    Webley Hurricane question

    I've recently bought a Hurricane off here. It seems to be a nice little plinker It has a Premier Mk2 barrel catch on it like this https://www.airgunspares.com/1440jun...rmk2catch.html
    rather than the Tempest/ Hurricane one . Did Webley ever fit this to earlier Hurricanes?

    The gun I bought has no fore end on it--------and while i did briefly contemplate tarting the gun up a bit, it plinks well so other than one touch of paint, I cannot see me doing it. If anyone has a cheap/free! fore end off either a Tempest or a Hurricane that is worn or has no writing, please give me a shout. It will probably be more in the character of the gun.


    UPDATE---I've been told that the Premier Mk2 catch was never fitted on the Hurricane/ Tempest at the factory.

    BUMP----if someone has a worn fore end.

    Guy, you do realise that's a Tempest, not a Hurricane?
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    Does it really matter when showing the barrel catch?
