That is soooooooooo sweet.... It's not about the power, or even the accuracy... It's the ownership.... How cool is that, owning it for 48yrs.. ( my BSA Mercury is around 50 now, old man bought it me in 1974, or there abouts... Airgun treasures from great times..
Lovely to see this after so many years. Hopefully my brother still has my Hurricane in his gun cabinet. I must have bought mine when I was 12 or 13 years old. I never did get the scope for it.
Great idea for a upload, still brings back such good memories of my webley hurricane. In the early nineties I bought one from JS Ramsbottom mail order (remember when you could buy a airgun and the royal mail dropped off your parcel) and my late grandad and myself would spend some great times together shooting that hurricane. I loved my grandad, he meant the world to me. He was a polish soldier who fought at Monte Casino with the combined Allied troops. I still own that webley and will never part with it.
Yes, these old airguns certainly bring back some great memories of better times. I was at Newark last week with the Newark Branch of the Parachute Regimental Association. They have a cemetary off of London road. It has a Polish war cemetary with over 400 Polish soldiers and airmen in it. We presented them with a wooden shield designed and made by a Polish paratrooper who was a member of the Nottingham Branch. He had jumped into Arnhem with the Polish parachute brigade, attached to the 1st Airborne Division. The cemetary has about 40 Polish paratroopers in it, who were killed in an accident leading upto the Arnhem drop, when two planes collided, killing all, but one, who crashed through a tree and landed on a muddy bank of a river, saving his life. He was later killed in action. The shield was presented to the cemetary, and will be placed in the Cemetary chapel.
Oh Wow Mark, that sure is a blast from the past, 48 years ago and it's still shooting pretty good, you did great even hitting the target, I couldn't hit a barn door with the Hurricane 🤣🤣 I got one when I was about 12 or 13.. Around 1979-1980 my dad got me it while we were on holiday up the West Coast of Scotland, so watching you shoot it, brings back a lot of great memories, so I thank you for sending me back in time.. 😂😂 I look forward to a follow up video, that would be kind of cool 😃😃 catch you on your next video.. 👌🤘👍
Cool! Armed with a tin of marksman pointed from the fishing tackle shop and webly i hardly hit a thing as kid if anything wouldn't mind trying one again, personally I wouldn't change a thing with your pistol leave it till it stops or has issues. Good stuff like your vids
I prefer the shape of the Tempest to be honest. We should have purchased all of the old Webley pistols when we had the chance. They are worth ten times as much as what we paid for them in the late 70s.
@@airgunsniper-elite7385 I know! I had the chance to buy a couple of really lovely Webley Premiers back in the 80's for about £15 each, I didn't buy them because they were in .22! Stupid me.
HI MARK I'VE GOT TO SAY THIS. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TOO. THANKS FOR SHARING SIR REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT IT TAKES TO PRODUCE A CHANNEL 🎯🇬🇧👍🏼

Oh wow! I enjoyed watching that. I must dig out my old Tempest, which I think is a year or two newer than your Hurricane.
