    Webley Service Mk2 part required.

    Hi all, hope you all have a great 2016.
    I've been working on a Webley Service Mk2 for around 3 months, finished but need a part, it's not available via Knibbs.
    I require the small adjuster screw that is used on the fixed rear sight (not the rear sight in front of the stock, the one over the barrel)
    Such a small part to complete a very nice rifle.
    Anyone help?

    Scott.

    If you need to get one made, copies of the original drawings are on my sig site. Just go to the 'Webley Service Air Rifle' section and look for the 'Service Sight Drawings' sub album which is the third to the right.

    As stated above, a Mk.III dovetail fitting rear sight should fit, if you can find one.

    Looked at mine today. Seems to 5/32 or possibly 4BA couldn't match the pitch.
    Irritatingly it's very close to M4 which I have in Left Hand tap & die.
    Which bit do you have?

    Presumably this is the adjuster you require:

    http://mynetimages.com/album/Trouble...img=26e83a717c

    which does indeed have a Left Hand Thread as marked on the drawing.

    It will be easier to read if the 'full size' at the lower left is clicked.

    Oops! Sorry all mine are the earlier type with fixed stud and graduated knurled nut. LH again though I don't understand why?
    Excellent drawings again TS. Thanks for sharing.

    My Mklll has that sight. Thank goodness!

    I would contact 'Abellringer' as he will supply a genuine Webley part.
