    An odd event...but it might be useful to know.

    Broke the plastic safety on my Tempest, so removed the pivot it fit on so a new one could be made/fitted (made of Al.).

    With the safety removed...which you should never ever do, as I'm sure it would horrify the maker and other shooters (although my first Webly didn't have a safety)....the trigger pull improved greatly!

    Tempest

    I stripped mine to replace the piston seal. While it was 'from together' I polished the edges of the sear & trigger with the finest wet & dry ....... the trigger has improved 10 fold.
    ( I had to get the piston seal mail order , 11 quid posted )

    Actually I'm an expat (born in London) that now lives in the USA. I certainly don't doubt that the Tempest has lots of "Yankee' fans.
