Hi guys I just received another Webley the other day through the post, its the Hurricane and its dated between 1975-1990. Its in great condition with no paint missing and shoots nice. What I would like to know is, is it wise to slightly oil a felt pellet and put it through the pistol just incase of collrcted dirt as I dont know how long its stood.

It is, but I wouldn't use just one.
It won't provide enough back pressure to stop the piston hitting the front of the cylinder.
I'd put a minimum of 4 through at once: dry, oil, dry, dry.
Kind regards,
Phil

I would definitely agree that a single felt wad does not provide sufficient back pressure. I always seat a pellet behind a single wad rather than shooting off two wads.
As you say, it's very important to remove any oil from the barrel prior to use to avoid erratic results.

Yes, I forget about the pellet behind technique.
This also helps with preserving the "leading" in the barrel.

I push a felt pellet through the Model 6M everytime I finish shooting it, and always after around 50 or 60 shots.
