yup

Do you have pics of the webley before dropping to smith? Seems like the smith is an amateur. None the less i would give the smith the opportunity to correct it including replacing broken parts and screws. Of he or she wont make good if it was me personally i would bring them to small claims but thats just me
 
Webley MKI to MKVI main springs are all the same just the MK4 to MKVI are better steel .
might find one on ebay.com.

numrich used to sell them to but not sure if they still ship up here. check marstar to. and gun broker.
main springs do not need pliers to take in and out.
there abit tricky and can pinch your fingers but i never use tools to take them in or out.

Mk. VI spring is US$8.95 at Gun Parts Corp.
Probably other sources.

As far as the finish goes, a modern hot caustic blue isn't really appropriate. Have it gently blasted and then blued using the hot water process. It will look much better.
 
Well that don't sound like they sent you a original webley MKVI spring as all mine have that pin on the side to fit in the hole your talking about.
in the MKI they never changed that in MKI to MKVI . I can show you a picture of a original webley MKVI spring it has that tit on its side for that hole and its the same size in thickness and length. and the MKVI springs I have had don't increase trigger pull.

looking at your pictures that spring is not a original webley MKVI spring. im not sure WTF they sent you there might be some modern copy but its not the right length even.
A MKVI spring looks just like your MKI spring so get pictures before you order any more parts.

I suspect flare pistol, rather than grenade launcher.
No locating pin on it?
A V spring can be thinned down, keeping a tapering buggy whip shape to each leaf. Not hard to do.

looking at the page on numrich it appears they sell the spring with the same part number (A suffix for pistol, B suffix for launcher) as a "grenade launcher mainspring"
I think that might be the issue there. I will try contacting numrich to verify if they made an error or not.

Could be just like the modern made webley latch springs they sell they need fitting they are not original parts.
Try and find and original MKVI one it will pop right in no fitting or work required.
Tiriaq is right you can shape the one you have down and add a side pin but its a lot of work.
If you look at your original MKI spring you will see the bottom end has a lip on it and your Numrich one don't.
 
No, I mean removal of material from the faces of the leaves, tapering from the bend toward the ends. Grinding marks should be lengthwise. You could taper the top arm from the sides as well. Go easy, go slow, don't overheat, smooth, even taper.
