Webley Tempest

Calling Jeff Higgins.
.
Did you ever do a trigger job on your Tempest?
Thinking about it on mine...I want to increase its accuracy. Trigger spring screw is no help, really. Cut a coil or two off the trigger spring...and polish the parts, maybe.
Also, the sights are crude and I'm thinking of fabbing up a set of peep sights or even some sort of beam light.
.
I now cock the gun by using an upside down "wishbone" technique...like I would break a wishbone upside down.
Much easier to cock that little sweetheart.
.
Using Meisterkugeln 8.2gr (.177) pellets lately - better accuracy (if one could call the Tempest accurate) given that the gun, as it is, is not so terribly accurate beyond 30 feet. I can hit a Campbell's soup can about 5 - 6 times out of 10 at that distance...using both hands and my forearm resting on my patio table.
But THAT trigger! Holy Crap!
.
Thoughts?
