BSA Model 12

[desperation]

Looking at getting one but wondering what price tag I should be expecting. I know one is coming available from and estate and not sure what a fair price would be. I haven't had the opportunity to view it yet so an upper, mid and high end condition price would be appreciated. Thanks

If you can pick it up for $600 or less you did O.K.

I think you can buy them for 375 to 450$ in average condition....maybe a bit more if they have real good quality peep sights on them.

It's all about condition... These days, they'll fetch anywhere between $125 to $600

Things to check,
- Frost in barrel? (don't worry about a Parker re-lined, they always did an excellent job!)
- Is it a take down?
- Did someone thinker with the trigger? (Replacement parts can be a pain to locate...)
- Peep-sights?
- Ejector working properly? (It should send the empty's flying 15' from the shooter... I'm not kidding!)

Probably the best source of information for Martini rimfire's is: http://www.rifleman.org.uk/Site_Menu.htm
