This one is in very good condition. I see John Knibbs has the missing part for £15.Originally Posted by coburn
Baz, I had one for many years before I sold it on. Pop up loading tap and a lot of pressed steel construction. Its one of those airguns that's rare to find in good condition but not worth much either!.
Possibly the smallest under lever

There are two types of loading tap for the Merlin. you have the second pattern, the first had the rearsight built into the tap.

I am a big fan of the dinky little Merlin -- not at all powerful (mine does about 3ft lbs) but great for back garden plinking and very pleasing to look at.
I see Woodys of Wembley have a Mk2 for sale with telescopic sight for £245.

And they've had it for a couple of years.

The most disappointing BSA air-rifle ever. Was expecting a tiny Airsporter made to the same standard as the BSA Cadet, got a nasty stamped-metal thing with numerous design defects and no practical use whatsoever. Combines the worst aspects of American, Spanish and Chinese cheepos in one package, adding insult to injury by sporting the usually trustworthy BSA badge and a ludicrous price tag. Nuke from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
The BSA Buccaneer is the junior rifle this thing was never. Provided your hands are size 7 or less.

So quite desirable then. Will tell my RFD who just bought it for £15. I may buy it as a curiosity as its the first one I have worked on. I am going to have to make the sliding mag from Delrin as everyone is out of stock. Silly making a small separate part like that for a kids rifle, bound to get lost.

Mine's not separate, or am I misinterpreting something?
