It's hard to tell in video, but your cylinder appears to have been shaved for the 45ACP cartridge and moon clips, done by importers for the American market. Please don't use commercial 45 ammo though without a better understanding. The area behind the cylinder stop grooves seems too short and I think I can make out a cut-off serial from the grinding. This would also explain why your firing pin wasn't consistently reaching the primer. This also means the cases are unsupported during firing and are jackhammering the frame. People unfamiliar with older firearms should be warned: if it isn't running correct please stop shooting and assess why in case you cause further damage or even suffer injury. edit: timestamps 1:45 and 10:55 Yep, unsupported and flopping around. Shaved cylinder / wrong ammo for the gun.

*WARNING for shaved or cut Webleys in .45 ACP/Auto Rim*** This caution is directed at owners of .455 Webley revolvers - or any other revolver originally chambered in .455 for that matter - that have been converted in some manner to chamber and fire .45 ACP cartridges in moon clips (or .45 Auto Rim cartridges without moon clips) You will likely have been told (or have read) that it is fine to shoot "factory" or "GI Spec" .45 ACP (or .45 Auto Rim) cartridges in your altered .455 revolver, and you may well already have put many such rounds through your revolver without mishap. Please be aware that in the view of many who are familiar with these revolvers IT IS NOT SAFE TO FIRE SUCH ROUNDS. Please consider these facts - 1. The operating pressure for the Mark VI Webley revolver (the last, and strongest, of the .455 Webley service revolvers) was a maximum of 13200PSI (i.e. six 'long tons' of 2200 lbs). 2. The standard operating pressure generated by milspec and full factory loads of .45 ACP ball ammunition is 19,000PSI. 3. The pressure of .45 ACP milspec and standard factory loads exceeds the proof load for the Mark VI Webley revolver. 4. The dimensions of the chamber throats on Webley service revolvers are a bit variable, but generally are smaller than bore diameter for some reason - but this system worked well with the original hollowbase bullet design, which was quite soft (20/1 lead/tin) and non-jacketed. These soft bullets swage down passing through the chamber throat (.... my own view is that this was intentional, to get the most out of the relatively small powder charge, and thus maximize the velocity produced ....) but then the base expands nicely to engage the rifling in the bore. However, the general consensus is that jacketed bullets (such as those loaded in most GI-spec .45ACP ammo) can work to dramatically increase the already excessive chamber pressure generated by such rounds. 5. Furthermore, the earlier models of .455 Webley service revolver were not as strong as the Mark VI. Indeed, the Mark I, Mark II and Mark III revolvers were in fact designed for black powder loads. Although it cannot be denied that many .455 Webley revolvers have survived being subjected for a long time to standard .45 ACP ammunition, that is equivalent to having been fed a steady diet of proof loads. Simply put, it is a testament to the sturdiness of Webley service revolvers, but can hardly be considered either safe or advisable! It is best to handload these shaved Webleys with lead bullets in the .452-455" size range ad 230-270 grains in weight in either .45 ACP or .45 Auto-Rim cases downloaded to 620-710 fps. This is the only way to safely enjoy shooting a shaved Webley.
@dglewis89

The cylinder on your Webley was probably shaved to used .45 ACP with moon clips or .45 rimmed. Using the .455 Webley ammo in these shaved models moves the primer a bit further away, making them less reliable. This modification was done due to the availability of .45 ACP when they were being imported, although modern .45 ACP exceeds the rated pressure for the revolver. The best way to get ammo for a shaved cylinder is to reload your own. Just wanted to say that's probably the reason you're having issues. My grandpa had one of these most of his life, it was his camping and home defense gun. He recently passed away and my dad was lucky enough to get it. (Well, my mom got it, but we all know my dad really wanted it)

.38 S&W is definitely anemic for the Enfield revolvers. Most .38S&W ammo is made for top break pocket guns like the S&W model 2 and its various clones, which have significantly weaker actions than the Enfields, which were made for the .38/200 and later MkIIz loadings, which used a 200 grain cast lead bullet, and a 180 grain FMJ respectively.

I think the problem with your Webley might be the fact that your trying to shoot .455 Webley instead of .45 ACP. Many Webley MKVI revolvers have had their cylinders shaved to accept .45 ACP and when you try to switch back to .455 Webley with those revolvers then you will get a lot of misfires. I'm not 100% sure that is your problem but I highly suspect that's the case. Take it to a gunsmith and have him inspect it and maybe mention that to him. If the cylinder has in fact been shaved to accept .45 ACP then only shoot mild ball rounds through it.

The webley 455 came to America and the Americans decided to slightly shave the cylinder so it could hold 45 ACP ammunition. So when you load it with actual 455 webly ammunition the spur on the hammer slightly strikes the primers due to the shaved gap so in order to be able to shoot 455 ammunition you need moon clips for the 455 caliber. If you do decide to use 45 ACP use low pressure ammunition.

