Viscount rebuild

[mrquiver]

I have a Webley Viscount, it is in ok condition but a bit twangy.

I think it needs a strip down & new spring etc.

I have never stripped & rebuilt an airgun before, did take a Vulcan apart as a kid but couldn't get the trigger back together.

Is a Viscount a suitable first project or should i start with a break barrel?.

The trick is to assemble the safety slide, sear and sear spring (hold them together) and feed them in together, then to align the sear and spring with a thin pin before pushing in the pin from the other side.

I'll be doing a Tracker strip and rebuild soon for AGW. I'll see if I can get a photograph that explains it a bit better, because this one has been causing people problems since the days of the Hawk.

Sounds like a great idea, quite a nice rare-ist Webley, same as the Webley Tracker, and very similar to the Webley Osprey. You can still get parts for them, so why not give it a new lease of life?

Is it the walnut version?

Thanks for the prompt replies.

The trigger does look the tricky part, but i've got too start somewhere.

It is a beech stock sadly, i had a Vulcan deluxe (the one i screwed the trigger on funny enough), it was a pretty gun.
