    BSA Scorpion pistol advice

    Hello Everybody and Merry Christmas. Can you give me some advice please on the BSA Scorpion pistol, my local airgun shop has one that seems to be in very good condition, the asking price is £150, is this price ok or too high. I understand that he being a dealer needs to put a bit of a mark up. If the price is right what do I need to look for in the pistol (seals, rust etc.). Thanks for your help Lucio

    If it is just a loose pistol, not boxed with its bits and pieces, then too expensive.
    Good deals with: ali d (twice), mattinlondon, mikemorton, jonboy, the wizard, Moza, markH, fok, gunslinger, Fisherman1, bigwull, mikewareing, TwoTitans,hairydog, airguns, dcl dave, Stuart B, mattie, Locksley, MARK, albrown, kjud, spud, gedfinn2, wasteoid, bullcelt, bunnysniper, wasteoid, pokeandhope, honda+more

    way too high, unless it's boxed with all the extras and in mint condition.
    check that it has both front and rear sights. safety catch can be missing or not working. barrel bluing can be worn away .
    .177 or .22?

    Price is too high. Have a look in the "idiots guide" sticky at the top of the page, for a strip down. The breech seal is neoprene and goes gungy and the piston buffer washer does the same. Sometimes there are problems with the gun not firing, which is usually down to the safety indexing wrongly.
    I like the things, but my advice to you would be to see if you can try one before you look for one and then if you like it, ask for one on here. £60 will probably get you a working one with open sights one it (ie complete). Spares can be quite dear for these as well .

    agree with the guys above, not boxed, no accessorys way overpriced, paid £90.00 for mine which was un boxed.
