I thought I would visit the local gun store a few days ago. I was checking out a few nice used air rifles. They wanted top dollar for them, as usual. The salesman asked if I would like to check out an air pistol. I said sure so he looked under the display case and pulled out a Webley tempest and handed it to me. Wow, it looked almost new, except a half inch long shallow scratch on the tube. I looked at the tag on it and couldn’t believe what I saw $140. The salesman said there was some grips too, and pulled out a set of brand new Beeman combat grips, price 30 bucks. I figure I got it for half price what they go for now. Put the grips on it and shot it a few times, hits hard as my other near mint one. Nice find!
What a find!

Of course it’s the one from England. If it didn’t have that scratch, it could pass for new. My other one is almost as nice, but the trigger guard had a peice broke off so I had to order another one. It must be a Turk one because it wasn’t shiny like the original. I shot both guns at a 2x4 and both buried the pellet flush. I’m debating on getting a .22 barrel for my original so I would have 2 sweet pistols in both caliber. Probably cost 100. 40 pounds or 69 $ plus ship.

Im selling some estate stuff for a recently widowed lady freaked by all the stuff her husband had. In the pile is a Beeman P1 and a Daisy 777. I nearly crapped when I saw how much these sell for. Heavy little buggers too. I was temped to take them as payment for selling the pickup load of stuff but thats too much money to hold back. They sure do look nice and solid. A competition shooter I know is very interested. Should do well for the lady.
