I have a chance to buy an FWB 65 MK II in excellent condition but the receiver has been drilled and tapped by Beeman for a scope mount. It comes with an extra grip and the grip on it is a nice adjustable target grip. Also included is a new spring and reseal kit. Anybody know what a value on such a pistol would be. I have a Blue Book and know what it says but want more real world numbers if possible. No box or papers included either.
I didn't pay much attention to them at Roanoke. I guess I sould have. I saw this one today at a local gun show and it is priced at $525. I think I will leave it alone. It is nice though and the extra seal kit is a nice bonus but still a little over priced.
If there were any at Roanoke for $275-300 I sure did'nt see them. I traded for a 65 and a 80 at Roanoke that I had $900 in trade value and sold them when I got home for more, well one had to be resealed.
I sold a short barreled version for $250.00 with adjustable grips in good condition.

I made a profit on it to. At the Maryland gun show a fellow walked in the door with it and ask if I wanted it. I said I could not afford it and he said he had a good price as his eyes would not allow him to use open sights. I payed $200.00 and was satisfied with what I received for it. It depends on where you are with what deals you can get. I have talked to more than one airgunner that obtained a Crosman 600 for $15.00 in the box at firearms shows in fact I purchased one for that price once. Around $450.00 is not uncommon for FWB 65's. I found an FWS 65 at the Roanoke show some years ago for $150.00 in the box in VG condition that I had Pilkington reseal.
