ttt. - Today’s Top Tip If something doesn’t sell reasonably quickly it’s usually because the price isn’t correct. HTH rutty

Not that one, but similar visual gauges have been available for about 50 years at least. They work but in the end it’s the plug gauge that counts. Seems a lot to spend on something that just helps estimate a few close shots. Rutty

They don’t come up very often, but there was a recent post on the AirgunBBS about a K22 Rutty

Mark, As has already been pointed out to you: There are sound reasons for that policy not least of which is to protect the seller's interests. You could start by looking on Guntrader and Egun and should be able to get some idea from there. There are also other UK shooting forae that have Sales and Wants sections. You will find a wide variation of prices from the suspicious to the fanciful, but it's up to you to set an asking price. Rutty

Rifle Now Sold On behalf of a fellow club member. Anschutz 1913 Supermatch right handed, as illustrated in the photos below. The rifle is approximately 30 years old, has cosmetic marks to the woodwork and comes with the fittings and accessories shown. Located in Leicestershire, open to offers with a guide price of £500.00 for the rifle + carriage and transfer costs if applicable. Prospective purchasers should contact me by Private Message along with their contact details and any questions. I shall pass their enquiry to the seller who will respond directly.

The trite and unhelpful answer would be, whatever anyone is willing to pay. The more honest response is that I haven’t a clue. It seems a difficult time to sell this kind of item. Having had a couple of conversations lately with people interested in vintage and historic arms both told me that they just couldn’t find buyers for rifles and accessories that a few years ago would have sold easily. It does appear that the market has declined in a similar way to that of lot of the small antiques and collectibles. A good example is Goss Crested China, the link gives a good account of what has happened. Looking for similar items on Ebay usually turns up a wide range of prices, take a look at these for The Bell Medal; 56,000 of them struck! A collector is unlikely to pay more than £5.00 inc postage, maybe £10.00 if there’s something special about it. That doesn’t stop the speculative asking prices. Coming back to your sight sets, they’re not really in demand and they do appear quite frequently. Try a set at £50.00 and if they don’t sell try a couple of months later at £25.00. If they go put the next set on at £35.00. You could however ask £40.00 for the pair, I would have thought they might go for that. It’s a bit of guessing game, hope this gives some food for thought. Rutty

If it doesn’t sell on this board, have you thought about trying www.airgunbbs.com ?

Sportsman Gun Centre are showing them as available with delivery by the end of the month. Rutty

That’s fine Guy, just let me know. Rutty

Hello Guy, I know Gasman well; we are in the same club; he doesn't frequent the board much if at all. I do know that he sold his SCATT, however it just so happens that I have a similar one available. It's SCATT USB in its original box and is complete with original CD and cables etc. I've just plugged it in and it worked first time. I used to run it on an old laptop under XP so it might benefit from a software and\or firmware update. Both downloadable from the SCATT website. It can be yours for £350 + carriage. Rutty

Hmm…. Let me Google that for you😁 HTH Rutty

It is customary to include the price and method of payment. Rutty

Victoria, I must point out that on this forum it is customary to include a price for the item you are selling. Rutty

Just in case anyone is interested, I have available a selection of copies of The Rifleman. They are not complete runs just a few copies that are duplicates of my collection. They are in two lots 1949-1967 and a smaller lot 1950-1967. Free to good home postage only or collect from Melton Mowbray. Rutty

Thanks for sharing this Morty. Anyone who doesn’t already know should note carefully “PayPal friends and family”. It’s what it says it is and there is absolutely no reason to use it for an above board transaction. Yes there is a transaction charge if you use a payment option but it also provides some protection, although not necessarily a lot. If there is anything the slightest odd or unusual about the payment method the walk away unless you can authenticate the seller by some means. Rutty

Hello Racingt, we are currently reviewing our club firearms holding and it is possible that we might have something of interest to you available. As soon as the review is complete, if there is anything that might suit, I’ll contact you with details and photos.. Rutty

What you need is one of these: Correx 500g Force Gauge Rutty

It does depend a bit on body shape to get the best fit, but for my money just go for the Kurt Thune. They're worth it. I had a Mouche before, but found the KT much better. Rutty

Bear in mind John that under a Pony Club Rules she would be permitted to have the assistance of a loader. This would mitigate the cocking issue. Many FAS 604s haven’t been used for years and as a result need the seals replacing. It’s not a big job and worth doing. Rutty

Try PM’ing John Marchant as he is a pistol coach and could probably provide advice. My three h’aporth Is that you would need something with a short trigger reach and the only pistol I can think of that fulfils that requirement is the FAS 604. Rutty

Some time ago another forum member very kindly let me have a large quantity of The Rifleman from the 1950s-60s. I have gone through and and found a number of duplicate copies in these and my existing collection and therefore offer them to anyone interested. I have divided them into 2 lots and they are available for collection in the East Midlands or pick up from Bisley by arrangement: Lot 1 1949 September 1950 March September December 1951 March June 1952 September 1953 June 1955 September 1956 March June 1957 March June December 1958 June 1966 December 1967 June December Lot 2 1950 March September 1951 March 1958 June 1967 June Rutty
