Hi Chaps,

I’ve recently purchased one of the above which is not cocking. Having disassembled it the sear seems fine but I have discovered that the piston ring is fairly loosely fitting and, perhaps more seriously, the mainspring had sheered one coil off the end. Do you think this would prevent the pistol from cocking?

I wondered if someone could advise me where I could buy a mainspring and piston ring for this type of pistol. I noted that Proteck supplies have springs for sale but I wasn't sure if these would be correct for this pistol. Therein, will the mainsprings for the other pre-war Webleys (i.e. Mk 1 and/or Mk II target model) fit the straight gripped senior.

I’m hoping the replacement of these bits may fix the issue – However, have other owners of this type of pistol had similar cocking issues (and if so how did you fix it!).

Thanks
Olly
