Titan MPT .177 PCP Air rifle.... Is it collectable?

[greenwayjames]

The straight cut breechblock, silly two shot loader and the hammer cocking crudely linked to the pellet loading bolt were all Titan production items before Falcon hijacked the designs. I was told that Adrian Hartly bought a JB tweaked MK2 MPT in .20" which persuaded him to start Stalker rifles and base his Cheetah, Leopard and Jaguar stocks on the MPT one.

Here you go, showing my pair of Titan MPTs, the Mk1 on the top and Mk2 on the bottom

and close up of the action on my Mk2 showing the 'knob' behind the bolt that is to cock the action. This knob is at the end of the cocking 'bar'/'rod' ....

The bolt is pulled back, touches this and pulling the bolt further back, pulls this back as well, cocking the action. I tend to use it double action, ie cock the action first and then load the pellet using the bolt thereby defeating the whole purpose of the Mk2! This reduces the force needed to operate the bolt.



Accuracy of both is excellent. TBH, haven't used them much recently so I'm going to refrain from qualifying that

Hope this helps

Thanks for posting the pics Duncs..... I've never seen a Mk2! Interesting that both of your's have quick-fill valves(?) mine are both screw-on fill adaptors.
