    bsa mercury .22

    hi guys , i have come across one of these rifles today while working for an old fella , he has a bsa mercury .22 rifle which is in a good condition and still in its original box sitting in the attic . he has asked me to make him an offer . i dont really want the gun as i have enough , if i do get it off him would anybody be interested in taking it off my hands ? i cant leave an old rifle like this sat in an attic doing nothing .
    leed me not into temptation . i can find my own way

    Mercury

    Hi,
    Yes if there are no marks and no rust I'd be interested depending on price.

    Good call, but do please remember to start a proper sales thread for it, rather than sell it off the back of this valuation thread (rule as per the stickies), won't you ( http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=372921 ) . Cheers: G.

    yes will do , just trying to find out if it will sell before i post as i didnt have the rifle at the time . now that the rifle is in my posession i will advertise it , however , i may also ask my local gun shop to put it in their racks to try and sell .
    by the way the rifle is in fantastic condition as it has only ever had 100 pellets put through it , there is a small bit of rust on the open sisht but nothing to noticeable .

    I sold a mercury a while agofor £115 it was in very good nick but no box , they are quite collectable as they were not as popular as the airsporter, but every bit as powerful cos there is no loading tap to leak.

    Sounds like it is in excellent condition, so 150 might be appropriate. Bit concerned about the RUST, is there any anywhere else? Otherwise it seems to be as-new though?
