Value For A Feinwerkbau Sport 127

[chrismdd 787]

Hi,

 

Thinking of putting my old (80's) Feinwerkbau Sport 127 (.22) up for sale to make way for some much needed funds. The gun works fine but would benefit from a strip-down as I can only remember once in the last 20 years that it has had a replacement spring and piston seal put in on two separate occasions.

 

It comes with a Nikko Stirling gold crown 4x40 wide angle scope (which I have always admired for clarity). There is also a basic ally silencer attached.

 

The gun was used mainly for hunting during the 80's and then used on and off since then for a bit of plinking and the odd pigeon on the veggy patch. It does have a number of related scratches on the stock and metalwork but all cosmetic. I think the stock is the deluxe version if that makes any difference.

 

So really want to know what should I put it up for if advertised locally? Is there a call for guns like this nowadays or is it mainly collectors?

Hi Chris,

I used the Feinwerkbau Sport 127 for years and years , 33 to be exact, for hunting . A lot of people think they were one of the best springers ever made.

Sadly I part exchanged mine for a HW 100 KTS .22. Sentimentality to one side the Feinwerkbau Sport is a wonderful gun but simply doesn`t live with the HW 100 series and their capabilities in the hunting field .

If your gun is just fair condition I would suggest £150 "ish", good condition £200 "ish", fine condition £250 - £300 from a collector.
