The TT has a matt finish to the paintwork as opposed to the shiny finish on my Brummy Tempest and I look forward to getting it set-up and shooting it at the club on Thursday night. - once I have put a few pellets through it I will make some comparisons with my older model and see how the TT compares with the BT.
Hi,

Look forward to the results of your comparison between the TT & BT.

Still getting quite good results from my .177 model and have gone so far as to order some wood grips to add a bit of class.

The only thing that appears to be better thought out on the Brummie version is the breech seal area which is better recessed than on the Turkish pistol.

This means you have to be careful not have the skirt protruding when loading a pellet or it will quickly damage the seal. Not a problem with .177, but I found I needed a pellet seater when using Hobby pellets during my brief ownership of a .22 pistol.

Regards

Brian
