Webley Tempest Barrel Help Wanted

[coburn]

Does anybody know if a Tempest barrel complete with linkage would fit an alloy Premier or does it have to be modified or the linkage swapped over etc.

All help welcome.

2 types of barrel were used on alloy Premiers
The first alloy Premiers used a barrel and links that looked like they would fit the steel Premiers. The later type barrel is virtually identical to the Tempest barrel except for one or two small differences. The link pin hole diameter is 0.5mm larger on the Tempest to take the fatter roll pin as opposed to solid pin used on earlier pistols. The smaller link is also slightly different in form
I believe the Tempest barrel will fit the later alloy Premier if the hole in the Premiers long link is increased slightly in size, but this would have to be done very carefully
Hope this helps
