Original 65 info

[peddy]

Thanks for info, what sort of price guide on the 65, in say good complete condition? I thought between 100 and 150? What's the difference between the 60 , 65 and 66?

I would have thought the upper end of that estimate, at least. I sold a minter 65, hardly fired, for about £250 IIRC (it was years ago so I may be wrong).

The mod 60 was shorter in length and lighter and had no barrel lock. When it had a barrel sleeve weight this put a lot of pressure on the breach detent. The 65 had a heavier barrel sleeve and a cam barrel lock. The 66 was identical (I think) but had a squared off match stock.

What Baz says about the seals is important, as with all of the Giss models.
