Titan mpt - worth the wait?

[Rickenbacker]

MK1 or MK2 MPT?

Either way - Very nice...

I recently bought this scruffy Bearcat and modern equivalent, the little Brocock:

I suppose if I crushed them together and squinted, they'd be a bit like an MPT.

The Bearcat is now in bits for a reblue and rebuild, but it was running like a Swiss watch over the chrono, even though it was gummed up with old lube gone dry.

Everybody needs a Titan or Falcon somewhere in the cabinet...

BTW, I don't suppose anybody has a couple of BS208 o rings going spare?

Mk 1 I think but not sure what the differences are, it's very consistant on the chrono too 4-8 fps between shots with exact jumbo .22 straight from the tin. My early long action manitou sporter was a tack driver up to 40yds in .177. Try john bowkett for a scource of the o-rings?

MK1 has separate loading bolt and cocking lever, like most Titans and Falcon FNs. While the MK2 MPT doesn't have the cocking lever because the bolt cocks the hammer as well.

Aye, I expect JB has some BS208 o rings. It's a standard size, I just don't have that size right now.

my first pcp 4 years ago and one of only 2 rifles I regret trading, the other being a bsa ultra mmc.

Oh it's certainly a mk 1 then, whats the BS 208 o-ing for , the probe tip? I'lll have a look in my set for one for you but not sure mine are suitable shore rating for hps Rickenbacker.
I was lucky the seller posted me the original titan instructions with a spare o-ring for the probe too, sealed in tape so not perished.My probe seal is fine by the fps figures & close visual inspection with a jewelers loupe. Just sold the 2 big scopes that came with it today so it stands me @ £100 for the gun. Thats my late xmas/early birthday present sorted ;-)

That Stalker Tiger Ten is a nice looking gun, love the stock.

After about 6 years since I sold it I have just bought my daughters old MPT back.
I bought it for her originally about 18 years ago and sold it on when she moved on to a GML Air Arms 400 but seriously regretted letting it go.

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?

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.
