Jackal AR7 valuation

[harry mac]

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.

I agree. 2 for sale on 'G Star' £550 the pair.

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.
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

Makes you wonder why they haven't been snapped up then

Errr, that'll be because its too expensive for the condition, do keep up - tatty stuff will never command mint prices
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.

Sorry for my lack of replies
Thank you all for your time and input
Some interesting reading here
I will get her up for sale hopefully over the weekend and see were we get with it
Many thanks again All

The second hand market seems to of gone quiet at the moment -12 months ago I put one of my ar7 jackals up for sale at 350 and it sold on the same day I advertised it and at the asking price of 350, had multiple people calling me asking if it was available etc but was sold to first person that said they'd have it. So to the right collector yes they can command high prices. I've seen the. 177 parabellum version's sell for as high as 450 but I think that's only because the. 177 models are rarer. I've just decided to sell my remaining Sussex armoury collection and put my other ar7 up for sale at 300 -gun is same condition as the one i sold last year but so far not had much interest. ATB Doug

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....

how much is a woodsman then

[Sideleverjohn]

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.
