secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) First is trying to figure why the Silver Nightmare will not cock, compresses, just does not cock, can't see any adjustment and trying to find a strip down guide for a 40 year old rifle is entertaining! I am praying somebody on the Webley Owners Club has something! Edited May 12, 2012 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) No, Steve, this is a Webley Falcon, an old springer! Not a Falcon PCP, Chambers seems to be good for the bits though! I had found that strip down guide, but without photos I am a bit cautious! I am a cack handed beggar at the best of times, so things like respringng, new washers etc are undertaken with a great deal of trepidation! Edited May 12, 2012 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 The problem is the piston has worn at the rear, where the cocking arms pushes against. Worn it right down! Needs rebuilding, pistons no longer available! Need someone who can weld! Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 The spring is a ruddy nightmare as well, going to have to make a long list, needs a new piston washer (leather, perished, completely knacked), it is interesting, but I am going to fix this Drugstore Cowboy sort of rifle!
