution to produce "new" sear engagement notches on the piston was to machine a new longitudinal slot in the piston at 90 degrees to the old one. The drawbacks are that the piston is now lighter and you can only do this once. The sears themselves should still be available from the usual sources.
Best of luck with the refurb.
