    If beech stocked, yes. If walnut, more -- and depending on the model, potentially, much much more.

    Hmmmm. As the Mk.III KS wore a beech stock, imho, I sort of agree, but it'd have to be pristine to achieve anything like the thick end of your price range me thinks?

    But yes, I do concur that the KS is a crackin' rifle, and I also recognise that someone who specifically wants a KS probably wouldn't (and probably shouldn't) quibble if the price tag is at the higher end of your suggested price range.

    Vulcan

    Did see one go for £195 last year hence my price range. But then again it's what someone is prepared to pay as mentioned. Mach 1.5

    I'd agree with this for a Mk1/2, not a lot more for a Mk3 - I have seen a lot of these threads about Vulcans lately - and I don't see them selling for what people value them at. I sold my MK II deluxe last year in very, very good condition and completely standard with a moderator, scope, bag and original sights for just £165, I even threw in some pellets. I don't believe for a second it was worth £150 gun only, and I was the original owner! These will only sell for what people are willing to pay for them, price it sensibly and it will sell, only mint, boxed collectors items are worth more.

    As above^
    A lot of Vulcan's were made.
    Mint, and I mean mint then £200, even a tad more.
    Everything else then £100-£185. A walnut deluxe will only just get £175.
    Anything rough then £100 is too much as there are plenty out there. MkI's in very good order are getting difficult to find as most were used very hard. A good MkI then £120-£140, as should be most MkII's in excellent order.
    There aren't particularly rare, and not that marvellous a rifle. They ought to be good value, not some dream premium priced machine.

    Indeed, and agreed, but with a few notable exceptions, as only last month I sold a near mint boxed Vulcan MK.I Special Edition model (not to be confused with the Special Export variant) on here, for £375.00 (one of only 110 made, and one of only seven known to still be kicking around) plus post or f2f collection.

    And £375 wasn't robbing anyone who wanted a very rare example to fit into their collection. Even I was surprised by the walnut one above; that there were a few short runs done by Webley. Its what makes collecting so much fun.
    However for the un of the mil examples lets not get over inflated with prices. I think there are quite a few rifles that in used guise are over priced. Heck a well used HW35E, lightly battered, shouldn't be much. Nor a tatty FWB Sport. Tatty is tatty and just because it goes bang doesn't warrant the more than £100 too often demanded. Not even for parts.
