Looks like the guy behind it stopped paying for it being hosted. Pretty recently I think.
There’s always this (rather excellent) site:

There used to be a very useful website called the Jackals Lair all about Jackals and their ilk. its seems to have vanished. Anyone know when and when it dissapeared?

PS I believe it was set up by a guy who used to be on here, but hasn’t been for a while, who had the user name VeryBigMike.
IIRC I think he had the word Jackal in his user name?

I think that is or was @Jackel, who is, I think, a different bloke.

Have been looking, just acquired what I reckon is a late model Highpoweer. There are a few odds and ends to be acquired. I think yours is a highpower? Or was it sometimes called an AR7? Thats why the Jackals Lair website as so useful! No idea of value, though good condition ones can go for a few bob. There are enthusiasts pout there.
Just looked up Jackals Lair on the Internet Archive Wayback machine, the site is still there, but not all the images sadly:

Don't worry - my site is not going anywhere!
If I had known Jackals Lair was going I would have looked to create a page for the Sussex Armoury stuff to keep it alive.
The site has been down before and then re-appeared so maybe Mike will have it live again soon.
I'm shedding most of my side-levers as I want to concentrate more on the Air Arms target rifles so want to free up some cash/space.
At the moment I'm keeping an early Rapide & a late SE90 Deluxe in .177 but TBH these may go before long as well if I come across a few things on my wish list.
