Yup, noticed it was working again earlier this week funnily enough!
Thanks 

MEC handstop now sold. Slight price drop on Grunig handstop (which can indeed be reversed for left handed shooters).

Don't forget the value of all the accessories though.

You might wish to approach it a little differently. What would it be worth in its original stock and does the owner still have that stock? Now, what is the premium for the Ultra stock and what would that stock fetch if sold separately?
 
I have a feeling that barrel and action in original stock + Ultra sold separately might yield a bit more.

That seems high, unless the barrel is in very good condition, as the Ultra latterly went for £900 new. My '79 vintage 1613 looked immaculate when I retired in in 2010, but it wouldn't consistently hold the 10-ring at 100 yards.

In my humble opinion its worth £1200 all day long 1000 for quick sale

Well, in for a penny.
 
I'd say an 1813 barrel would be worth less than a 2013 in similar condition. Firstly any 2013 will be younger than any 1813; the 2013 was introduced in about 1991, whereas the 1813 was replaced in 1987, and production started in 1980. In this case the seller may well be the original owner, and knows the full history, but when a rifle is sold 3rd or 4th hand and there is no provenance, it's not unreasonable to assume an older barrel has a higher "mileage". Even if the rifle is shooting well now, higher mileage means it may loose accuracy sooner. Secondly the 2013 has always been more expensive than Match 54 rifles, which should carry over the second hand prices.
 
The rifle in the photos does look very clean and tidy.

I'd go with James, as it says:
 
"It has been brought to my attention that is probably not best etiquette to ask for/solicit price advice, and then try and sell it here."
 
So if you are not selling it on here, then just asking for advice on valuation for use elsewhere seems perfectly kosher..
 
Very nice looking rifle by the way - £1000 really doesn't sound unfair.

I'd always assumed the issue was with soliciting a value and then selling on here Tim, obviously because of the potential for arguments, etc...
 
My brother bought a similar rifle (same stock, handstop, foresight and buttplate but with a 2013 barrel and action and Hammerli rearsight) for £1000. That was an exceptionally good deal though, so I'd say somewhere in the region of £1000 doesn't sound unfair. It does depend on the level of usage of the barrel and the condition it's been kept in though.

I had read the rules before posting but thought it would be OK as it specifically mentions asking for a valuation when the intention is to sell something on this forum, which is not the case here. Maybe I just interpreted them wrong, sorry!
 
Thanks for the info eitherway.
