In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Virtually no response so I must be asking too much! This is the only one of this model I have ever seen but presumably it must be more common than I thought!

I don't think there's much wrong with the price, actually. It's a scarce rifle in very nice condition, with crisp lettering and no rust. Maybe people are put off by your reluctance to post? It seems to be a big factor, although I completely understand your reluctance.

Carriers will not take an air rifle. Parcelforce will not take an air rifle. Royal Mail will take "sporting firearms" as per their charter. It would exceed the length for special delivery (61cm) which would have insurance and cost £25! Standard parcels would be Ok but would have £30 max insurance! This is all a Royal Mail plot to stop the legitimate sale of Air rifles!

Not so, Mike. Parcelforce 48 will carry air rifles now, though the maximum compensation is £100. But the parcel is at least trackable. There is no such thing as standard parcels any more!Carriers will not take an air rifle. Parcelforce will not take an air rifle. Royal Mail will take "sporting firearms" as per their charter.

Thank you Garvin, I was not aware that Parcelforce would now take air rifles, but as you say £100 max compensation!! I suppose it would help if we had some way of taking out a separate insurance. Also,if you work out the fuel costs,( my car will do 50+mpg on a gallon of diesel,) for £30 I could do 250 miles, this gives me a 125mile radius for collection. Probably safer than Parcelforce!

A certain shop on the south coast use TNT and hawkeye sent me a cadet major using citylink.
It's not just fuel costs that factor in to a person wanting postage, it's time. I went to Boston for a MkII, from Brum it's 180 miles round trip. I had the luxury of doing it mid week and daytime, still best part of 3 hours there and 4 back as I hit awful weather on the wrong side of Leicester -is there a right side??
That would be a long night if done in an evening. Doing it at a weekend??? provided your other half, kids or other commitments allow???
At the end of the day time is precious now more than ever.
And we're all used to getting everything NOW!
Northampton isn't far from me and if it's still available after mayday weekend I would be very very happy to pop over and relieve you of it. And a good excuse to pop to Scoffers for a proper breakfast

I sold an un-named lathe on the Baye for £50 and the buyer came from South Wales for it! He made his own biodiesel but it was still 4 hours each way. He thought it worth it because he was betting that the lathe was a Drummond, supplier to the Admiralty and precursor of Myford.A certain shop on the south coast use TNT and hawkeye sent me a cadet major using citylink.
