How do you expect to get a valuation with no info on condition or pictures? Going on that info they could all be rusty prices of scrap to mint...

Did it sell yet?

Yes please Neil

I used to do reasonably well at Gallery Rifle using the following technique. Pick rifle up, point at target, pull trigger.

Rex Browne let me had a go with his championship winning FWB at an early FT shoot.

The Shrader valve looks just like the one on your bicycle or car tire. Just a tiny pin sticking up inside the valve. I don't remember who I got mine...

Finding the higher pressure schrader cores can be a pain. I tried car cores and later on cores from industrial tyre set ups. Neither lasted more...

Yes please to fish and chips.:oldwink: Cheers Neil 👍. Les..

I think the 400cc were the ball type valve...

It's a Mk1, I'll have to check the valve. If it is a schrader are those the long ones with a long spring ? I havnt got it with me at the moment.

Guns and scopes had definitely moved on a bit in those 6 years. Richard North used to win a lot of competitions back in the day. Les..

Six days on, and I have had the chance to compare it to an FX Maverick I had in to reseal. The maverick is nearly €800 more. I have just saved...

I suspect Steve Pope might have made a better living in the USA. Maccari did. I suspect Beeman would have loved to have imported more "tuned" stuff...

Great, thank you. Dave

Sold to segata,payment received thank you

I's not the old style Schrader valve is it? Maybe those were only used on the early 280cc bottles. If it is they are an easy fix with a small bicycle...

I started shooting FT in 82, by 89 I had a Whiscombe 50 topped with a Kassnar 3-9 with the etched glass, thought it was pretty darn cool, right up...

Sold to segata ,pending payment

Just replied to your PM, I would like to buy it please

Yes still here

Thanks, just general brute force attitude needed then.

For the valve that you are removing, you can file / mill flats on each side. Or just grab the threads in a vice, if you are binning it anyways. To...

Many thanks for clarifying that Nick !

After my initial excitement ( I'm easily pleased) I need to not be distracted & get on with some other fiddling about with other rifles for a month...
