Our Assessment: Webley & Scott is most famous for their revolvers, but they also make quality air pistols such as this Tempest model. The pistol cocks by pushing foward on a thumb-lever to release the barrel which is then pivoted up and forward almost 180 degrees. Once cocked, a thumb-safety can be engaged until ready to fire. This air pistol has a comfortable grip for a right-handed shooter and balances well. It should prove to be an accurate shooter unless, given its high condition and box, it ends up in a Webley collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This pellet gun CAN be sold to adults over the age of 18 in California.
