    I've acquired a few Tempests over the years, but as part of my collection disposal, most of them will have to go, but I will be keeping my .177 Walnut gripped example with the wider trigger I've just fitted, and possibly a .22 as well.
    I have several of the brown boxed variety and a couple of the original polystyrene/card cover boxed examples, including one in a plastic Webley case which was actually meant for the brown boxed Hurricane so has packing each side, all of which will have to go.
    I am surprised at prices realised for second hand original Birmingham Tempests in good condition, when some have paid £200 + for the Turkish model.

    Not trying to hijack your sales thread, but this time of year there are a few expenses like holidays and people just working with the good weather.
    I think Tempests are worth your asking price all day long, just might not fly off the shelf as there are a few about. It will go eventually.
    Totally agree people pay higher prices for less good guns. They may be an older mousetrap but they sure work well.

    You might have to wait a bit for a buyer to come along, but I don't see the point of selling them short. A good gun is a good gun, and these are good. Thats my opinion.
