Other Two for sale near me

[thom]

The local gun shop, that deals mostly in muzzleloaders and other vintage firearms, also gets in air guns occasionally. I have bought several there. Currently they have two I have handled and thought about, however I think they are a little high on the prices and will not negotiate. Both guns are in like-new condition. One is a Marksman model 55 break barrel and the other is a Benjamin multi pump, with wood stock & forearm. The price is $80 on the Marksman and $100 for the Benjamin. What do you all think?

That 55 is not a high price at all. Buy it. If you dont want to keep it feel free to message me afterwards.

Both sound like excellent deals to me.

The Marksman is one of those fascinating hybrid guns that happened after Weihrauch bought out the BSF factory. Very shootable, nicely collectible, and that price is basically theft for any good-quality, top-condition German springer.

My Benjy that Santa brought in 1968 still works perfectly...wot more can I say...

That's a decent deal on the 55, basically a shorter version of the model 70 which is similar to the original R10

Just was looking at these in an old Great Lakes Airgun catalog

Good to know. I believe I'll go back and get the model 55, maybe the Benjamin too.
The same shop has a Benjamin NP2 without scope, withopen sights I think, that is priced at $150. It is like new but I already have one, with a decent scope so I don't need it.

At those prices I’d be there when they open the door and get both, no question.

If their Both in working order, that's quite a good deal.

I went and looked again. The shop owner told me they both have issues. I passed.

That's good you found out. Two nice guns in working condition.

Someone wanted to know the location of the gun shop, since I passed on the two. The shop is a father & son operation that operates on cash only. They do not take cards or checks, so no mailing or shipping. The only way to shop there would be to drive to western NC. I do not know what exactly the issues with the conditions of the guns are. The last visit to the shop I talked to the father. The son is the only one that handles the air guns and the father did not know except there are issues. Neither father or son are very interested in air guns, their interest being in antique firearms.

Are they at Finklesteins?

Just country boys a little behind the times. They sell a lot of vintage and antique firearms and related supplies and have a steady repair business so they see no need to change.

I would be posting pictures of them, not talking about them if it were me.

I$$ues, put them in my price range.

 

[thom]

I have enough guns that need fixing, don't need more like 'em.

 

[Septicdeath]

I'd buy them both. No questions asked.
