    Sharp Innova .177 in original condition

    Hi folks, i've just aquired the nicest original condition Innova i've ever seen.

    Remember the aluminium 'Front ends' threaded for a silencer that replaced the original plastic front sight/fore-end assembly?.....well this hasn't got one!

    Original varnish finish to woodwork.

    Original front sight/fore-end assembly with hood...(And how many have retained that?)

    Blueing in excellent condition....(Tends to rust under cocking arm)

    All screws as new.

    Trigger guard as new.....(The blueing on these wears badly and their prone to rust)

    It even retains the label inside cocking arm telling you what points to lubricate.

    This has to be one of the few Innova's that hasn't been tampered with, its been in storage for years.

    To all intents and purposes it looks like a gun thats had maybe a few months use, then put in storage, overall near MINT condition.

    Just one minus point, it doesn't have a rear sight.

    I'll try and post some piccies over the next day or three.......damn it, i might be tempted to sell.....

    The gun itself..just needs a rear sight to make it 100% original

    Picture of cylinder....these usually have scuff marks and rust spots through wear, this is a tidy example.

    Now the question is.....what price do i put on it? do i use it as 'Bait' to get hold of a Sharp Victory or Pan Target? or even a Venom tuned Innova?

    Nice rifle there 'Jud'. The Innova was/is a much under rated gun.

    Lovely

    Quiet envious! a .177 too!
    Mind you its in such nice nick that you will have nothing to do on her! And thats part of the fun I reckon

    Just been making a new piston seal for an Innova out of Silicone sealant Trust me it works well and is smooth as a babies bottom! easy to do too.

    Cheers Ian, the trigger hasn't even been adjusted on it, it had the standard 'Long travel' as per factory setting.

    Absolutely mate, as far as this gun is concerned its a case of 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' i'm leaving it as it is, nothing needs doing....apart from finding and fitting a rear sight that is.

    Please feel free to share your 'Seal technology' with the rest of us Innova fans!

    Hi well is it going to sell ?

    Has he been tempted to let it go ??

    Looks like theres a lot of runners in the race, me i'm usually the one with me laces tied together.

    Looks lovely though, got a .22 and can't fault it putting out 11.4ft/lb but maybe would like a .177 (marriage made in heaven kinda thing LOL).

    If its going to go would like to know.

    Cheers
