Hi All,
Well I am feeling a little bit down after this afternoons little jaunt, then getting worked up with Adam over the ruination of the best 200 yard range at Bisley.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:">;
The on;ly saving grace was that i also got to look at a really beautiful BSA Mk5 International:D; , and I do mean beautiful<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek">; in fact although it's over priced<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":">; I have never seen one in a condition like this, it was virtually flawless like new, deep bluing unspoilt woodwork, complete with handstop and sights and about the prices that are asked in the US for lesser models I think you will find.
Price being asked, it's a commision sale so the owner has set the price which even the shop says is a bit high even considering the condition. price is £250 ($437:50 US) I was sorely tempted I can tell you but it's over priced, Oh did I say that?
So I am sitting here with a nice glass of barcadi and coke , iced of course and trying not to think of buying more guns<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":">;
It's not working of course, I am even thinking of moving on a couple, what with the prices of powder here I doubt I can afford to shoot them<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">; Now another .22R/F would be cheap to feed<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p">;
Told you they were fairly common, not quite in this condition though and not usually at that price. I know of another quite local which is £125 and I thought that a bit steep and No I have not examined that one either YET!;)
<p>Best Regards. KP
Don't let the bastards grind you down!
