My free No.4 MK1

[Assyrian]

What do you think? Thoughts?

Besides being *refreshed*. Can someone give me an idea about it's worth??

 

[glang1]

Worth $80 to $100 in current condition. May get more if you find someone willing to pay more.

Check the EE. Been a couple sold lately in the $75 -100 range. One of the $75 ones had two clips,one of the $100 was the price including shipping.

kewl...

Think I'll find a synthetic stock for it
Can someone tell me whats up with the front sight? It looks ...###

Its a commercially sported job, done in the UK, likely by PH. That's why the receiver ring is drilled and tapped, the barrel cut, and the ramp front sight installed. Rather than getting synthetic stocks - these will be injection moulded tupperware - look for a sporting buttstock. The difference in handling with a higher comb and real pistol grip is remarkable. If the bore is decent, this should be a perfectly good hunting rifle.

Yup, agreed. Cut barrel = deer rifle! Put a scope on this one and get some 8 points

Go for the synthetic and a 5 round mag, they look great. Here is a pic of one of mine with a Burris scope 1.5 - 6. shoots great and looks good. I chopped the front sight off, it was a free gun and scope and nothing to lose.

fairly standard gunsmith quality chop job, not a bubba hacksaw.

value, $125 you might get, I'll go as high as $75 but I'm a cheap bastard

any other markings on the top of the barrel ?

Oh and I think it's a Maltby, strange serial number BK18

 

[heavyBullet]

Looks like the one I have. Quite accurate, and mine shot quite a few deer back years ago. Glad you ask the value question, I was wondering the same for mine. Mine might now go up for $75 also.

I've been looking for one of those to turn into that, infact consider me offically wanting one.

BK 18*** I took out the last 3 digits.

This is also stamped on the barrel.
*BB*

I wonder if this is solid Gold. LOL

 

[JacquesT]

To BB or to LB

BB or LB...long Branch??

I agree with the suggestion of getting a monte carlo style butt stock...it comlpetely change the feel,,, I am wondering why they were not equipped with a better butt stock in the first place as Mil rifle!?

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

My years of milsurp obervation tell me it's a rare Maltby BB Gun. Worth about a trillion bucks.

Good score!

Your rifle looks like it would make a fine bush gun.

The fiberglass stock isn't a bad idea, but I wouldn't put a scope on it.

The peep sights are great on those rifles and you have the option of fast reloads with stripper clips.
