Bloody hell are prices that strong for these nowadays, I bought a Combat with dummy mag (but needs a reblue and a good service) for £80 a couple of years ago, it was up for sale for ages until I bought it, he wanted £150 originally.

Even better looking than a HW35

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

Much the same as any collectable gun really...a rusty gun with no sights or missing parts (especially if the parts are not easy to find) is always going to be a fraction of a mint, complete original.
You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
Sorry Harvey, but £450 for a jackal is fantasy territory. I sold one last year with the original mount and the earler type SP sight for £120. The metalwork was painted black, which lowered the value somewhat, but, for a good one, I'd say somewhere north of £200, and up to about £280 for a boxed one.
There is a FB group which allows sales (No, contrary to popular belief, it is not completely forbidden), see what they fetch on there.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

Actually nicely demonstrates my point... only one is an AR7 in a bit marked average condition, missing its SP sight and mount and its £275 on its own.I agree. 2 for sale on 'G Star' £550 the pair.

It'll cost you another £150 to get a sight and forget trying to find the correct mount - so that'll be £425 for an incomplete well used one

Errr, that'll be because its too expensive for the condition, do keep up - tatty stuff will never command mint pricesMakes you wonder why they haven't been snapped up then

The point I was making was what it will cost you to get a decent one and even tatty ones are not cheap when you consider what it would cost you to restore one.

You sold yourself short my friend:.... An original Singlepoint sight on its own will fetch £120-£150 all day long
Add in that AR7's or Combat models are rare...and a good condition one with the correct bits (not a painted one or one that needs rebluing) is worth an easy £250 and you're at £400 - a minter would easily command a £50 premium on that.
It took me over £20 years to find an original AR7 with the one piece mount and original SP sight - I bought that over 10 years ago and I've not seen another in similar condition, I have seen many rusty old clunkers though....

I agree with you harvey_s
They are now very scarce in good condition with single point sights as the star wars fans have been buying the sp's for years to make Han solo gun from star wars (just put Han solo/blaster gun in Google and click images)
I have a few single point sights and would not part with them.
I would pay £450 for Ar7 and sp sight if condition was good, but then I collect them.
To each his own.
