I had some new shells so I used those to test the problem.
But it was the barrel clean that sorted it.
Odd but Umarex do say clean it.
Maybe the previous owner was keen on using ammo other than steel BBs.
Pellets,lead ball,potatoes?

Have read elsewhere that silicone oil is bad news for metal to metal contact

I think it odd really that the Umarex Colt SAA being so well made has no removable cylinder, which would aid easier cleaning.This leaves the door open to a competitor to include this feature.The Webley MKV1 with the exception of the needless safety,(also needless on the SAA) is as good a replica as could reasonably be made in a Co2 pistol and leaves no room for improvement and the cylinder,of course can be removed.
The Webley is noticeably better made than the Colt IMO.
Considering both guns are made as far as I know by WinGun I wonder what they were thinking?
