Rapid question

[Warby]

Does anyone know if it is possible to retrofit the single shot loading tray from an MFR into a Rapid MkII?

I know that loading would be a bit tight without the hollowed out section behind the tray (as on the MFR), but a single shot conversion would make use of the Rapid in HFT much easier.

Yes.

[Warby]

Good news. Presumably this is just a push in unit and I won't need any gunsmithing skills (I hope not, as I haven't got any).

SBSD - have you actually used a rapid with one fitted? Is it a worthwhile mod or is the loading too much of a pain in the ar$e?

This could save me a few bob, as I was thinking of buyung a dedicated single shot combo just for HFT.

At £16 it's a very expensive piece of plastic and I'm not totally convinced by how well it works, even on an MFR. It just pushes into the gap where the mag should be.

I just single load my Rapids anyways.

Without the extra cutout around the breach, the plastic MFR "tray" won't help that much IMHO.

Other option is to use a duff 7 shot mag as a single loader..

Why not just use a seven shot mag, put one pellet in, push it in, fire push it out, load another pellet, push it back, etc etc

I was going to suggest the same thing there Kev, but you're obviously faster and cleverer than I am

'Cos you can't get 7-shot mags in .177?

But he never said it was a .177 in the original post

[Kev.G]

if you load a mag with one pellet the mag will rotate full cycle very fast on pulling the cocking bolt back,this in time will damage the mag.

He didn't say it was .22 (or .20 or .25) either but he did say it was for HFT and no-one who wants to be competitive uses anything but .177.

Not if you only load into the open chamber on a seven shot mag without winding it up

That is only because none of the competitors have enough skill to use a propper calibre, and so have to take the ladies choice to get a decent score

[sparky]

Yes it will fit and they cost £16.50, well worth it to convert a multi in a single for HFT.

I challenge you to come to come to the Easter Bunny Bash on Sunday to prove your point.
