Picked up an air rifle sold as a manitou and told it's an fn19 .
Apart from serial there's no other markings ..
What's the difference between the 2 .....
Quite a long air tube on mine ....

The stocks on titans usually have a cut on both sides for the cocking bolt Also the breach is sloped "only cut half way threw" and falcons are cut right across

The 19 in FN19 means a 19 inch air tube, in case you hadn't guessed already.

Later Titan Manitous had the straight cut breech. Falcon stole the design so the single shot Falcons and Manitou are identical. The only difference between the two would be the stock.

Can you get some pics of the breach with the bolt pulled back as if to load a pellet then I will be able to tell for sure if it's a falcon or Titan.

I'm far from being an expert on this marque but I do recall the edges of the Titan being rather softer than the Falcon. Falcons just seemed less polished. On that basis I'd go for Titan.
Having said that, this could well be a Falcon stock.....

i ment inside the breach area, where you place the pellet, but so far its looking like a titan going on the bolt, the titan has a screw in a recess in the area you place the pellet, which has a nasty habit of nosing into the screw recess, the later falcon has had breach area redesigned so the screw recess is not there (im going on memory as i cannot be arsed to move 1/2 a ton of junk, gun bags and shooting boxes to get to my fn 19 which has not seen the light of day for a few years)Originally Posted by stublade
what ever it is, falcon or titan you have a very nice gun (as long as its in the right caliber (.177)) they are stupid simple and bloody accurate! single hole groups at 75m were the norm at Pontefract airgun club with the fn19 (i freely admit i haven't a hope in hells chance of that these days)

Thank you all .... It's in the correct cal of .177 ☺
And after fitting a de-twanger it's whisper quiet and so accurate .
Came topped with a nice Apollo 3-9x56 too...
Titan it is then 😀

Except I've managed to break my Bearcat.
I really should send it to you for fixing.
Whoops, I mean John Bowkett.

Just checked and it has the screw in the breech right where you drop the pellet in
