Wagtail Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi All I'm hoping one of you fine folks may be able to help me please? I have a Webley & Scott Sportsman the 3 shot version of the old single shot bolt action. It has stopped ejecting and was returned from the gunsmiths today with a verdict of a broken ejector spring (the small spring which sits in behind the ejector pin). As new parts are long gone the solution offered was to manufacture one but at a cost of £100 plus at which it was righty suggested wasn't worth it given the value of the gun. They suggested I try to get hold of an old 'scrap' gun to cannibalise the part. I was told it would need to be one from a sportsman . Would anyone know where I may try to get a hold of one or a spring please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Any photo of the broken spring? Surely any 410 Webley bolt action ejector would work! The Sportsman model only differed in the mag. tube & stock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 W & S 410 /.22 & 9MM bolt guns had the extractor sit in the bottom of the action ,the Sportsman as far as I recollect had a different bolt and extractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W & S 410 /.22 & 9MM bolt guns had the extractor sit in the bottom of the action ,the Sportsman as far as I recollect had a different bolt and extractor. Quite possibly the ejector is on the right hand side of the bolt Any photo of the broken spring? Surely any 410 Webley bolt action ejector would work!

subsonicnat Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Keep looking and asking, Depends on thick and how many coils and of course the all important length. Allways keep in mind the small springs out of fag lighters,amazeing little blighters.. If I see one on the deck,I break it open for the little blighters inside.lol.

impala59 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I went to my local locksmith when I needed an un-available floorplate/carrier spring, He gave me his shoebox of old springs to sort through, and I found 3 that could possibly do the job (I didn't have the original) He charged me 20p each and said that if they were no good I could have my money back! floorplate/carrier sorted for 60p! (and 2 springs for the beginnings of my own shoebox) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
