[Closed] Where to sell an air rifle?

Guntree

Stealth ad on stw

Guntrader, although you would get kudos points for handing it over wrapped in a blanket in a pub car park

I can see why you want to sell it - you could buy a new bike for that!

Airgunforum or BBS. There are groups on mewee too but the former are a better field.

Just be aware that postage is insured at £100 only with Parcelforce 48 or £500 if you can meet the Royal Mail Special Delivery size restrictions (nobody else can/will carry them for Joe public) and liable to destruction if they realise its a PCP they are carrying. Otherwise you can arrange transfer through an RFD who will charge and then the buyer will get charged for pickup at the other end. Oh and PayPal don't offer protection on firearms sales (or even allow them IIRC) so paying via bank transfer or PP Gift is the norm.

I've posted before and 99% get through fine however there have been cases where they have been seized and destroyed (usually when sent by air and they've been scanned) or left for the sender to pick up from wherever they have ended up. Not trying to put the frighteners on you, just sending you in with your eyes open. Same rules as air shocks.

Airguns ok for gumtree? Its ebay so thats a no surely?

Cheers SK

Cracking rifle, I only sold mine to raise money for a rim fire. Try https://forum.stirton.com/ or https://www.full-bore.co.uk/ not sure if either have a min post count before you can advertise though.

Gunstar is about £7 for an ad, Guntrader 99p.

That's a very cool looking air rifle but I never realised they could cost so much!

Yes they can, and ive never even shot it :'(

Airgun BBS is the best but I think you have to post a minimum number of times before you gain access to the classified section.

Why have you spent all that dosh on a top PCP and never shot it?

That was my next question!

I'd imagine lockdown may have a hand to play in this. Hope not though.

Stacks of kids lurking about at the moment. Flog it to them.

Not many kids with £950 smackeroos.

I bought it, had to move, and with it went permission to shoot

Melt it down #OneLessGun

Surely you could just use it at a club. I mean, it's not FAC. Is it???

Also got a Theoben, never got round to getting all the PCP paraphenalia, so she going.

"Melt it down #OneLessGun"

Which would be worse for the world.

Gunstar for selling , or Gun Trader.

Where are you based ?

Theoben what?

Taunus. Got it brand new in about 95, Simmons Whitetail Classic 50mm. It was top of the line kit back in the day.

"I bought it [a gun], had to move..."

This, tell us more.

Whitetail Classic with that non-reflective, crinkle finish. Superb.

I had a similar set up about that time: A Theoben Fenman topped with a Whitetail Classic 3.5-10x40.
Bagged loads of bunnies, woodies, greys and magpies with that combo.

I'm itching to get on the range with my Steyr LP2...

Thats the one, black granite its called if memory serves. That or the Tasco 3-9x50 AO were the go to offerings. John Darling had a lot to answer for. That scope was £220 back in the day.
But Richard North won the fight and got my money.

I lived on a country estate. They decided to holiday let all the big houses and after 30 years I just got a "see ya" letter. Kinda blew the shooting wind out of my sails.

Not making much on holiday lets at the moment??

Its not been renovated yet, someone knicked all the lead, twice. Now they have to have a security guard on 24/7.

Now they have to have a security guard on 24/7.

Maybe offer to do the security with your gun?

@wysiwyg

That is a double shitter. I feel for you.

I remember JD's huntin combo (before he went PCP) was a Venomised HW80 with an Optima Moonlighter 3-9x50 scope.

Then he took up with a Rapid 7.

I liked his articles in AGW.

I went into Target Sports in Bolton one day back in the 90's and the owner said "Richard North' upstairs." I looked over my glasses and said "in that case, I'll stay down here." He was a dick.

for any retro interested parties NSFW. To this day I cant go "out" without thinking about the dichotomy quote from that video. And I bet its 15 years since i watched it.

I was a proper young rifle nerd.

Ive bought & sold loads through Airgunforum.co.uk
Not sold on the HW100 Bullpup and that's from someone with 7 Weihrauch's including a HW110 0.22 rifle and a HW100K 0.177

Bummer loosing your permission, I lost one on a farm last year when they built a load of houses nearby 🙁 farmer is right pissed off to as the rabbits & rats are getting a right pest.

Also got a Theoben, never got round to getting all the PCP paraphenalia, so she going.

The stirrup pumps you can get on ebay for 30 quid are actually quite good and well made. I am using one with my HW100KT - I got it as a stop gap until i got a bottle etc, but have decided there is no point. Couple of minutes pumping and she's all good (as the actress said to the bishop).

I hope MrOvershoot has got a large, non-ricocheting backstop !

Oh yes and a 50 meter indoor range with 600mm concrete ends 😀

I have a Webley Tri and it's a bugger to fill the 13ci bottle on the missus's Ratcatcher. Probably fine for smaller tanks but ended up with a bottle anyway.

That's a shitter though, I can see why you would feel the way you do. I'd say hit the forums and see what's round you, you may get lucky. And I wouldn't part with that Theoben, I see the logic in the HW going but never let go of a good self contained setup.

That HW does look nice though, night and day to a goppin Galahad!
