    nice condition tempest barrel for cheap wanted ...not fussy on calibre

    I have here a fairly used Tempest in need of a decent barrel...the current one looks kecked.
    I'll try shooting it but thought I'd see if anyone had a spare going cheap.

    I know Knibbs have new ones for £35 if I have to but thought I'd see if there were any spares going?

    If its a yes then the base gun is fairly well used so no a concern re originality etc

    Bear in mind that Knibbs will only be able to post to a RFD which will bump the overall price up considerably.

    Yes they will fit. The only thing you might have to do is to file the side of the pivot a little as some pivots are tighter in the cylinder end plug than others.

    BUT! What you can do, is to heat up the forging and remove the barrel and do the same on your Tempest barrel/ forging, then clean it off and fit the good barrel in the Tempest forging.


    Ps--if you get sorted and fancy giving me your old knackered barrel. I might use it for tinkering (if something is knackered, you can can tinker without worrying so much)

    Or you could get some nice kind engineer to turn you down a bit of scrap rifle barrel to 10.56mm diameter and angle the face of one end at 6 degrees. From that face end, the fine flat knurling starts at about 16mm and lasts for about 50mm. needs to be about 170mm long so you can cut to length and crown to match your old barrel. easy enough to do and Tempest /Hurricanes work quite well in .20 if you can stand the cost of the pellets Fools a lot of people if they borrow it!

    LOL, too many projects and not enough 'Good health' days to complete them in. Doing well ATM but it might not last. My reliability is similar to a politicians promises currently.
