Farco 180 air shotgun

[DanielG]

I have a farco model 180 28g shotgun with brass shells CO2 bottle and shot tool. What's something like that worth?

Saw one auction in January in about 85% for $420. Pretty high I think. They're crude. IDK Bidding war I guess

 

[DanielG]

Yeah they are pretty rare in the states. I've never seen one with such a low model number.

Because your's is a nice set, if it doesn't leak it's probably worth somewhere between $300 and $500.

Pretty potent when fired with lead balls. Was Air Rifle Specialist the only importer?

 

[DanielG]

No leaks and it shoots hard. Only shot it a handful of times. The ball does hit hard!!! I had good luck with #6 shot as well.

 

[DanielG]

I'm not sure but from my understanding they only let 500 into the united states. I also have the farco .22 foot pump pellet gun.

Did you sell?

The first big bore in the U.S. One of the long gone U..S. Airgun magazines had a story on it. It was also the cover art of that issue. Licked my chops many an eyeballing session over it. Have all ways been a 28ga fan. IIRC Ron (AirNGasman) had early experience with one of these.
