Disassembling a Webley Hurricane

I took apart the Hurricane Derrick sent me. I followed the disassembly and reassembly instructions in the manual. I wish every airgun came with as good instructions. I couldn't find a copy online, and there isn't one up on Webley's website, but they may be able to help if you contact them. They do say they "plan" to have historic manuals up at some point...

The Hurricane.

The other side...

These five roll pins are removed with parts in this order.

A spare pin pinch was "precision ground" down by spinning in a drill against the belt grinder. The diameter should be .089" (2.25mm) diameter.

Pins 1 and 2 removed, the trigger guard and sear spring.

Pin #3, and the trigger comes out.

Pins 4 , then 5 and the sear comes out.

The safety is removed.

Then another pin to remove the front shroud.

The pivot pin is tapped out just enough to remove the barrel linkage, but still retain the spring guide.

Then fully removed to allow the spring and guide to come out. It will shoot forward a bit so it's best to have it pushing against something so to control the release of the spring.

The piston was persuaded out. I had a little lube on it.

Then the barrel latch pin was pushed out.

The sight was removed by unscrewing the elevation screw, then removing the two screws that attach it to the pistol.

The rubber breech seal was pried out with a small screwdriver. It had been mounted backwards, not that it probably makes much of a difference.

The spring guide seemed a bit rough.

So I spun it in the lathe and lightly sanded it to polish.

The pivot pin seemed worn so I found a dowel pin of the same diameter and turned it to length (carbide tooling...)

The gun assembles almost in reverse of the dismantling. Pretty easy. I just lightly lubed that which needed lubing and took out a few burrs on the cocking slot.
The gun chronied almost exactly the same as before disassembly, but seemed a bit smoother...
a bit...it is a Hurricane after all.
