    I remember seeing one in a crazy shop in Croydon many years ago when they first came out. (can't remember the name of the shop but it was on several floors and bought and sold just about anything, think the owners son set up a store in Bexhill)

    Any way, lusted after a MPT then and now I would love one! Any pointers where to look?

    Titan mpt - worth the wait?

    Turns out I sold it to a Kent shooter and then it ended up with JB who blue printed it and re blued with a Match trigger fitted, and then sold on to two other owners before I finally got it back from a nice guy in Manchester. (thanks Jay). It had literally been up and down the country before coming home again.

    So I bought it back for the same price as I sold it and it came back like new!

    Very under rated lovely little compact piece of kit. They just look stunning too. Anyone thought of a register to see how many are about?
    thats a good idea to see how many there are, how many shots a charge do you get from yours now it's blueprinted?

    Ah, no they're the big ones that seal the inlet & outlet main valve bodies at both ends of the air tube. Big enough to wear as a wedding ring.
    I'll just get on and order some, now I've found a firm that don't have dem big minimum orders.
    I think Nitrile 70 is fine for most airgun applications.

    Sweet deal.

    Dont know yet as I have not had a chance to try it out. I have been trying to sort a scope and mounts out that suit the set back action.
    It did do about 50-55 before when we had it before.

    Mpt

    I too sold mine and regretted it instantly. I managed to track it down and buy it back after it had been sold again. It's back in my cabinet now

    I treated it to a Beeman SS2 scope when I got it back.

    Cheek weld is perfect with my eye lined up with the scope. For 21mm objective, the glass gives a bright clear image.

    As far as shot count is concerned, starts dropping at around 60 shots.

    These are lovely rifles and show case the craftsmanship in the early 90's airgun industry.

    Does anyone know the Oring size for the 0.22" pellet probe? Mines got a few nicks out of it.

    Cor, look at all that brass!

    BS005 should be the probe seal. That's the size they give for the FN, on the Falcon Forum - so probably right for the Titan.

    Bought two Titans recently.

    A .25 that moved on and a long Manitou in .22 which impressed me at the range.

    Lovely right hand stock.
    I shoot leftie but still might keep it.
