Sorry if i mislead, would it be worth selling for spares, what could it achieve please ?
It is such a shame these old guns of yours so rusty........where were they stored?
Old neglected & rusty but still worth saving like lots of us. You have a PM bud.
If you look on the bay there are tons of spares available.. people look at the price of the spares on knibbs and think they can make a fortune on the bay.. it don't work.like that... the most valuable part of your rifle is the rear sight.
In my opinion, if it is working and complete, you should sell it as a project and I would value it at 40 quid. I sold one in good condition last year for 80... I wouldn't accept any less than 40 as, yes it may be a fixer upper, but what you have is quality.
This would be an excellent father and son project. The outcome would be a handsome, well built and quite accurate junior rifle.
Good luck with your sale.. please don't part it out.
Looking forward to seeing what else you have .
