Webby1963 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Folk, I'm after a little help, I'm trying to ID and get a rough value for 3 air rifles I've had kicking around for years and am looking to sell. The first is a BSA Meteor Mk 3 or 4 I think, marking on the working parts is TG32155 (.22) The others are old .177 Ones got made in Hungary on it and the number 05 663 LG527 (to be honest it looks like it's worth about a tenner, at most!) Can't find any makers name or country on the other just a code CC29502 on teh working parts at the trigger end. Any ideas or any where that buys old air rifles in the Midlands area (I live in Bromsgrove) would be a great help. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchington Harris Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think Durrants in Worcester or maybe shooting supplies in Bromsgrove would buy them if they are in good condition, although they probably wouldn't give you top money for them, you would better of selling them on gunwatch, I have no idea what they are worth.

johnbaz Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sorry John, how you've really lost me, 'Direct' url box where? Hi Webby The pics in your photobucket will have four boxes to the right with the url's in (if it's the same as mine!!) I click on the second one down that says 'Direct' to copy the url and then paste it in to the reply in here by clicking on the box just below the smileys button at the top, it's a square box that looks like a small picture painting!!

johnbaz Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yep!! What he said! They were the predecessor to the |BSA Meteor (and a much better gun imo ) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby1963 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Any idea on a value, it's in decent condition with a well polished and looked after stock, and it's still the more powerful of the 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jega Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 This should give you a rough idea of its value mate, http://www.gunstar.co.uk/Air-Guns-for-sale?sstr=bsa%20cadet%20major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason they don't seem to command high prices, no idea why as they're smashing little guns Here's my Cadet.. The Cadet Major is a bit better gun than the ordinary Cadet as it has an adjustable rearsight and is a little longer too John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbaz Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 With the prefix CC, Your Cadet Major was made sometime between 1955-62 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jega Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Gunstar is famous for being overpriced i'm afraid Which is exactly why i said "rough idea". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
