    mk3 webley trigger assembly?

    Can anyone please help? I have stripped the trigger assembly on a mk3 rifle, on re assembly there is no way I can work it out!! it sure looks simple enough as there are only 3 main components, the trigger, the spring that fits in the middle and then the front sear piston latch. the spring fits in the middle of the two, problem is I cannot get any space between the trigger and the sear to locate the spring? I have tried assembling each part 1st to locate the spring, but cannot compress the spring enough to locate the 2nd part (applies whichever way I try it).
    i have tried youtube and the internet but cannot find a link showing how its done.
    Annoying part is always on disassembly it comes apart sooooo easily.
    Any guidance gratefully appreciated.

    From Dennis Hiller's Collector's Guide to Air Rifles. This re-assembly method worked perfectly for me (and I am NOT a talented mechanic).

    And the early model is completely different.

    Understood, but the OP's original question clearly describes the later, much more common trigger as in the drawing.

    Was also understood by me, well aware of the situation. I just mentioned it out of interest as some people do not know the earliest Webley had a Diana type trigger unit. I have one for sale at the moment after converting with different piston and trigger.
