Scorpion

[lcardinal]

Hi just picked up a BSA Scorpion pistol in .22 cal.It shoots and works great other than missing the rear sight.What are they worth and is there any interest on this board in buying it. Thanks

you can buy one new for $699 from Tactical Imports so yours is worth considerably less.

A NOS complete rear sight assembly for your Scorpion pistol is worth around $60.00.
If your intent is to sell the gun anyway, just sell it "as-is" and let the new owner decide if he wishes to scope it, or replace the rear sight.
Worth anywhere from $125 to $250 depending on condition, accessories, original box, etc.

You are probably making reference to the Scorpion PCP rifle at that price.
The OP is inquiring about the much older, break barrel, spring-piston, air pistol.

This is a MK 2 made in England all the seals seem to be good as it shoots with authority,the cocking mechanism is tight.The back site was removed due to scope mount as the scope slots are missing some blue.

John Knibbs in the UK bought all the remaining BSA parts when he worked there and retired.He ships to Canada and there's Chambers gun Parts as well in the UK....most have had broken sights over the years as they are clumsy and poorly balanced...tending to be dropped on the rear sight which is plastic....Harold