There seems to be some controversy over the Webleys converted to .45 ACP these days. Many thousands of such guns were converted during the surplus mailorder boom of the '50s and '60s. They've been fired extensively with the alternative cartridge, and are entirely safe to use with standard pressure ammunition. The groove and throat diameter of the Webley runs .004" to .006" larger than it would be sized for the .45 Auto, and they have fairly generous cylinder/barrel gaps. Both of which reduce pressure. They were also meant to use half-moon clips or .45 Auto Rim in the conversions. Many Webleys have developed excessive cylinder endshake, and benefit greatly from shimming the cylinder back. Though shims have to be made on the lathe and fitted. That will usually cure any misfires. Mainsprings are rather stout. The Webley mechanism is also very simple and fairly easy to retime. But rather different than what we're used to seeing in the United States. Generally it's the timing of the cylinder bolt dragging a bit on the indexing notch as it releases that causes a perceivable hitch in cylinder rotation. The bolt must be elevated to advance its timing. The hand length will control cylinder timing.
@baneofbanes

No they are not. .45 ACP is significantly higher pressure than .455 Webley. Many Webleys have blown up due to that. If it was a commercial gun blowing up that much with off the shelf ammo it would be recalled if not have law suits filed against the company.
@davidcolter

As a bunch of others are saying from their own toilets (we are not all in the same toilet, just to be clear) it was common for Webleys in the US to have the rear of the cylinder shaved down slightly to take a .45 Auto Rim case. That case was itself supposed to take the place of .45 ACP in a moonclip, for shooting the WW1 S&W and Colt revolvers without a moonclip and as such is a thick-rimmed cartridge (thiccc). If you have found some actual .455 Webley ammo (and it looks like you have) then those old timey Empire seeds are now too far forward for the firing pin to reliably ignite them. Find some .45 Auto Rim brass and try it in the cylinder, but dont shoot a factory load because it will be much higher pressure than the Webley was built to take. 700fps is the typical velocity you get from Webley ammo, compared to the 800+ from a US freedom boolit. DONT LET ANYBODY MESS WITH THE TIMING! Webleys do not use the same lockwork as a Smith or a Colt so the usual gunshop counter test for timing doesnt work, they look loose as hell although they are not. Somebody has to really actually properly know Webleys before they can work on them.

Love the Webley. Heads up on the comments about the reliability and back boring of the revolver. You have to get very lightly loaded 45ACP, GIs tried to rechamber the 455’s but they weren’t designed for the stress of 45ACP. Use of the full 45 can crack the frames, 455 Webleys were designed to be used with black powder initially, they modernized to use smokeless.

Looks like your cylinder has been turned down to accept .45 ACP moon clips, as many of these old wheel guns were. There looks to be a fair bit of slop for the cartridges when using .455 to move forwards and backwards, which causes no end of light strikes. The problem is that even if you were to use .45 ACP, it unfortunately exceeds the proof pressure of .455 Webley. Your best bet would be loading .45 ACP with moon clips or .45 Auto Rim to lighter pressures if you want full reliability out of this old warhorse

They’re marked “HKP” on the back of the frame. When they were surplus they scratched it out so there’s a couple lines through it but you can still clearly read it. Definitely some of my favorite guns, I grew up in Hong Kong so it really feels really good knowing I have a piece of cool history from my hometown.

My grandfather bought a belgian webley from a french flea market in the 70s. Basically stole it for the price. It's not shootable due to a missing ejector and some wear on the locking piece, but its nice to look at.

Looks like the cylinder was shaved that might be behind reliability issue

The British had smith and wesson work on the triple lock and chamber it in 455 I like to thank the lucky brits that got issued a smith got to truly experience a fine revolver and I remmber reading a account of a brit that had said hand ejector concealed inside a coat when he was captured by 3 Germans and shortly came under shelling when everyone took cover in a hole he slipped the 455 out and when illumination went up he quickly plugged them all a few times each da from a few feet away and when it went dark he slipped back to his lines.

I just found a Webley MK IV war finish at the gun store I just had to grab😂 the tag said non firing but the shop worker said the guy was using the incorrect 38 ammo. He was trying .38 S&W where as it’s designed for 38/200 military loads so I’m sourcing some proper ammo and excited to get it out to the range and yell “TALLY HO LADS!”

some folks cut the cylinder to fit 45acp. Those will sometimes have issues if you dont use moon clips to shoot.

For me being a true Scotsman, I could find no better sidearm than the Webley Mk VI, I even kiss old Nessie good night. Just hearing the bagpipes in the intro brought tears to my very Scottish gaelic pearls.

I had just bought a mk VI a few months prior without doing much research on them. I bought it at a very nice surplus specialized gun store for way to much but took it home after doing some research and ran into a few problems. Most webleys that have came into the United States were purposely “cut down” by the importers to accept (.45 acp) (.45 auto rim) (38 special) as the ammo was far more available to the civilian market at the time than .455 webley. Upon doing this they created major head spacing issues and not to mention the cylinder and chamber pressure difference between factory .45 acp (19,000psi) and .455 webley (13,500psi) It has been known to destroy the more beefy and robust Mk VI and absolutely frag the earlier models all together. You can identify a cut cylinder by the cereal number on the cartridge loading side of the cylinder near the top being ground in two indicating that the gun was modified and should not be shot unless hand loads are used or converted back to the safe pressure of .455 webley. I was lucky enough to return my Mk VI and get a good 80% of the money back. Never even shot a round.

sadly an original un shaved 455 Webley is hard to find, and when you find it they aren't cheap. Most Webley revolvers found today have shaved cylinders for 45 acp moon clips :( Your gun is probably a shaved cylinder which is why they rounds were not striking hard enough. The firing pin does not protrude enough due to the shaving of the cylinder face about .05. Recommendation is to check the cylinder for proof marks by the face where the rounds drop in, don't see any then it is shaved.
