Hi everyone

[Lloydy71]

Hi how are you from Port Douglas Queensland Australia .
I'm woundering if anyboby could help , I've just been given a Mares titan it's been lying under a house for sometime .
How good are they and are there any speacial things i should know .
I currently have 3 mares pneumatic guns but they are Stien compertition line guns .
The biggest is 119cm ,how would the titan compare to this.
I find these guns great epsesually if i have to go into caves , but by the look of the Titan i dont think caves would be a good idea.
So if any could give me some advice on this gun it would be helpfull.
Lloydy

Is it mid-handled, isn't it? If so, bingo! You found a real piece of spearo-archaeology, my grandfather used to fish with it, collectionists would pay a lot. If it's a mid-handled Mares Titan, it must be the model designed by Ludwig Mares in 1967. It's the second series of air guns by Mares: in 50's the Vicojet series, in the mid 60' the Titan series, at the end of the 60's the Sten series, in the early 70' the Mirage.
Titan, for it's techonical characteristics, is the ancestor of the Mares Mirage: double air tank, power reductor with three possible power options, very powerful gun. I would be very surprised to know from you that it's still working.

let me explain (but it's hard in my poor tchnical english) what I mean for "double air tank": i mean double length. unlike the Sten, in which the piston "clicks" right in front of the handle (because there's nothing behind),in the Titan the piston continues its ride also in the portion of the barrell that's behind the handle. Advantage is that in front of the handle there's just 50cm barrell (this makes it "handy") but the power and the shaft length are the same of a 100cm air gun. It was a powerful and handy gun, one of the last italian mid-handled (but is your Titan really a mid handle?).
