Hi Kees,

Sorry I am an Airsporter fan and don't know much about the Merlin, I too saw one recently advertised and because it was a BSA and because it was an underlever, I was immediateley interested!
I did some research on the internet, seems there were a lot of mixed views on the quality and reliability of these rifles.
They are supposed to be very small in size which suits them to smaller shooters!
Their relative rareity factor bumps up the price that people ask for them so you probably would be better off looking for a decent early Airsporter or similar!

Hope this is of some help!
