dandydany, I own two Webley MK VI's and have worked on them in the past. One in the original .455 Webley and the other modified for the .45 ACP with half-moon clips. The problem with the old Webley's in fair condition is that they are already pretty "loose" from wear and tuning/polishing them increases that wear sometime to an inoperable condition. The best thing to do with that Model VI is to clean it "thoroughly" and enjoy shooting it just as it "is". The MK VI was well made and is fully capable of withstanding regular .45 ACP factory loads. In my 42 + years of gunsmithing, I have yet to see one of these modified guns that was "blown up" using regular loads! The chambers usually have rust in them and you can "clean" them up with a split dowel rod and 600 grit sandpaper chucked in an electric drill. You "DON'T" want to "remove" any metal. Just the "rust". Go easy!....................Dick
