Browning Airstar 200
I’ve been loaned one of these rifles by a friend who is looking to sell it. Not many have been made and definitely a marmite gun. Seems to be very well made and is a lot of fun to shoot. As satisfying as a springer without the effort.
Look up Browning Airstar on YouTube to see these quirky guns in action.
Seems the batteries are still available . I’ve charged it using the original Browning charger but haven’t had a long enough session to see how many shots I can get to a charge. Seems to be very accurate and I’m hoping to get some shots over the chronograph later this week if the weather improves to see how consistent and powerful it is.
I’m tempted to make an offer for this gun but have had problems finding out values. Any ideas?

Buy it, great fun. The batteries are standard model car types with the poles reversed.
Useless for hunting, but will make all your mates love you when you take it down the range.
Price depends entirely on condition, so pics would help you get a valuation.

Protek supplies had one a while ago, must say it didn't last long, can't remember what it sold for though.... Sorry

I’ve seen them offered over the years for anything from £350-450 or more depending on condition, working order, box, accessories.

I sold one in 2015 and can’t remember the price. I can remember Browning spent a fortune on the development but they never sold well, probably down to the noise of the cranking mechanism being enough to wake the dead. They were extremely well made, the breech was a work of art. Far too noisy for hunting but a great collectors item. I contacted Rutten just before I sold it and they still had availability of spare parts

There is a non electric version of this but I think it’s only available on The Continent... Underlever.
