I'm not sure how to put pics onto the forum. I will ask my lads if they can sort it for me

I paid about £220 for mine 12 years ago, and sold it for around £250 a few years later.

Quite nice guns

Gentlemen I have tried to impress this on you nicely and it doesn't seem to have sunk in :-

So now Mr partner is on a one week ban for offering to buy off the back of a valuation thread.





All the best Mick

Sorry about this. I guess it's easy to forget the forum rules. I think Mr partner will have done this unintentionaly.

The Mk11 is a 2 stroke whilst the much much earlier Mk1 was a multi pumper made allegedly ( sorry I had to start collecting somewhere and don't stretch that far back ) for a Rentokil contract . Seem to remember the Mk1 was a brass chambered affair .
Anyway back to the Mk11 - I believe that they shared the same bodies and components as one of that companies same period Pcp's ( - like Titan and their Manitou pcp Vs Mohawk pumper ) but a totally self contained unit . The power could be either or - on first pump a lower power shot - Bell Target or barn ratting or , and then with a second stroke fuller power . As accurate as any Pcp and like other pneumatics deadly accurate . Vlues were always high for these - they were still fresh in people minds as a premium branded item back say 12 years ago , and now today the same is true within collecting circles ...although they can still be used to the full esp by those who grew up using springers .

I was given a 'broken' MK2 as a present some time ago and resealed it. It was not a difficult job and needed no 'odd' rings. One pump gives about 6 ft lbs and is quite easy. Two pumps gives about 11 and is much harder. I intended to try an HFT shoot with it but after extensive plinking I decided that 30 targets in fairly quick succession would be a lot of effort. I can see, however, that as a self contained hunter it would be excellent. Accuracy was spot on.
I was informed by Daystate that they made no money from the Sportsman, hence it was dropped from the range (no pun intended).
I did keep a record of my reseal (no photos) but thought it too recent a rifle to include in the Idiots Guide sticky. If anyone would like a copy, just PM me with your e mail and I will send a copy. It may help.
Cheers, Phil

Now that I have put the correct model of gun can someone give me a clue as to its worth. Daystate sportsman Mr 2. Cheers
