bruno22rf Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 These were great guns and there,s stil loads of them going strong.Price seems to depend 99% on condition-i,ve seen them on this site for £50 and elsewhere for less but some of the better ones are around the £120+ mark in dealers.Both sights need to be present and correct-the front sight has a built in bead from memory but no protection and many were broken off and then filed to a point.

Dekers Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I believe the Cadet Major has an adjustable rear sight, which makes it more sought after than the Cadet. Whatever, I sold one that used to be my Dads to a dealer around 5 years ago, for CASH. I got £90 and it was not in great condition. Who knows what they are worth today, they are certainly a bit of a classic, this was in .177 (I don't even know it they did a .22 version), and mine was nowhere near 12ft lb!
