Manufacturer profile
Park Rifle Company
The Park Rifle Company is a defunct UK manufacturer of the recoilless RH91 and RH93 opposing-piston underlever spring air rifles, produced by Gafac Engineering until 1996 with legacy parts now handled by Kenard Engineering.
In our words
Park is a vintage UK collector brand. The RH91 and RH93 are the only models that matter — recoilless underlever springers with a rare engineering pedigree, produced in small numbers between 1990 and 1996. RH93 examples with the integral auto safety are the more desirable of the two. Listings should note serial range, cylinder-block-end identification, and Kenard service history, because that's what tells a buyer the rifle still has a parts path.

Real-world commentary
Park RH91 and RH93 are quietly respected among UK vintage collectors for their recoilless spring action and engineering rarity. Production was limited and Gafac shut down in 1996, so examples are scarce and parts depend on Kenard. A working RH93 with the auto safety is the more sought-after of the two.
