I polished mine all up last week but still have not reassembled. I need a new mainspring and im going to get a PE parachute seal made up for it.
I didnt take much material off the sear, instead, i opted to snip 2 coils from the weight spring and go for the mirror finish... if theres not much improvement, i may file it down a little... the problem is its been in bits for so long and ive been shooting this fwb100 so much, im afraid i wont be able to compare before 'memories' to after !! 😃

Donald, I might be loosing it but, did I read a thread some time back about you asking an Aussie company to make a custom piston seal for a Tempest? If so, did you, and any feedback on them you can share?Originally Posted by thisisdonald

Tom... sorry for the late reply.. I didn't see it till now.. no I didn't get the seal.. I'll try again.. they wanted me to do a cad drawing of it using some free software and I couldn't get my head round it... u sacked it off and got a spring and PTFE seal from protek
I didn't reprifile any if the seats but I did polish them on a wheel and shorten the trigger spring - well worth it... a lot lighter now and it really helps accuracy... breathed some life back into my favourite boyhood gun!!!

I know one person who did it on a Hurricane and then a tempest and cannot believe the difference.

Hi Guy,
I did this trigger tune on my Tempest and Hurricane with great results.
Both are light and crisp.
The two extra faces to polish and reducing the ‘bump’ seem to be a definite improvement on the usual obvious polishing most people reccomend.
From memory I kept working on them, reassembling and testing two or three times till I got them where I wanted, so I didn’t over do it.
Very pleased with the results, Hurricane has Beeman target grips and with a nice trigger is really accurate.
