I saw a Gun this morning,,,

#1 Post by barney57 »

Not quite sure what it is,,,,I think its of .22rf calibre and in what I think is a Martini Action, complete with barrel cleaning rod in the stock,,,its an old gun not very long and quite light,,cant see any name or numbers on it,, as it needs a good clean up all round,,,other than that I believe it to be in quite good nick and probably still fireable,,,,it look s like a minaturised version of the type of rifle used in the ZULU WARS,,,,,WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS OR COULD BE,,,AND PERHAPS A GUESTIMATED VALUATION?

Any Ideas????

First thoughts - B.S.A. model 12/15

Millions of them about and used to sell in the auctions if you could get a sale for about £5. Last few years they have gone up in price a fair bit but still not valuable normally.
