bruno22rf Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 After my MK3 started getting a bit heavy for me I decided to sell her on to a new home. Asking £450 (gun was virtually mint) the price was at least £100 less than any other MK3 for sale and, despite her being a left hooker, I expected a fast sale. To my surprise only 2 enquiries arose from my ads. and with the first guy dithering then not contacting me the gun finally sold for a lowly £350 to a buyer who simply wanted to strip her for parts What a crying shame for such a superb piece of engineering-gonna miss her.

johnbaz Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Hi I'm on number 119 after I bought a gun yesterday and won one in a raffle!! EDIT- Forgot to say, it's an Air Arms SE90 I paid £165 for this beauty, I was after one just before christmas but was beaten to it- that one was £250 :o This was the one I won!! Trigon (Never heard of them!) It's a solid little gun that needs a bit of a debur here and there but will be OK I reckon!! It has a resettable trigger and some power in the mainspring when cocking!! (Not tried it yet!).. Cheers, John Edited August 3, 2014 by johnbaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 What a shame for a Mk 3 to go for spares. I have a Mk 4 which is a bit heavy for me with a scope on top, so I have a Cobra strap to carry it and a Primos tripod for shooting it.

You have her away for that price bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Would have been nice to keep her but with 4 other Airguns,5 Shotguns and a R/F rifle my cabinet is busting at the seams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
