sounds OK.. I assume it;s a FWB sport (124/127), but every other FWB is worth more, so whichever way, it's probably fair
I have just been offered this air Gun but I have never herd of it so can't gauge the price the guy wants £120 for it is this good ? I would rate it an 7 out of 10 for condition.
Your thoughts would be very welcome . R

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
If it's the 124 or 127 check the stock for cracks, normally across pistol grip. Rog
If (and I cant think what else it will be in .22 ) it is a FWB Sport 124/127 (it will have it engraved on the back of the action), look very closely around the pistol grip for cracks.

Yup, any FWB, unless someone chopped it up with an angle grinder and then left it on the seabed for a few years, is worth £120. Even broken for parts. Maybe more as parts, sadly.
If it's a Sport, and your 7/10 is my 7/10, it's either a good deal or a very good deal. Especially if it has the iron sights (worth £40-50 on their own).
Unless the breech lock-up is worn to the point that it strings vertically. That's a difficult, expensive fix. Also the breech seals can degrade over time. Meaning you are looking at factoring in service costs. Finally, check the pistol grip at its thinnest part for cracks. They happen fairly often, and, again, take time and/or money to fix.
There's an echo in here.

Thank you very much for all your comments. I will have a look at the parts you have pointed out. I don't often comment and this is the first time I have asked a question on hear. Have a great day all. Rog

Seems like a reasonable price to me, I paid more for my Mk2. Fantastic rifles, pity the new one isn't as good as the old ones.
