I bought an air gun last week - A .177 Webley Tempest barrel-cocker spring handgun that came out of a California estate.
IIRC, current models are made in Turkey, but this one's an original, from England.
It shot to my PIA @ 10yds from the very 1st shot I took with it, but since the plastic/fantastic issue grips left me cold, I decided to make a set from some Black Walnut I had hanging around for a few years.
The first thing I did was to make cardboard templates of the issue plastic grips, that I traced & cut out for a pattern when making the wood grips.
I simply cut the wood to match the outline, flattened what would become the inside surface of the grip panels, then shaped/sanded the outsides to my druthers.
I ended up using the issue grip screw system.
This is how they look on the Webley:
A little application of heated paste wax on the heated wood in a few days, and this case is closed !
