  Suggest you take it to the "Classifieds" section...then do the proper reminder about FFL etc.

   That is a desireable rifle, and if the price is fair, you should have no problem moving it ...
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

I saw a gun similar to this today at a gun show here in Wisconsin.  What is an expected price range for this type of gun in good condition?

Depending on condition and originality, $275-$450 is the usual going rate, although some have paid considerably more. Yes, they were made in small quantities but there are sources that sell them routinely. John Appleton, Thad Scott, Bob Adams and MT Guns have a wide selection.

Sorry but I just have to smile at the prices in the US. Price for a very good 12-15 varies from £25-£75 ($45-$135 US) the Internationals range from about £75-£150 ($135- $270 US)

    Oh and the sights were made by Parker-Hale on the 12-15 model a PH7A on the rear and FS22 on the front. I actually contacted a US dealer of these to ask why the sky high prices knowing what they cost here all he said was he would take as many of them under $100 that I could find. Howeve the prices in the US would not alter. As I do not like rip off merchants, ok everyone has to make a profit, but excessive profits?????? the BSA and Vickers I had at the time for sale I sold to a dealer here in the UK. I paid £40 ($72 US) for the pair of them originally for a friend in the US who could not sort out the importation due to moving states and moving around for work  ???. They were not on my licence and the dealer got fed up storing them so they had to go.









    This one has a slightly heavier Bull Barrel. The muzzle diameter is 7/8"
