The real thing is to get a length of Ptfe of the right diameter (I have a feeling older Webleys were 51/64th and guess Webley didn,t change this?), with a hole drilled through the middle to take a 2ba screw. I could then cut it with a hacksaw (again at a pinch) and drill a hole to take the screw head.
happy with .22 but for a Target I suppose it would have to be .177. I don't think IJ would like to be whupped by a doorstop in an antiquated calibre?

Bit of a trigger update. I tried the wider trigger (from Nibbs) today and even after a bit of work, it was not as good as the other. So it will go back for a bit more polishing. It has proved to me though that the trigger is more to do with sorting out the contact points than the trigger spring.
I bought my wide trigger from Chambers and it fits well on my Brummie Tempest and works better than the standard trigger that it replaced.
Was the Knibbs part a genuine Webley part or one of their copy parts?
