Airsporter MK 1 and Cadet Major valuation

[jotaman]

Hi

I have a couple of guns I would like an idea of value on.

BSA Airsporter MK1 .22 serial number G prefix in good condition with BSA carving on the stock.

BSA Cadet Major .22 serial number prefix CC also in pretty good condition.

Cheers

The Cadet Major is .177, sorry for the confusion.

I think 9 times out of 10 the guys will ask for photo's to offer guides on value.
In good condition the airsporter Mk 1 would be plus/minus the region of £230 and seen at a dealer/gun shop for £295
The correct early foresight hood that is often missing is key to desirability and no doubt value too.

Cadet Majors are odd, I've seen (bought) good at £75 and yet have seen up to £200 being asked, asked mind not necessarily achieved.
CC is a later one and is a .177 serial as all Cadet Majors are so are you sure of the calibre?

CC is the prefix for .177" Cadet Major produced between 1955 and 1962, Pretty sure they were only made in .1772 as with the Cadets, Some shop had a .22" barrel in which they swore was a factory barrel but folk reckoned it was a bored out No1 bore!!, I think they were asking around a grand for it!!

Yes - BSA Cadet and Cadet Majors were only ever advertised as having .177 rifled barrels so a .22 cal variant would be suspect.

And .177 smooth bore was available.
