A big "Thank you" to the chap above. The action arrived yesterday. I made up a bit of flat bat with a slot in in and managed to undo the nut that holds the piston washer on. I'll have to get round to making a new washer for it. The good thing about these oldies is you do something like that and we we will probably all be dead before it needs doing again
If someone has a bit of a dinged stock going spare? hopefully this will be up and plinking soon. The block for this is the one with the small bolt, but if one for a big bolt turned up I could change the block.
Thanks.
Ps --a spring to try in a Webley Junior came with the gun and I'll have to get round to trying that now I've cut it o size.
My main concern with that is I think airgun springs are quite near the limits of stress and a "softer" spring could start off ok but some get "tired"
Update-----I tried the spring, It stuck out of the end of the cylinder a fair bit but compressed easily to go in. The gun was easy to cock but seemed down in power, After about 15 shots took the spring out and it was compressed to the length between the piston and the guide ----Ie no preload. I will try it again but my impression is that it will compress and shorten on cocking and get shorter to the point of not spitting a pellet out.
