team tractor Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Evening boys and girls . My mate put this gun on my sgc around 4/5 years ago and I want it gone as it’s been abused to me . its a fabarm that’s gone rusty but his Dopey mate stripped the bluing . The bores are spotless like a mirror , the wood is free from splits and the ejectors work but to me it’s just **** . what’s it worth ? seriously 😂. I want it gone . is it scrap ?

Scully Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Looks like a Medalist to me if the engraving is anything to go by. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just realised you’d already said that. If those pics are anything to go by, then yes, it’s scrap unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Get a wire brush in a drill, knock the worst off, rough it up and get a can of matt black spray paint and do the barrels. Stick it on here on other trading sites for £50, it's a few beer tokens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Action could be tidied up quite easily, £100 to reblue the tubes then make a nice enough gun for a beginner, engraving is certainly very medalist looking so maybe Fabarm made some medalists?

mel b3 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 It's not too bad dude , I reckon with a new set of barrels , a new action , and new woodwork , it would make a good gun 😁. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 To be honest in that condition it is worth next to nothing , why bother to tart it up to make a few quid and risk any problems the new owner might find. If it was mine I would either give it away free of charge , or better still take it to your nearest police station and hand it in , all sorted and you can rest in peace like the handed in gun is going to .

Fellside Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Agree with the above ‘scrap it’ voters. Even if you kept it as a bad weather roughing about gun, you would be constantly battling against rust. Some guns just reach the end of their road.

Walker570 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I wonder if you could get some 410 tubes for it The outside could be tidied up and then mae a tidy knockabout vermin gun. Hate to see one scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don’t hand it in to the coppers; they go down as ‘surrendered’ firearms and are added to statistics as such, giving the false impression it was held illegally. It all bolsters HO statistics that there are still such things in circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
