In praise of Webley air pistols

[ggggr]

You swine Jones. Lets hope the minor problem with the gun not being able to cock is resolved very shortly. It couldn't have occurred at a worse time or place, I must admit. Still, with it being so well engineered, I am sure and confident that the issue is minor and said Premier will be up and running very soon.

The gun will also require a period of psychiatric counselling following her abuse by your hands this evening. I cant wait for one of your own guns to go down when there happens to be so many witnesses. I don't seem to be having much luck with Wobblys at the moment, but still feel a strange attachment to them, despite the embarrassments. Next time this happens she will be staying in the bin though. Now BSA 240 Magnums, superb pistols that are fun to shoot and don't break down.

guessing this ^ is a worn sear, which was/is a common problem. Usually some swine sells the gun when this is coming on and either fitting a new mainspring or actually lubricating the gun stops it from cocking. Also look for worn cocking shoe or stretched pin holes on the linkage. Unlikely to be a worn fulrum point.
While the Tempest does not look as good as the earlier pistols, the trigger is more solid.

Thanks for the advice. Trigger pins have never been out by the look of them. I reckon worn sear as well !
