R10 low on power..., what's it worth??

[rhyslightnin]

I dont think uve paid that much over the top tbh, as most of the standard mk2's ive seen go for about £500 anyway, you could always could give JB a call and maybe buy a cheap standard reg off him (he may even send u a freebee?) as he bins them after his tune up anyway? then get the xtx air adjustment bits to bring the ft lbs back to what it should be, then sell it on with a bit more confidence? Or send it to JB for a blueprint tune (£200ish), but you would probably wouldn't want to sell it afterwards! good luck

Mmm... Not a bad idea but not sure he would be up for sending me one as it's not really helping his business... Gotta be worth a try though. Thanks for the suggestion.

I dont reckon he would charge u much tbh for a standard reg laying around though? and the xtx bits are peanuts as well. Just a idea? When u got it was it accurate?

Yes it was deadly, but this whole sinario is embroiled in a move for me to try & go .20 calibre and just have one pcp because really I'm into springers., now, I was going to sell my huntsman, then fix this one with some of the cash, then sell it and buy an hw100, but I then it didn't sell & had a go at servicing it, re-scoping it & found how much I loved it. Then I had the idea of changing the huntsman's calibre and got a price for the parts & the cost & hassle is less than the hw100 idea. Soooooo.... On to selling the BSA. If I spend any money or time on it IL be out of pocket there when I could just sell it cheaper to the right fixer upper & we are both on a winner so... What's it worth do you think or what (if you wanted one) would you pay?
Thanks

If i were to be looking at a r10mk2 with a failed reg, I don't think I'd go over 350 Rys. There's plenty around on the secondhand market.
The Huma reg is a home fit but by someone pretty confident in what they're doing. I hope you get sorted mate. If that were mine, I'd fit a reg rather than sell. The r10 is a sweet rifle when working right.

Ok... Thanks, never know I might think of something else to sell.

I'd get it fixed if I were you, Rhys.

Folks don't like buying problems, unless they can't resist it at the price - i.e. dirt cheap.

Nothing is ever simple, your probably right. To be fair I think I'd rather sell it working anyway, just me being impatient!
