Dekers Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Mine is circa 2000 and FAC. I have an indexing/magazine turning issue, and now it seems a leak from the quickfill adaptor at the end of the reservoir. I suspect the gun could do with a good service. Anyone know who works on them these days, preferably as near Reading as possible, but if needs must I'll have to travel. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Flash of lightning ⚡ think it was @Beardo who sent his rifle somewhere for a service but I can't find the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) These are easy enough to work on if you have the correct tools or ability to make them. I have rebuilt two for the same chap at my club. one sub 12 and one FAC. The leaking will be cured by new orings but the indexing is a bit fiddly and faffy, but rewarding when you get it right.

I'd be happy to give it to someone who knows them! Edited June 10, 2019 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure your right. I've heard he will work on the titan range, but won't touch a falcon. It was brought up on another forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his posts/topics are fascinating, the technical aspects are very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
