Well oiled!

Thanks Ian. This will explain why there was no movement with a piece of tissue paper over the breech.
Does the spring size seem about right for a leather pistoned model?

Its when you are so excited at seeing a Webley pistol that you have an accident in the lower regions

Is this why they had to put a warning on them not to remove your butt plug

Thanks again. My trigger block has a spring guide just under 14mm in diameter threaded into it (I have been told this isn't standard). I have tried to unscrew it by hand but I think it needs heat and with just having had it refinished I don't want to go down that avenue. I'm wondering if I could get a sleeve to fit over it so it will accept a 16mm ID spring?

You mean ...... you s**t yourself? Ive finally found a good use for Wobblys. As a laxative.

Is this a popular modification? In my little experience with the Weirhauch trigger block I've never seen this done.

Unfortunately the Wobbly pistol involved in the above links had such a hair (read worn) trigger the owner realized it was dangerous and took it apart. That was in 2013, 7 years ago and it STILL remains in bits to this day.

It's a fairly common tuners modification, Garry.

Both Venom and Bowkett (and other tuners) used to fix the guide into the back block back in the day.

You won't find if the gun has a porous breech with the tissue test, the problem is internal --- a bit like having a head gasket leaking into the crankcase on a car.

Thanks Mick,

If it does have a porous breech is it fixable? I have just ordered a new breech seal to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the link, I'm hoping the breech seal fixes it to save me going down this route.
