Despite liking the top break and it's looks I kind of shied away from buying a Webley because it's lock up system reminded me of the old H&R or Iver Johnson mechanics - hand pushing the cylinder against a cylinder bolt that's integral to the trigger rather than independent. Handled one recently and got a good deal on a Mk VI is nice shape (River City Gun Exchange) and see that its lock up is just as solid and "bank vault" as the Colt.

Cylinder is shaved, however I reload so appropriate pressure ACP and AR are easy for me, will likely use AR mostly.
I also reload for the 455 Webley. Have read there's a metal shim similar to a full moon clip that can be dropped over, has anyone seen where available?
The internals could use a cleaning, but I haven't found anything on line that shows how. Looks pretty simple. Remove the V mainspring and trigger guard, drop out trigger and hand from the bottom and hammer from the top? Anyone done it, any pitfalls?
