The Park Rifle Company - RH91 / RH93

HOW TO DISTINGUISH AN RH91 FROM AN RH93:

Most RH91s have a serial number starting 0 (below 1,000) whereas most RH93s have a serial number starting with 1 (1,000 and above).
These two images should help you to distinguish. The end of the cylinder block on the RH91 is flat, with no safety catch on it. The end of the cylinder block on the RH93 has a domed shape with an integral automatic safety catch.

Early RH93s had a flush safety button, whereas later ones had an elevated lever. This was following complaints from users who struggled to operate the flush button in cold conditions in the field, particularly when wearing gloves, However, the lever also had its detractors as some found this more difficult to use with larger telescopic units, especially those seated more aft.:

Lloyd thinks the Beeman Duel isn't awesome ... Youtube first ? We also look at the Park RH91 recoilless twin piston classic and the Webley MkIV pistol.

There have been a number of queries about where to buy/sell Park RH91/RH93 rifles.
Changes to fi****ms regulations imposed many restrictions on the trade of airguns but, if you don't wish to negotiate via a local gun trader then a good flatform is Gunstar.

Prior to establishing the Park Rifle Co in collaboration with Gafac Engineering, Roy Hutchison spent many years working at the Sterling Armament Co (Sterling Engineering Company), based in Dagenham, famous for manufacturing the L2A3 (the 'Sterling submachine gun'), ArmaLite AR-18 and Sterling SAR-87 assault rifles and parts of Jaguar cars.

Roy was involved in the Sterling recoilless HR81 and HR83 air rifles.
The Sterling TS16 is perhaps his legacy.

Mark Camoccio takes a look at a prototype of the Sterling Armament T16 which is in a rifle stock from Form Riflestocks.

Stripping down of the RH93

This air rifle has twin opposed pistons kept in sync with a "bicycle chain", and is therefore virtually recoiless. A spring compressor is essential to strip ...
