Webley service mk2

[Rob M]

"think how much more expensive they would be if they were manufactured in the UK."

Where are they made then?

Thanks for the help guys
sorted the problem, it works now
will need to invest in the spring and piston kit as posted
tried it on the chrono was only 5 ft/lbs
sure it was more than that when i was a lad
anybody got an idea on value for a well used original mk2 version ?
cheers

you might not have too much joy with the chrono,they were apparently designed to use the dieselling effect,and tend to be smokey,(mine is),and thereby fool the chrono,I'd be interested to hear what anyone else has to say on that.I've read dozens of articles over the years,and power is quoted anywhere between 8 and 28ft/lbs,all I can say is my father shot one regularly on a farm in the 30's,and said it was a hell of a lot more powerful than the airsporter he bought me as a teenager.

Andy,
The value very much depends on the exact condition of the rifle. How much, if any, blueing is left, what is the condition of the stock, is there any surface rust or damage, all these factors affect the price.
Is it a Service Mk.2 second or third pattern?
Is the barrel the same number as the gun ?
There are usually two numbers on the underside of the barrel, the one on the key should be the serial number, and the one behind the key is a barrel batch number. The Calibre is stamped on the left side of the barrel.
If the serial number is above 2000, it should be a third pattern which is the most common.
Prices for the Service have not risen much over the past few years, as more examples have appeared on the market, but a good used working rifle with one barrel should fetch in the region of £250, with a well [original] blued example fetching considerably more.
Boxed, and cased examples are in a different league, particularly if they have multiple barrels.

Sear was £18.50 from Knibbs in their PDF catalogue about 3yrs ago,probably still the same.

Andy,
You are quite correct. I missed it as I was looking for 'Sear' & not 'Main Sear'. I forgot about the 'Interceptor'
I will find out the current price tomorrow.

[Troubledshooter]

The 'Main' sear is still available from John Knibbs @£18.50 + £2.50 p/p.
All prices will remain as per last published list until the new web site is up and running and a new list is published, which, according to John Knibbs yesterday, could be quite some weeks away.
