    BSA Scorpion Valuation Please...

    A friend at our shooting club has a BSA he wishes to sell.
    It seems all OK the sights are all present, the cocking aid is with it and he's recently had Roger Moy overhaul the piston head and buffer as it was difficult to cock and he didn't want to sell it like that - now its fine.
    It cocks smoothly and the auto safety all works properly as well.
    Cosmetically its no too bad...

    The flash in the bottom photo makes it look worse than it looks in real life, but with a bit of a re-blue it would be quite nice.
    Its a .177 and it also has dovetails for sights if that helps.

    Any ideas as to the value gents?

    £60 tops I'd say even in the scarcer calibre.

    It is cosmetically rough IMHO.

    I would say £75 ish, The .177 barrel & Cocking aid make up this price ?
    The Sight set would make over £30.

    I only replied to this thread because I have just sold one, I have 4 left , All swapped on here.

    I took 3 out of the loft this weekend, 1, I swapped off here many moons ago with new internals, ( No
    power ) The piston head had swollen & come off !
    The 2nd 1, would not cock ( The piston head has swollen )

    The 3 rd one is OK , However its hard to cock , On testing 6.4 Fpe , In .22 ( It feels even more ) Yes I know !!!!
    I have the top 2 in bits, have a look at this one
    tomorrow ,
    They certainly are a handfull .
    I have some spares for these & A spare .177 barrel, ( I am looking for them )

    Ged.
