Used gun

[patton123]

Went and looked at a used  Walther lever action tonight. A guy had it up for sale in my neighborhood. He was asking $ 275  w/ scope and case. It was in really good shape.

First I lowballed him w/ $ 100  bid..... hehe. He said the gun cost him $ 450. I pointed out PA offered them for$ 335 after the discount.  I then offered him $ 150, he countered me w/ $ 175, and he wouldn't come down.

When I shot the gun I felt air hit my hand while holding the forearm. I thought there may have been a leak of some sort. Does anyone have any experience w/ the lever action guns?

Is it worth 175 ?

Thanks

I have one and it seems a fair price for it with a mount and scope too:) . I have not noticed  air coming out on forearm.. I will check it tonight when I get home you have me curious now? there is some air comes out near the breach more noise than air tho. Mine is a fun gun and incredibly accurate, choked LW barrel helps alot I think they are a quality made gun and feel good to shoot. One trick is Wadcutters work best by far and I use a Phillips bit to seat them in the magazine all the same depth. The magazines fit multiple guns and  are some type of alloy which IMO is a silly choice of material because the little drive lugs wear off and I have to buy new ones,  they are only 14$ for 3 at PA so no big deal I guess!

Hello Eric,

In the Blue Book of AirGuns 7th. Edition, This air rifle shows:

At 100% - $350., 95% - $285., 90% - $225., no values below 90% are listed.

You didn't mention the make of the scope, it looks as if it might be a Leupold with the Gold Ring? Add the value of the scope and mount to your offer.

It sounds like a good deal to me, if that's not a leak, and even then, not a bad deal !

I hope this helps you !

Ask on the Crosman forum. Is the forearm where the cartridge goes?

Thanks for replying guys.

 Bill, no it's a Walther scope, they offer it with the rifle.

 Refeather,  yes,  it's right where the mag comes out on the side.

It was fun to shoot.  I just might buy it...gotta love this hobby.

Thanks again
