    Theoben SLR98 .177

    Quick question, a mate is looking to sell his Theoben SLR98 Gas Ram in .177. It’s in really nice condition with an AGS scope on it and a Theoben mod. One, seven shot magazine.

    Some say these have a cult following and are well sought after, others say because Theoben went bust, spares and such are Rocking Horse Poop so stay away from them.

    Any ideas?

    One of the nicest Theoben gas rams I ever owned ! Superbly accurate but a little fussy around the magazine area due to some pellet brands fouling the mechanism.
    Can't remember what it finally preferred, may have been F&tt's in .177 Cal. ?

    AFAIK, Impact Airguns still have/make a bunch of spares for Theobens. So that wouldn't be a great concern.

    Why would you need to send PM’s? Was it an offer to buy per chance?

    Nope, this isn't the sales section - and if it were, it'd need a price.

    From the rules sticky:

    Hi. Am posting this to clarify things. When a valuation thread is posted, it must be treated as that, and nothing more. Once an owner of an item has a sound valuation figure, if they then wish to sell, they must start a fresh sales thread in either the main sales section, or if a collectable, in the collectors section, or with my blessing (if it is a collectable), in both . Turning a valuation thread into a sales thread will result in a two week holiday.

    Similarly anyone posting on a valuation thread, or sending a p-m to an o-p that they would like to buy, or swap, with an item in question, irrespective of their motivation, is also unfortunately going to get themselves a two week holiday from the BBS. Asking an owner to let you know when they offer their item for sale, too, will imo constitute offering to buy off the back of a valuation thread, so please don't do it . Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    Sort of does really, he may want to buy it also but is waiting for the chap to advertise it in sales

    From shed tuners quote:

    Doesn't matter if it's a pm.. if your offering to buy it you should be getting a 2 week holiday by all accounts

    Does BBS have a brochure or is the destiy self organised?

    There isn't much else to "enquire" about is there? Unless your asking him if you can clean it for him before he sells?
