Webley Pistol Breech Seals

[steve medlock]

Anyone any good tips for fitting new seals please?

I'm never sure whether the bevel end goes in first or the flat end. Then as they are a bit large to start with, the barrel always seems to squash them out of shape or prise them out before they ge a chance to bed in!

hi steve, i always have fun with these,i take it its the rubber ones you are fitting,i grind a bit off the face of the rear of the seal[ the bevelled end] and trial fit until the barrel can be just pushed down without too much pressure,dont over do it as they always settle a bit with use.i no longer buy seals for these ,i make my own out of neoprene car fuel line..cheers greasemonkey

Thanks greasemonkey. It took a little time to do but worked quite well.

Cheers
Steve.
