I also swapped the coil trigger spring in my Senior to the new "hair-grip" shaped type made from wide flat spring steel and it is a lot smoother.

The newly fitted coil spring on mine also bent over and made the trigger feel rough in comparison to the new type.

Well worth doing on a Senior I would suggest.......as long as it fits.

This new "flat "spring replaced the original coil spring in 1955 I believe but Webley still advertised the old coil type as the correct replacement part for years afterwards and to further confuse things they also left the drilled spring hole in the trigger to take it as well!


...this is how my Senior ended up with a scratchy coil spring in the trigger - we thought it was the correct part!
