Airsporter Mk2 for sale

[Prewar]

I impulsively bought this from Garath WB a few months ago, but really pre war stuff is my thing. Overall its nice, with lovely grain on the stock. Blueing is good but the photo etching isnt visible. Its not been reblued. Only problem is the rearsight is loose in its dovetail and needs attention. £115 delivered/£100 collected.

Hi Scott, good to see you all I.T.'d up with a new rig and back on the old BBS again . And what a wonderful MkII .22 you have for sale there -- looks like it's had some impeccable owners in it's time . Ha ha. Atb M8 and welcome back: Gareth.

The little beauty above IIRC is a vintage 1966 and all that (jumpers for goal posts, ooh) . So what you want is an early MkII as the production dates of the MkI were between August 1948 and Sept 1959, and the MkII between Sept 1959 and June 1971 : Gareth.

Gareth, thanks for that, I will speak to the finance minister, meantime have a bump......Best Wishes...Sparko...X
