lol so you reacon its a bargain then

 

Yes mate, at that price the condition dont matter that much as you could have it totally servied and still have a cheap gun. Things to look out for are;

 

check barrel isnt twisted or bent

check screws in stock arent worn, if they are check power as it may have been tweaked

check barrel crown is not scored or chipped

 

if the bolt is still sticking after greasing then they are still available to buy, i think, from falcon about 12 quid last time i bought one.

 

And, seriously, if you dont want it then please let me know because i do!

Falcon fn19-sb with a custom stock by the looks

if i said that the bloke has offered this to me for 100 quid with what he calls a bottle of air and tube thing (lol) do you think its worth it ok we dont know if the bottle is in test but what do you think cheers mal

 

Take his hand off mate, if it shoots well bonus, if its old, which I expect it is, sell it on at a profit on a specialist airgun site and buy a decent PCP

Don't know but it looks like a Titan, predecessor of the Falcon!!!

 

Try asking the guys here...

Cheers lads for you're input

i still have not decided wether or not to buy this i have tryed it out and it shoots but the air is low on it i think.

The first few shots went straight though a half inch fencing board but after that it started to lose power rapidly as i dont know how much air was in it i cannot really judge it

Im a little concerned that either the scope is not much cop or maybe its got a bent barrel as the scope was maxed out on elevation and was still shooting two inches low at about 15 yards.

i noticed the the scope mount at the front was shimmed up so i removed it and it still was shooting a little low so i shimmed the rear scope ring and it was shooting a bit better at least i could back the elevation off some what but then the power dropped off and as i dont have any filling gear as yet ill have to wait till the lad brings the bottle round and try again

ill keep you posted on any progress all the best Mal

It's simple...any doubts walk away..the right product/deal will turn up if you keep looking!!!!

[slyfox-mal 1]

cheers deker im not really looking for another rifle at the moment having just spent £365 on the new tx200hc .

but i think ill get this one just to use as a project over the winter and see what it is like.

i must admit it did bring a smile to my face when i fired it for the first time as i have never fired a pcp before

cheers mal

[Adam-RunningDog 1]

Well im guessing you got a falcon by there mate a good gun from what i hear i dont know much about guns but i have always been good at remembering what is what and i recognise that stock the barrel and the gas tank hope it helps mate

[slyfox-mal 1]

well guys its definatly a falcon fn19 however the stock is off a different rifle maybe a fenman

i have had a chat to my mate about it and hes said i can have it not for 100 quid but for 50 quid so im going to keep it for now and maybe get myself a replacement stock and maybe restore it to its former glory over the winter

thanks for all youre comments kindest regards mal

[johnbaz 363]

definitely a titan or later falcon (i think they didn't change the design when falcon took over)

 

deffo aint a daystate, a couple of pics of mine, the bolt is for cocking and loading...

 

 

for a hundred quid, you really ought to pull his arm off at the shoulder :D

EDIT- just seen your reply- well done mate, you should be wearing a mask and a stripey jersey :laugh:
