webley junior advice needed

[paul schindler]

Hi all, bought an early junior off here and when I recieved it, the trrigger was extremely sensitive, dangerously so. Now it wont cock. I've taken it apart and cleaned it and all seems as it should be. Need some advice, as i just cant figure it out. Any help appreciated.

probably a worn sear or an ovalled out sear pin hole - not really much else can go on them

[paul schindler]

cheers for that but both seem ok, the sear just wont catch. could it be that the sear isnt engaging at all for some reason?

[olivercromwell]

stretched linkage can cause it to fail to engage

[paul schindler]

will dismantle the thing again. driving me nuts.

Hi, I take it this a junior pistol and not rifle.
Maybe the sear spring is worn/broken and not having enough tension to
keep the sear in tension to engage the piston when cocking.
Can't think of anything else.

Thanks for all the advice lads but if I spend anymore time on this I'll be going to the Docs for tablets and the wife will leave me. Thinking about it I might just pop back in the garage.....
The hole in the sear is ever so slightly ovalled but not that it should make a differance and the linkage seems pretty solid.
Regards, Paul.

It doesn't require much play for the sear to fail to engage..
