Minimi124246 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 So quite a while ago I was given an air pistol by a colleague of mine, he found it whilst clearing his dads house out. Its an Umarex M92 fully traded, cased up and in an 'ok' condition. It's non blowback and fires pellets. I'll be honest and say its really not my cup of tea for several reasons. It's certainly not new and the front sight is wobbly etc. I know its really not worth anything, so I was just wondering what to do with it? I don't fancy setting up a gunstar/guntrader account just to sell a single air pistol for probably £25 at best, and by time shipping has been considered IF it sells, it seems like hassle for no reward. I'm not a fan of the M92 platform so no good as a wall hanger etc. If anyone has any ideas on getting it out of the way it would be much appreciated, don't have much experience with this kind of thing and don't want to fall foul of any laws.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 You might be surprised at it's value. I had one of these about 20 years ago and the same model sells for £300 now. Even if it's a bit banged up, I would hope it's worth more than £25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnakey Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Umarex boys club forum? What's the finish/grip material? Can give you an approx value to ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super64 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Zeroin has an “other gun types” section where people can list anything not airsoft, air guns, deacs, etc. May be worth a try. A lot of the members on here are also members there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a scout about the Umarex boys club forum. 1 hour ago, Super64 said: Zeroin has an “other gun types” section where people can list anything not airsoft, air guns, deacs, etc. May be worth a try.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Those are £200 new so worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitmanNo2 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Yup. You can see the shut line in the slide where the slide and barrel assembly slide forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnakey Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 They definitely aren't £200 new, I can have one on my doorstep for £160. That's an early one with the older shiny finish and worth a little more than a modern one, probably around £120 or so used. Weirdly that's in the wrong box, if you have the compensator and optional sights it may have come with as separate accessories that's another £100.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Ah. I only looked at Surplus Store. I figured there would be fixed retail price situation going on. Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimi124246 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 No, there’s no compensator or extra sights, but now that you mention it there is a cut out in the foam of the case 🤷🏼♂️. Yep 8 shot rotary confirmed. Well, with any luck there will be someone somewhere that wants it to get it off my hands and out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnakey Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Being a competition it would have originally had the compensator on like this one, probably sold on at an earlier date but they're getting very hard to find now, may be worth asking the chap if he found any bits!

Enid_Puceflange Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Shit i had one of those 92’s ages ago, sold it for buttons 🤦🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamal Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I had one as well. Powered by co2. They became the next best thing after the gun ban. We used them at gun club for police pistol comps. You are right.the competition models had the compensator and longer barrel. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 That one is the top dollar, Chrome, Compensator/weight and Wood Grips that would be worth a fe pennies. As for the OP's gun definitely worth a few quid. As a rule never throw a gun broken or otherwise away, its always worth something to some one and it keeps one more runout there, much to th politicians annoyance.

It's one I'd never sell, limited run of 5 with engraving to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the UBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimi124246 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thanks all for your input. Interesting to see the history of them, mad to think they hark back to 96-97ish if they were popular after the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
