He don't Rob as said its metric since 94 or 95 when became Falcon. If it actually is imperial its not a Falcon, its a Titan pre 94 both look very very similar. Titan breach loading area is angled, Falcon horizontal flat. The M22X 1.25 end plugs are undersize which would amount to the 7/8" measured. A mate had the metric tap given to him for remedial work by a Falcon director now at AA. Check the thread again. Peter why would you need to crank the end plug up, finger tight ample! CO2 is for low pressure else it will freeze above 120bar well below operating pressure of air. Scares me the seriously thin walled tubes used (burst pressure circa 150bar) for CO2 and idiots running them in excess of 200bar air. Most decent target rifles are aluminium tubes with 10yr life span as a removable cylinder. Choice of 6 scuba centres within 15 mile, 5 of which top up to 300bar. |

Titan and Falcon threads are 7/8 x 20 tpi. not metric 22x1.25. close but no cigar :bugeye: |

I'd let someone experienced do it. Not sure where you are but a guy up north did some work on one of my airgun cylinders, if I remember right his name was Mick Tromans. Did a great job and only cost £50. There was also a machinist that used to shoot at my club who made a new piece for the rifle end of the cylinder from stainless steel and only charged me £25 so there are folks out there. |
