    Tin grip Webley Junior pistol mainspring spec'

    Good afternoon,
    I'm in the process of rebuilding a pre-war Junior and am now at the stage of looking for a new mainspring. Advice seems to be that later Junior springs will not fit the wooden and tin grip models (so say Protek) but the knibbs website identifies the same spring for mk's 1&2. So, I'm hoping for some guidance (or even pointing in the right direction of a source) on the correct spring.

    i really miss ij's webley comments,one of my favourites was when someone asked the well meaning question "where to store webley pistols" and ij posted a picture of a webley in a black bin bag.

    Ian was drier than the Sahara. Must say, I miss his comments on here. Very often had me chuckling to myself.

    I have a few old stock genuine webley pistol parts including springs if you get stuck.
    Gun control means using both hands.

    Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind. I ordered a new spring and have the seals to finish it, so fingers crossed.
