Hi, i want to sell these, but have no idea what price i should be looking at?

i have a bsa martini international mk5 (i think) it was the first rifle i ever shot. seems a shame to get rid, but i'm never going to use it as a .22 target rifle. it was given to me, it has had a repair to the stock by the rear of the reciever block. it was also shortened for a petite lady shooter, then lengthened again later. original sights.

so what is it worth? or what else can i do with it?





(crude spacers from grey pvc i used to lengthen stock a bit, above rifle)









ok, next up, i bought this but have since decided i would prefer a pair of 1873's. it is an uberti 1858 in 44





and finally, my original cabinet, got this when i first started, but had to upgrade, and kept this as a spare, but now i need an upgrade again. 3 gun cabinet with two locks that use same key. 2 keys. HxWxD 1350x200x200. foam base

£50 - £80 for the Beeza, £200 for the Uberti and bugger-all for the cabinet as I don't think it would pass muster these days

You'd get more for the BSA; maybe £150 (more if it had the stock in original condition) - If that's not enough to part with it, then they can be great scoped...for bench rest, mini-McQueen or Long Range .22.

With Dougan on the BSA prices

Cabinet - stick some shelves in it & use for ammo - bang on!!

i had thought about it! but i need the space to squeeze in another, bigger cabinet. although i could stick this in a different room i suppose. but wanted to offset price of new cabinet against this old one

I paid £125 for a similar Martini two years ago, got it from a fellow shooter at my indoor club.

Yes, I paid the same last week for a 12/15. I've seen Martini's going for as much as £250, so it all depends whether you can find somebody who really wants one or not. The beauty about the one that you have, Brad, is that it will be easy to mount a scope bracket to it if required, which is impossible on some models (like the 12/15 !!)

The cabinet is probably only worth £ 15 - 20, so it probably isn't going to offset much against a new cabinet. :lol:

You must be joking. We have loads of BSA's at the club and we can't give them away.
Most go for @£25 and they are in very good order

No, totally serious.
