Here are the dimensions just taken from an original Webley spares spring bought to fit my own .22 Falcon :~
215mm long
19.7mm OD
13.3mm ID
3.3mm gauge wire (good old Imperial 1/8")
32 coils
This spring was purchased as a spare for my own rifle which I bought in 1971 when I was 13, with funds from my 1st Saturday job; the spring which would have been bought in about 1973 (just after decimalisation) still wears it's original Webley branded metal disc and a card price tag showing the princely sum of 46pence!!!
I still have the rifle and could never bear to part with it, there are too many happy teenage years shooting memories moulded into it
All the best, Clogger
