[Sniper Al]

That looks like it’s been assembled, with different parts, they are usually 22 cal, looks nothing like my original

A "Bitsa" if you are being critical.
A "Customised one off" if you are being generous.

 

[Sniper Al]

Oh definitely customized, as long as it shoots ok, that’s all that matters

Plastic front says Tempest too. Whats hurricane about it?

 

[Sniper Al]

What Hurricane

 

[Bignutsbilly]

Tempest i thought was longer at the back it also has a spare barrel but its .25 not 22

 

[Gat Man]

A spare .25 barrel?

No


Tempest longer at the back?

Again, no

 

[SlugFest]

It's the Hurricane and Typhoon pistols that are longer at the back due to their rear sight bases.
The Tempest looks more like.....well.....your Tempest in the photos

 

[Bignutsbilly]

A spare .25 barrel?

No


Tempest longer at the back?

Again, no

Yes .25 i have some .25 pellets 22 fall doen the barrel

You'll find that the barrel is 5.6mm which is true .22 calibre. New .22 pellets are 5.5mm so they'll be loose

 

[Gat Man]

Could you supply a photo of your .25 barrel maybe?

I'm intrigued and I want one?

 

[Sniper Al]

This is the Hurricane, nothing like the Tempest

I have a webley patriot on my fac .25

 

[Gat Man]

But do you actually have a Webly Tempest/Hurricane .25?

 

[Ade C]

Is it me or is this thread a bit surreal?

 

[elitist]

The only 'Hurricane thing' about that Tempest, is that all Tempest bodies started out in the factory as Hurricanes, before they were then cut-down at that rear 'extension' and re-machined to the more compact Tempest shape. This was how the initial prototype for the Tempest came about and the cost-conscious management folk at Webley, saw no reason not to continue with the practice once production of the new model Tempest started. Just one basic body shape from which two pistols were produced. Clever stuff.....

[PJB]

Looks like a breaker to me

I have the gun as shown with a spare barell which is in .25 calibre
