Hello, Recently got a Webley senior and the spring makes a buzzing sound after if fires and think it needs to go in for a service. Does anyone know a good service place for Webley’s. The company I have used before does not service Webley & Scott airguns. I have a mark 1 
which I love and is shooting wonderfully and would like to get the senior there also.

Unscrew the barrel pivot screw, remembering to remove the tiny keeper screw on the right side first…
Then lift out the barrel…using the front section of the barrel pivot to unscrew the mainspring plug …from the front end (never attempt to strip the gun from rear plug end)
With spring out, replace it with an OEM spring for Tempest or Premier.
Your spring is broken.

Thanks for the replies this community is so helpful. If I try the repair myself would i need a spring compressor?

Steveoo will have to chime back in since I've never owned, let alone torn one down. You might get lucky and find a vid or 2 on Youtube??

No spring compressor required. There is a little bit of pre-load, easily managed.
Bit of a mild jolt into the palm of your hand on release, A few lbs of pressure required to pre-compress it turning to catch the first thread on reassembly….Ive done it a 1000 times.
Any issues just ask.

Stevo is the man on this. I was hesitant about tearing down my senior... took his advice and discovered the Senior is practically the best airgun ever made, just as Steve said. Give it a go, you won't regret it. Just follow his advice and guidance... piece of cake.

Thanks really appreciate the guidance when I have more time will definitely learn to do some repairs myself. Contacted David Slade and sending him the Senior. Already appreciate the build quality of the Senior and I’m sure seeing what makes it go is very impressive and could only imagine what it would cost to make it today.

That statement is precisely what makes this pistol so significant. It`s designed with the mindset of making something that will give the consumer a product that will last forever. There was a time when most things were made that way, sadly though those days have long since passed. The 1940s and 1950s were what I feel the Golden age of manufacturing in the 20th century.
