FYI internally the Webley action is very similar to the Colt Python in a sense that they work the same way. Very late 19th Century and requires a 19th Century level of craftsmanship to fix (or it could just need a simple cleaning).

Please explain "stick" to me. It doesn't move after the hammer is cocked? It doesn't return to its position of rest after the hammer drops?

Old thread that describes how the parts work on a Python. The Webley lockwork is very similar. https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho...hreadid=20347.

If you have to send it out for repair, try Bill Laughridge's Cylinder and Slide. he trained two employees on how to work on old Pythons.

ETA: If that revolver was cheap (price wise) enough, I'd buy it just to work on it. I regret not buying an Enfield that had a push-button hammer block safety.
