    .455/.476 Webley "WG" Detail Photos of Cylinder Stop, Screws and Spring

    These photos are courtesy of John Sukey, who is helping me with another matter regarding these revolvers. See the thread linked here:

    .455/.476 Webley Needs Assistance



    The revolver involved. (Not John Sukey photos.)

    This is the cylinder stop itself (AKA "bolt" for those used to S&W terms), and the associated hardware required for the Webley "WG" Army Model revolver.

    He notes that the parts shown are commonly broken and/or missing, so hopefully this will help in fabricating new parts or repairing the old. No replacements available otherwise!




    Note that the cylinder stop shown has been repaired by silver soldering a music wire tail to the forward section, so no need to slavishly copy the whole part!

    The pivot point area of the stop is recessed for the screw head in order to clear the hammer.






    I shan't try to interpret the dimensions included at this time...Hopefully they will make sense enough to those in need.

    Many thanks to Mr. Sukey for his efforts!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
