Try posting it on the Airgun BBS, someone there will know, however old PCPs can be a pain in the arse to get parts for, HTh Richard

looks like a falcon fn19 lighthunter to me, my mate has the non lighthunter version, and his just has a peeling off sticker that says falcon on it, could be why you cant see a makers name! good luck with it!!

Spitting images of my bros action on the gun its a fn 19 not sure of the stock hope this helps

thanks guys im trying to find a pic online to compare it to now regards mal

looks like an fn19 but the stock is from an fn12(shorter) and looks like a home done "litehunter" conversion!lol

looks like an old fn19 to me but the stock dont look right

[slyfox-mal 1]

i think maybe the stock maybe a homebrew job but it feels pretty nice to hold

it seems well balanced my only concern is the loading bolt is really stiff to move back and forward

ive taken it out and i dont think its bent

maybe ill grease it tomorrow and see what happens how much do you think a rifle like this is worth ?

looks like a daystate to me mate a bit like the lr90 mk2

[T78 4]

the cocking bolt or the loading bolt?if its the loading bolt,falcons are known for this. astrip,clean and re grease should help a little.

[slyfox-mal 1]

the loading bolt at the back not the one on the side its very stiff what type of grease should i use ?

i think it may be a Titan, the fore runner of falcon, with a homemade/customised stock. imo they are great rifles, i shoot a .20 falcon that is at least 10 years old and i love it! The falcon and titan actions arew almost identical. i would snap it up if i were you! This is my one

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
