For Sale: BTAS FAC FX Cyclone carbine + 300 bar bottle.

[Dave-G]

Ben Taylor And Son FAC FX Cyclone Carbine in good order with the box which I bought new. It has three power levels with the high level being about 27 regulated ftlbs.

Anyone unfamiliar with the rifle that was imported and modified by BTAS might expect it to have a power gauge. I don't recall why Ben didn't have them fitted but it was something to do with them having a regulator upgrade and there might be no movement during the 40 regulated shots leading to user thoughts the gauge might be faulty. For that reason I bought extra 8 pellet mags so 5x8= 40 ... time for a refill.

The 300 bar bottle is in test until 08/2023. 1 part used tin of 5.52 pellets included.

The Weihrauch sound mod is on ticket and covered with hockey stick tape to minimise torch/IR reflection into the scope. Will not split the bottle from the combo.

Weaver Classic 6x38 scope with box.

£600 collected only from East Leicester.
The buyer will have to satisfy me he has an FAC with a free .22 air slot before arranging to meet. I will not drop the price as my brother has agreed to buy it at £600 if the wife has to sell it.

Might consider swapping the rifle for a very decent non FAC .177 cal that would have a similar trajectory.

I wish you well with the sale.
I had one years ago. It was blindingly accurate and to my eye the prettiest air rifle ever made. They were a cut above the later examples after Deben took on the franchise. I sold my one and have regretted it ever since. If I did have a slot for another FAC rife I would have it in a flash. The reason give why there is no presure gauge is that it would have spoiled the aesthetics of this fine rifle.

thank you - its a cracker no doubt about it. My youngest is taking up target shooting after settling into his new home/new area, so he might get to use it - or inherit it if it doesn't sell. lol.

Bump.

I found this had developed an air leak so gave it a home service - read about that here:

FX Airguns Owners Club • View topic - .22 BTAS FAC Cyclone air leak action end.

I've almost used up the half tin of pellets during leak checking so it now only has one full unopened tin. My night vision attachments and bipod are not included.

A BTAS regulator service kit and tool + several spare relevant O-rings will now be included. Also its now fitted with a Weaver Classic 6x38 scope with a Dual-X retical. I'll not be needing the Combro when the rifle is sold so that will be included. These add well over £150 worth of extra value to the £600 price.

I've got one of these in non FAC, really nice rifles and very accurate.

£500 collected only.

 

[Dave-G]

I still have this - with nowhere its needed any more.

I can't pass it down to my son as he doesn't have or want an FAC ticket. So I'm open to swapping the rifle, scope and spare seals/regulator service tool for a non FAC .177 multi shot PCP so he can deal with it when the time comes.
