    Here are a couple of cool pistols ..

    I have a couple that are cool. I bought these at a flea market. One is a Crossman USA 1980s model I think.

    The other is an English Tempest ... it's a really nice quality gun.

    Both are super accurate. I'd like to find out more info on date codes and maintenance. Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum!

    The Crosman is a 1377 pump-up, made between 1977 and 81 with a metal breech, and 1981-96 with a plastic breech (which yours looks like). If it works well now, all it needs is a drop of Crosman Pellgunoil on the pump washer, pivot points and breech seal every 500-1000 shots. You should be able to download a manual from Crosman's website.

    The Webley is an early (1978-81) Tempest. (Later ones say "WEBLEY TEMPEST" on the fore-end.) All it should need is a dab of oil on the pivots on the barrel/cocking assembly once in a blue moon.

    Lots of info about both of them on here and on the wider internet.

    Nice pistols
    The Tempest brings back memories from my youth - we got up to all sorts of mischief with my mates Webley
    Are they .22 or .177 the smaller cal always seemed to be rarer.
