Air arms/Sussex armoury BORA?

[Bullnose]

Been in contact with a guy on email and he thought from the pics it might be an NSP engineering model before they decided on the air arms name and that it might be a transition Supra using Sussex Armoury parts from early 1983 with possibly an air arms front sight and recoil pad added later. He has made me a good offer for it, if this is correct what would the valuation be?

Sounds like a Bin End rifle from the take over.

I have 2 very plain wood stocked models. One is .22 with a carbine barrel and Jackal in the scope rails. The other is a good bit longer and .177, but it has Air Arms between the rails. No open sights on either and Air Arms says the serial#'s are from before they ran the company. This seems strange with Air Arms plainly stamped on the one at least.

Guy I was talking to said air arms had no information on air rifles with a serial number less than 20000.

Collector guy has been turns out it was a rapide made in the period between Sussex armoury and Air Arms transition when NSP hadn’t decided on name and weren’t stamping the cylinders. Now sold.
