Tempest.
« on: February 20, 2010, 02:29:23 PM »
Is there a rifle based on the powerplant of the webley tempest?
Saw something that looked like it was and I am trying to ID it.

 I've never seen a modern one, but there's this...

 Always wanted one, but they go for big bucks.

That is pretty darn close! I think you nailed it.
How costly are we normally talking? May be able to aquire this one.

 I haven't seen a complete, original one in shooting condition go for less than $500 in the past ten years or so. Not even ones with most of the original finish gone.

 I've seen really nice ones go for close to $1000.
