FAC Airgun & Pump Advice

[jonnys]

Hi folks

 

I do a lot rabbit shooting with my 17HMR but there's a couple of areas where it wouldn't be safe to use. Therefore I'm thiking of getting myself an FAC air rifle.

 

I can do 90% of my rabbit control with the HMR, so I want to keep the costs to an absolute minimum setting up the FAC air rifle.

 

So I have two questions please:

 

1. there's a secondhand Falcon FN19 (about 25lbs) for sale locally, it's about 7 years old but in mint cond, it's a single shot unfortunately, but it's very reasonably priced. Does any one have an opinions about the gun / advice? Also it's coming with no scope, mounts, or silencer - so anyone got any thoughts on what it's worth?

2. what is the cheapest way I can refill air into the gun, pumps seem to start at £130 which quite frankly is nearly the same price as the gun. Does anyone know where I can get a half decent new pump? or where they sell second hand ones in Norfolk?

 

Thanks in advance folks.

 

Jon

1. no idea

 

2. Buy a secondhand dive/airgun cylinder. You'll find them on here or on the evil bay - or even at a local dive shop, possibly. Just make sure you check how long it is in test for.

What sort of stock does it have?

I get my PCP filled at my local gun retailer £2 for a total refill, so I don't bother with buying expensive pumps etc. I like you, only use mine occasionally!!
