Park RH91 / 93 / 93 800-Information / advice

[Baxterbasics]

Hello esteemed and venerated members of the Collectors section:

I have suddenly developed an unhealthy interest in these fine British rifles. Any Information / photographs or just general chat about them on here would help to feed my new found addiction

Who has one?
Who can post photo's of their own beloved models?

Who will sell me a Park RH93 in glorious .177..arrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh!!. Phew. Sorry guys, almost lost it for a moment back there

Errrr .... didnt you sell me one a couple of years ago?

It was very powerful. It had a slightly creepy trigger mechanism, and the blade was an odd shape, too curved like a BSF. It was superbly made to a very high standard of engineering, lovely walnut stock. It was quite heavy. Cocking it was not difficult, but certainly strenuous, not suitable for long plinking sessions. It was completely recoilless, nothing happened at all except the pellet zapped out the muzzle.

I sold it to Jon Budd, as I found my Air Arms TX200SR was better balanced, had a nicer trigger, and was easy to strip and maintain.

Then I got a ProSport with a Venom Stage 1 kit in it and found that was equally as accurate as the TX200SR while being lighter and less complex, so I sold the SR.

So the answer is: if you want a Park, buy a ProSport.

The Park is a superb rifle but the trigger is not great and stripping it is a PIA. A little more development would have made it unbeatable. Jon Budd seems to have got very good at stripping and fettling them, I think he has two, best to ask him if you need mechanical details. I think the 'O' ring for the piston can be replaced with one off a BSA Airsporter, but the mainspring and secondary spring I think maybe need to be POK! one-offs. He seemed to think that the necessity of balancing the springs and pistons was a bit of a myth, and that they are not that difficult to work on. They are alot more trouble than AA or HW guns to disassemble though.

There's my tuppence!

Thankyou for your input No-I am afraid I am innocent of the crime of selling you a creepy trigger version
I shot JB's Park at Cobham on several occassions-probably what planted the seed...

Merry Christmas mate

Well I regretted the sale a couple of times ... it was a nice short rifle, if a bit heavy. Quite ugly though, a bit like a PCP! It has a very solid feel to it, much more so than a Whiscombe. They tend to come up about twice a year on the BBS, and tend to be rather expensive. However, springs and seals aside, they really are collectors rifles you can shoot every day, probably til you die, there is NO WAY you will be able to wear one out.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Graham check out my web site www.springgunshooter.co.uk and under the adverts tab are a couple of old adverts for the 91 and 93.
