    Hi

    Not as far as I know. The .20 calibre seems to be the preserve of American manufacturer Sheridan. Their Silver/Blue Streak rifle and pump up pistol was .20 calibre.

    Cheers, gromit

    The Hurricane/Tempest were never produced by Webley in .20 calibre, and as far as I know, the only other calibre apart from .177 & .22 they experimented with was .25, in the form of a few 'Apprentice Piece' Tempests with .25 barrels.
    These .25 barrels were specially made, and not just overbored .22's.
    I have one of these, and I believe there are possibly 2 more in existence.
