    Theoben E Type

    Bought one of these and picked up yesterday. Truely lovely gun. Came with one mag and filler probe

    Does anyone have a user manual in PDF format ?

    I'm so far resisting the urge to 'just have a go' in case there are any gothca's

    Not good news I am afraid, according to this post. This manual may prove to be more valuble than the rifle itself.

    Worth Joining Theoben Owners groups just in case some one has them in eformat.

    Thanks AG, it doesn't look good as you say

    I did email Impact yesterday and has no response back thus far, I'm not impressed with their service

    this particular e type has been well maintained and serviced , upgraded to a mk3 trigger unit , a +m cylinder , it will give you hassle free shooting for along time to come Martyn, i don't have a service/user guide booklet for it unfortunately but will see if i can find one for you

    I'm very pleased with it

    I was just after a guide / manual to complete it but from what I can see there isn't one

    They have stopped production of new guns but are trying to salvage things by making spare parts and servicing older guns.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    I knew about them stopping production of new rifles, OK, so back to poor service again with a lack of response to emails

    Theoben E Type

    I was mooching around the net looking for spare mags. Came across a Nottingham 'smith that lists them but it seems the mag is quite specific and I noted pointers to the early Rapid 7 shot mags

    Seems the mags for the SLR are different with two tangs where the E Type has one

    The regular 12 or 17 shot Rapid magazines fit the E Type, I own one myself.

    Problem with those is the physical size, but thanks for letting me know, a possible option

    The 7 shot original / Rapid mags look much neater when in place and seems unobtrusive

    I've had a look at both Impact and RAW's site and can't see them listing the original Rapid 7 shot mags as an option - Impact list one for SLR but it's slightly different

    I did find a Notts dealer listing them but pic looked to be SH though site wasn't clear as to condition

    Does anyone know if you can still buy these new ? If so, any idea where ?
