    I have just paid £225.00 for one in very good condition. The rifle had been recently serviced and came with the original box.

    Hope this helps. Take a look at Andy's ( Amac ) wanted post.

    I was about to say £180 - £200 before I read the other threads. The thing to watch out for is the breech seal and possibly piston seal. The original breech seal was a sort of creamy colour and with time this becomes like cheese and starts to crumble. New seals are green or blue or red (can't remember which). A new seal set is about £20-£25. So, if you can, examine the breech seal for ageing, and, if a prospective purchaser, factor new seals into the equation. The rifle is not too fiddly to strip, although a little more involved than your average springer.
    So: price at £180 with a possible suspect breech seal or around £220 if it has recently been declared OK or has been serviced.
    Cheers, Phil
