    Unloved at the Fair

    These two Standards are still looking for new Masters, nobody even looked at them on Sunday, so here they for £175 each, collection only....

    Far from 'mint', but no money for an honest working piece of history.

    Ok, thanks. I will have a think about whether I have space/need/desire for a .22"

    Cheap way this for a newby to get into the addictive world of pre-war BSA underlevers. Once you get one you soon realise that one is just not enough, and then the collecting bug hits you.

    There is something wonderful about shooting the big .22's, and feeling the piston hitting home and hearing the thwack of the .22 pellet hitting the target. A real challenge with the open sights.

    These are so cheap I would buy them myself if I didn't have a few already. Lovely honest guns at a knock down price.


    Good luck with the sale Pete !



    All the best

    Thanks for the comments, Without sounding complacent, I put these up at a price that would give a beginner to collecting a chance to get on the ladder. If they stay in my sulking shed, I wont starve.

    Take your pick

    One will be gone Monday, the buyer doesn't mind which, so ONE left.

    They do look nice but I think I would prefer a .177". Good luck with the sale.

    Yes the Club standard in .177 would be a nicer rifle....

    It seems that nobody values quality at the moment, yet auction houses get silly prices ???
