Webley Tracker Issues

[RabbitRapper 0]

Hi guys,

I have recently obtained a Webley tracker .22 of my friend as it was broke and I am currently becoming an engineer and hope to learn more about gunsmithing / weapons engineering.

I have followed the manual for stripping the rifle, on part 2 it says "push free end of the auxiliary lever into the round slot at end of the body tube." I cannot seem to release the auxiliary lever through this hole, I have even taken the fulcrum pin and clip out so the loading lever is disconnected from the auxiliary lever but it still wont disconnect from the gun.

 

Thanks for your time reading.

Managed to get past this problem reassembled and it is working fine now except the spring guide was broken inside what and where can I get a good spring guide for the tracker?

Try google 'airgun spares' and there's a website that sells many parts of many air rifles, the website is something like gunspares.co.uk

 

Failing that grab a piece of delrin and make your own if you have access to a lathe

best off trying to make your own tbh mate as parts for the tracker are very hard to come by!

Dont say that Daz, Ive just stripped my 95k down, blued it and Im waiting for a service kit from sandwell. I was gonna do the battered Tracker Ive got next.

Like Marksman says old Webley parts are getting harder to find these days unless you fancy buying a spare parts rifle.

Totally agree not much for the tracker/ osprey on the parts sites I have found, would other webley spring guides do the trick? Think I have seen a couple for the tomahawk.
Thanks for the info, Ben.

Dont sandwell field sports make their own that they send out in the service kits? Maybe they could knock you one up?

Just curious mate, but if you don't mind me asking why a Webley Tracker..............?

 

I'm only saying as they are on the whole a very twangy rifle thats not much good at anything above ratting ranges !

 

 

Surely you would be better off spending your time tuning and fettling a old BSA Goldstar or HW 35 ?

If it has to be a Webley then something like a Omega would give you more final enjoyment once its been finished.

Short answer...I got it for free. I am new to air rifles in general and chuffed how this project is going ready for the grease and rebuild once I got the spares I need. Found a guide with damper for webley but costing £22 and just while I am asking do you guys grease your guides heavily? The spring guide it came with was drenched in it.

Cheers for all the help

Ben.
