I was happy to pick this up the other day! The gun shop thought it had been docked, but no…it’s a factory 20”

short rifle with a good shiny bore, for the bargain price of $504!
What would this be worth in the US?
Cheers Mal

I am not educated in the current values, but I am sure you got a steal at that price. That is absolutely a neat 92! RDB

Hello Mal,

Nice rifle and a hell of a bargain for $500!! Here in the States it would most likely sell closer to $1800 or so. Maybe higher if a couple guys were fighting over it. can I get the serial number so that I can enter it into my survey? And a photo of the tang stamp and barrel address also please?

Thanks

$1,800? I’ll buy all I can get for $1,800. Especially a nice one like the original posters. Short bbl. with button mag? Big Larry

I am with Big Larry 1000%…. at 1800 I don’t think I could get the money out of my pocket fast enough…… so for 500 I think it’s a great deal
