Put a cover over them?

Just finished the decking so I'll be doing all new racks in the garage, so I'll make a storage cupboard up with doors. Want somewhere dust free for when I'm refinishing stocks. 👍

You can't sell something that's a classic. 

Do you keep your air rifles out in the garage?? I'm thinking of dust and rust?

Keep mine under the stairs big enough for me 7x5😉

Im slightly jealous, it's just sex. Absolute filth. Might need a wet wipe here in a min 🤣

Is that a wtc Simmons on top? 

The falcon quickfil and silencer combo makes it look better than separate systems. Not sure how efficient they are bit still looks great. 

Favourite airguns of all time 

Fn12 lighthunter 

Rapid mk2 

Superten

hello, had the misfortune to send to Air Arms/Falcon for a service, after i got this returned i phoned up to find the right fill pressure but found i had filled 5 Bar over which made no difference as these were pressure tested far more when in development , but they null and void the service warranty so i told them to do one and never had another AA PCP

Yes same if I can. Problem is mine had been messed with do badly it pretty much held air when I bought it, got it home to discover the transfer port had been drilled. And badly, it nicked every washer I put in due to the crush involved. Most of the brass is chewed, (use scope mounts to grip the brass parts when disassembling). Had to buy a tr robb exhaust valve which wasn't machined right, it's been a bitch of a gun. Shes shooting dead on 11ftlb now with jsbs so I'm happy. Taken 2 years of part time tinkering as after buying a fx cyclone I didn't really look at it.

It's annoying when you buy a secondhand till you get home then realised  its been tampered with! Why don't they just leave them alone🙄

Absolutely,  I can make pretty much anything I'd probably need in work, but haven't a clue what goes on in my rapid, it works.

How many shots did you get out the rapid at 30ftlb, my mates says its 30 not 24ftlb. He's got a 400cc bottle. Literally knows nothing about them but it came with the original invoice, single shot tray, mag and mounts. 

Im definitely goinh to get a fac one this year, either that or a fx wildcat mk2. I like the idea of adjusting the power, even tho I never use it on the cyclone. Just sold the ruger, going to have a rearrange on my fac, get rid of the 2nd 22rf, 223+308 get 22 wmr, 243 and fac air instead. Just gotta get a new chainsaw first tho.....
