I have a beech sporter stock it can go in

Another of the collection to go Falcon FN19 .177 single shot fitted in a righthanded beech sporter stock. The bluing on this one is excellent. £275 posted ( scope not included )

Trying to clear some of my collection of Airguns Falcon FN12 Raptor .22, Falcon Quickfill silencer, Hawke sport 3-9x50 and 3 magazines. Fitted in a lefthand walnut thumbhole stock with adjustable buttpad. £250 posted

I posted earlier in the thread I wasn’t that happy with the crack repair, so I’ve redone it. I think it looks much better..

@Gordon R yes your old advert came up on the search function yesterday, looked a great buy for someone

Had my 4th go on the clays (DTL today) and I now know it is something I want to do properly, which means I need better kit than the Laurona Eibar magnum. I’ve set myself a budget of £1k and have looked at hundreds of reviews & youtube vids over the last few weeks. I keep coming back to the Fabarm due to the ‘steel’ future proofed nature of the gun, but would appreciate some feedback from anyone who owns or has owned one. The good, the bad and the alternatives…

CS3 worth every penny

But isn’t the question, who is going to catch you using them?

The gun has had it’s first outing since buying it, and performed without fault. 40 shells, every one ejected perfectly, no issues with the stock repair and I even managed to hit 25 of the 40 clays. Only my 3rd shoot so particularly happy with the 25 £35 Bargain in my opinion 😁

Sold

I have a Falcon Raptor .22 in either a left hand walnut Thumbhole stock or right hand beech sporter 3 mags, quickfill silencer £250

Very nice

Sadly I don’t have that facility, I bought the gun, knowing it had issues, as a way of learning my way around shotguns ( more used to PCP’s ). I have limited time/access to shooting facilities due to other commitments and current health issues. The ejectors now function as they should but the action is very tight due to how dry the action has been kept, the woodwork is just something that I find theraputic. Yes, I knew about that. Altough I may have been a little enthusiastic with the sanding, as the photo above shows 😟

2 coats of Alkanet is enough for this one I’ll move on to a few coats of BLO. Keen to get this assembled and test fire it.

Needs a bit of sanding, but that will give me something to fill the small area of missing wood. Despite it looking like a gap it isn’t, and now solid. This is the best I can get it, a bit disappointed if I’m honest but you only work with whats there. Maybe after a few coats of Alkanet it will not be as obvious.

8 hours to wait…

Thanks for the tip. I have a few syringes and large bore needles, the picks are to keep the gap open a little.

Got to steam it first and have a good look for any residual finish left over from the stripping. Then it’s toothpicks and glue time 😁

Butt is stripped, washed off and set to drying. Once dry I will clean out the chequering and give it a light sanding before the first steaming. Then it will need the repairs doing. Has a bit more about it than the forend.

It needs a reseal which will include the reg. It is the same as the Theoben Rapid mk2, have a look for strip down guide if you feel up to giving it a go.

Can you post some pics of the area you think the leak is coming from alomg with a pic of the bottle thread? stripping a PCP is a fairly straight forward piece of work

The forend took days of using various strippers to remove the varnish, and has now had a coat of Alkanet oil. Not a great piece of wood but it will look better than before I started.

I will be, I use the photos to reference back once it is stripped and ready to steam.

Took a few minutes to just mark up the worst of the ‘dings’ in the buttstock before getting started on the stripping, steaming and more steaming. This is just one side, it may take a while…
