Any chance of a few photo's of this? I should think thank it would fetch between £100-£150.00 on here. Prices seem to have dipped lately-for obvious reasons.
I have always fancied an Airsporter S....
Never go off half cocked....

These are quite rare and value-wise on a par with the Mercury-S .177 (although the Mercury-S was the cheaper of the two when new). This in mind then, for your ref, I have sold a vgc Mercury-S in .177 for £185 plus post, and a mint/boxed example with all the boxed bits for £250 plus post. Difficult to value yours effectively without photos however but the above shows the price range you should possibly be operating in (minus maybe 20% due to the current economic climate ). Hope this helps. Atb: Gareth W-B.

Just had a peak at your photo album
My God-you have a museum there mate The Airsporter special with the longer stock-does it shoot anywhere near as good as it looks?

It shoots very nice, although hasn't been used for many years, was well lubricated before being put away

Hi Ken cheers for the photo. What you have there is a second series Airsporter-S. The difference between the first and second series is that the first series had an open stock end in front of the cocking lever as on the standard MkI through to the MkVI Airsporter, whereas the series II Airsporter-S (like yours) has the rounded closed end type of stock as is associated with the MkVII and later RB-2 Airsporter variants . So returning to value, even given the tightening of the purse strings we are all seeing of late, I for one would still expect to pay around £175 plus post for just such a rifle in .177 (£140-ish if in .22). Once again, hope this helps . Atb: Gareth W-B.

The Mark I Airsporter S (first series), GM prefix, does have a closed end to the stock, just above the underlever catch. It is not the same design as standard models Mk V and earlier. It is also different to the Mark II Airsporter S, GP prefix, which has a more substantial closed end with a push button operation of the underlever like the Mark VII Airsporter.
