If in good condition, the mk1s generally go for around the £400 mark.

Hello, oh i have never seen one go for that money but thanks to reply

Gun only I would have thought around the 450, The mk2 seem to go around the 550 but some seem to prefer the mk1. I had a mk2 , Was a great gun and very high shot count.

hi pardon to hijack. but didnt they do one of these with a solid
barrel and not a liner and sleeve ?

[angrybear]

At that time all rifles had solid barrels,
liners are a new concept, mk1 vermi's were discontinued in 2012.

I'd think £500 about correct, dealers by law have to give a guarantee plus have a shop to support so will always charge a lot more.

They're well within size to post RMSD with the full value covered by insurance,
But do remember to mark it "surface mail only", many years back now but mine was refused air freight by the CAA as obviously a gun when Xray'd.
Luckily the buyer immediately reported it's non arrival to me & I spoke to RM customer services, told them it was an air gun, and they sent it on by road.

Hello, i have always used Parcel Force 48

Hello, i have always used Parcel Force 48

As do I for long rifles, because it's the only legal Parcel-force service but the insurance/compensation is limited to £150.
But
Royal Mail (a different company to Parcel-force) also legally carry 'guns for sporting use' if they fit the RM size limits,
RMSD has basic compensation of £750 & I have an email stating they cover enhanced compensation on guns, which Parcel-force do not.

The only issue is that RMSD will move by air, & the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) do not allow guns as unaccompanied baggage,
so guns must be marked "surface mail only" to go by road.
