thinking of buying a falcon fn 12

[lee m]

im used to using my rimmy and 17 hmr, i havnt used an air rifle in years, my freind has offered me a falcon fn12 in 22 how many shots will i get from one charge and what are the drawbacks with these rifles?

[chris31]

I've got an fn12 in .20 and get around 40 good shots per charge, would get more but a bit inconsistent there after. Very accurate guns. Got an fn 19 as well and can't fault either of them in over 10 years!

cheers m8, alot of people seem a bit sceptical of them i suppose its because there are more up to date models available?

[RED BEARD]

I like mine, its sound little gun.

Some people say they are prone to leaks but a seal service kit is only around £15 and really easy to do. Both guns are super efficient and will put pellets through the same hole at 25-35 yards time and time again.

I have 2 fn19s in .177 and they are superbly accurate. I've never had a leak from them but as said they are very cheap and easy to work on. They aren't quite as refined as modern rifles but will more than match them for accuracy.

Ive had fn19 and fn12 cant say anything bad about them

The Falcon FN12 is a great little rifle. It is quite small, very pointable, accurate, and it isn't prone to leaking any more than any other PCP in my experience.

 

Make sure you have a decent moderator, though, coz they are LOUD without one ( then again ALL pcp's are loud without a moderator! ).

i recently sold mine, i got 30 odd shots per fill it was a cracking gun, one i swore id never part with sadly i had to to raise funds for another gun.

 

didnt use it that much and unlike les*1066 i never had issues of it loosing air as it always had air in when i needed it

I have had the FN19 (FAC) for circa 14 years, the 12 is simply a cut down version. Build quality isn't what some makes are but accuracy and reliability have been excellent, especially accuracy, which I have never really understood as the barrel is so flexible. The 12 is a potentially useful lightweight rifle, the shot count isn't that of the 19 but it is more than adequate for its intended uses.

 

Don't expect German engineering, but I have no regrets and no intention of upgrading mine!

I love mine its definitely a keeper! My old single shot one I had I stripped and serviced it myself, simple guns to work on, verry reliable, nice looking and very accurate!
