Webley Vulcan Carbine

[royboy 5]

I have just been given a Vulcan by my brother in law that he said had lost all its power even after a new spring and piston head had been fitted.On inspection i can see that the barrel has moved forward in the breech block away from the seal causing the power drop. A smart tap at the muzzel with a soft faced mallet put everything right for a couple of shots but it has moved forward again. Can someone tell me please how the barrel is locked in place .?

Can`t help you at all with gun smith work Roy but what I can tell you is that I used a Webley Vulcan .22 years ago and my word are they a damn good springer, ( for their era)

 

Good luck with it

So your pivot pin plays a lot then? On a serious note...

 

Just wondering how it is moving forward if there is no movement around the pin.

 

Bangin little rifles those carbines. Love a bit of early 90's nostalgia.

Can't see how the barrel can move foreword unless the the block is knackered ?
