    Enfield revolver parts source?

    I have an Enfield MK. VI revolver in 455 cal. The barrel latch spring snapped the last time I shot it, and I've been trying to find aoriginal style replacement. Does anyone know where I could purchase one? Numrich has a repro replacement that will work, but I really would prefer an original military one. I believe the spring for a Webley revolver is interchangable with the Enfield, but I'm not sure. I'm located in California, U.S.iconA.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    If you are asking whether a Webley No1Mk6 barrel catch spring is the same as an Enfield No1 Mk6 barrel latch spring. then the answer is yes. BUT, all parts were hand fitted to suit, even among the same manufacturers. In those days Armourers weren't 'change parts merchants'. In fact, the name 'change parts merchants' hadn't even been invented then!!!!!

    Sadly, the supply of originals in the USAicon has dried up considerably. Try APEX Gun Parts or BRP Guns. You can get a replacement from Wolff Springs that will work fine although you may want to grind it a bit to duplicate the original contour. This can be done carefully without creating enough heat to damage the temper.
