I think you could get about £80-100 for that one, sometimes people get desperate for them as they are the most powerful springer pistol, can get over 6 ft/lbs (Section 5!) if tuned, so do check it on the chrono.

If you find Desperate Dan, the desperate man with his eye on a BSA Scorpion, you could get over £100. Looks like a nice complete Scorpion kit, all the bits are tres 1980s to the point at which it would be an art-directors dream if they ever made a movie about airgunning in that golden era of the springer 'The Rod Lynton Memorandum'* for example.


*This is a movie about the famous hunter and airgun tester where he has to clear a barn of rats using airguns but WITHOUT access to a decent hairdresser.

Hi John, I sold a .22 pistol with extras for £80 plus post last Christmas, and fair had my hand bitten off. I also advertised my mint .177 MkI with all its bits at £135 plus post two weeks back but withdrew it from sale almost immediately as couldn't bring myself to sell and got inundated with hate mail for doing so as many wanted it. Therefore, imo, reckon in all seriousness your kit as detailed and pictured with the box and all has got to be worth the same (£135 plus post) all day long . Atb m8: Gareth W-B.

.....one claibre in its original box but I think this has much to recommend it. I would say Mr GWB's estimation is spot on for a minimum if you had to sell. Now tell us you got it for a fiver in a toot shop

The only thing I come home with when shopping is a big grocery bill and a snickers if ther boss thinks I have behaved
