Is this rifle still in working order? Depending on price and bearing in mind the price of any repairs I may have to cary out, I may be interested in buying the complete gun.

the riflr is in very good overhaul condition apart from stated faults,but i think i would rather break this one and put the few extra quid towards my pension fund

What a crazy world ! A MK 3 is now worth more in bits than complete. I have 2 on here at what I and a few others think little dosh.
If it didn't break my heart I would get the tools out too.
Good luck.

i dont like to break them, i think sometimes its good, especially if it can help several more people,get the parts they want,and keep several more classics alive

Same here......but I have done in the past, normally if there is major damage, if the rust/pitting on the cylinder and barrel is too deep to polish out without removing all the engraving etc.....I have had a couple of prewar BSA's like this...the pitting was half the depth of the wall thickness......But one guy was over the moon to get a set of original sights, another the stock, (which was in good condition).....I think just one gun I broke helped out 6 people in the end.....I like to think of it like being an organ doner....it will live on, but in several different homes

I agree with you entirely ! However i do feel that the day of " Collectibles " is nigh,
Lets look at a couple, I had for sale a Bsa buccaneer, I was offered £110+ post,
Barrel ( Very rare ) you will never get another £30 ( not drilled for sights & will fit no other rifle )
Action with spring & piston Etc ( Says buccaneer on it ) £30
Stock, brown you will never see another, £50
trigger unit working Buccaneer.Scorpion £25
Open sights, The pair £35 + ( I have sold Bsa rear sights for £30 + post ) on that " Bay " thing . And yet members go to Chambers & pay extortianate prices for simple things, Why !! because they get them.

I also have a shooting Webley Mk 111,And was going to break, ( I have seen a rear sight go for £34 + post on the bay.)
Also another nice one, but I ask whats it worth, £130 ?Its the same with a number of guns, I had for sale a number of stocks, Meteor/Tornado ? the other Relum/Vulcan All at £20 posted, !
I think you get to the point of " Its not worth the effort " Packing posting etc & for what £15,

I have many spares, Actions 2 Innova,s/ Webley Falcon /3 Relums/ sights for Sharp/Bsa/Webley/Original Sheridan Etc etc, but what are they worth !
As an " Example " I have a Webley Falcon action, complete with open sights, Advertised for £20 ! ( I still have it )
If I want to sell anything now, They allways sell on the Bay,!
I think the day of collectibles is over,I think this generation want them, just look at the prices they are selling for !
Ha ha, I needed a good rant ! I am not trying to sell anything here, They can stay in the lockup forever, What do you think. ged.
