S2K 10 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hi guys, I was thinking of giving my Webley Xocet a face lift as I have injured my knee and I'm unable to get out shooting at the moment . The only problem is I've never worked on an rifle before . I was thinking of fitting a gas-ram and maybe a new sound moderator . Is it easy to fit these gas-rams? I've had browse for info and I haven't really found anything of use. I understand their is a danger when opening the rifle up. I was thinking of making myself a home-made spring decompresser or is this need as I'm quite a big lad who likes his weights. I'm just looking for a bit of advice really and wondering if any you guys have had success with this rifle? Being stuck in this house is driving me round the bend . Cheers Brian Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Right then. Firstly sorry for the late reply, Brian. My head was in no state for a proper response before, I seem to keep on forgetting that I'm not twenty one anymore. Unless someone's fitted something daft to it then the spring shouldn't be under too much pre-load. About thirty to fourty mm is all that you should have to cope with. Here's a link that may help when you're stripping it. There's a small allan screw that needs to be taken out that holds the trigger spring. This needs to be removed before you release the spring. https://www.gunspares.co.uk/products/24558/Xocet/. As for gas rams..... To be honest I've just deleated a load of what I was going to say as it will be a whole lot easier to just talk to you. I'll PM you my number and you can give me a shout any evening. Cheers, mate. Andy. 2 Quote Link to post
