    Old air rifles for sale

    A decade or so ago I thought I'd take up air rifle shooting and restoring as a new hobby, and bought a load of fixer-uppers from a dealer who was moving and needed to empty a shed. However I'm old and a bit shaky as well as having some eyesight problems, so I need to clear out some of the older ones. I'm not sure if this is the right place to list them, but if not could a mod move the thread please?
    Anyway, here's a list I made a while ago before stuffing them in the garage attic:
    1.
    2. Snow Peak underlever .22
    3.
    4. unbranded sidelever with no sight
    5.
    6. Milbro G36 .22
    7. Baikal MP-512 K .177
    8.
    9.
    10. ZII (Czechoslovakia) .177
    11. Cometa 50 (Spain) .177
    12. NAC .22
    13
    All the above cock and fire but need some work. Hoping to get something around £50 each - does that sound reasonable? How about the lot for £500?
    I'm near M6 Junction 1.
    I also have too many good rifles but I haven't decided yet which ones to part with!

    Hello Stillp
    Can you check the serial numbers for the Meteors ? and confirm their condition.

    OK, I'll try to get into the garage attic in the next few days. Both cock and fire, but as I said one has something rattling about in the cylinder. The other one seems good but I don't know enough to judge.

    Sadly I doubt they are worth £50 each in that condition Pete, especially if you're trying to shift them in one go. Maybe half that?

    Parcel Force 48 or Royal Mail Special Delivery are your only two options. I've used both over the years, as a sender and receiver without issue.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    The Meteors and the Diana are now sold. I'll take £20 each for the others if anyone's interested.
