..... We know you're more of a night owl mate - your 2am posts are legendary

 

Since trying a couple of Supertens and now this, I am starting to really like these older rifles - they just seem so uncomplicated and less fussy

I'd expect that fn12 is mid 1990,s john bowket designed the valve. Falcon is British and where out before the brocock. Ahead of their time back then mine where mega reliable and went years without even a seal change.

 

 

 

Looks a cracking little rifle, and I'm not that keen on skeleton stocks lol.

Forgive my ignorance here, but is falcon a british make, and were they out before brocock, as that looks very similar to the contour?

Cheers Shaaark

 

Toms answered better than I could have mate.

 

I don't usually go for skeleton stocks either but, now that I've held this, I can see the attraction - it's going to be a piece of piss to carry round all day

That's more info than I had before mate

 

I asked about the age of it on another forum but, I was told that Falcon never kept records and, the seial number doesn't give any kind of date.

 

Mid 90s will do me though - right around the time I left school so, this will be roughly 22yrs old, give or take a bit.

 

I also never knew that John Bowket had a hand in it.

Cheers Si

 

To be honest mate, I've seen pictures of them before and they've not done anything for me - it was handling it and shouldering it that sold it

 

I was surprised when I dug them pellets out for a look.

 

..... I just need to learn how to use a .22 properly now

You've got plenty of sections already.

I really am - I've very rarely ever dug out pellets to find them stacked like that before
