    Wahoo! The new Tempest!

    Can be seen here, with your eyes.

    Not sure what to price it at yet...
    no such words as alot or ect, and do you really want to add a second 'o' in 'lose', unless you're talking about something that isn't very tight?

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the old one... Actually looks a bit more matt in its finish. Still nice to see it back again.

    The first batch of the Centennial Tempest is now being released to dealers, but the supply is limited.
    The finish was always intended to be a 'Matt/Satin' finish, as was that of the original Tempest, so the 'New' Tempest is closer to the original intention.
    There are several differences compared to the original, one of the more noticeable being the cross hatching on the grips.
    It is not yet known what parts will be interchangeable, so until someone strips one to find out, it's probably best to assume not many, if any.
    They are made by Hatsan in Turkey.
    Since Webley sales distribution passed to Highland Outdoors, I've no idea of the prices.

    If someone would make a "new" Senior, I'd be interested. It was my dream from over 50 years back. Parents wouldn't let me have an airgun!

    By the time I was in my 30s, I had to make do with a Hurricane, but it didn't feel or look right.

    I was told that these had original parts from the original Tempest that were left over in Webley factory? BSA had an attempt to assemble but were sent to Hatsan to sort out! Have I been told a load of meatballs.
