Problems, Wanting to Thoroughly clean after a wet night Hunting or wanting to Modify their Mk2
Spot on Sir,
Kind regards and Happy hunting
Just to put it here for ref
heres what you need ot do to take the action out of the stock its not as straight fwds as the single stock bolt implies
first remove the rear Bottle/butt stock
then use a 14mm socket to take out the filler stalk ( its just hand tight like the bottle is its the same fitting you could put an front cylinder if you liked )
then you need to undo the trigger shoe which is a tiny allen key
now as my sone has currently misplaced that allen key no more piccys yet
you can then undo the stock bolt between the trigger and the pressure guage and then lift out the action remembering to catch the trigger shoe as you lift
refit is the reverse remember to put the shoe on as you drop back in (a bipod really helps )
and just snug the filler stalk in with the socket
------------------------------------------
And heres the barrel off bit
with the scope off ( on mine ) you need to loosed the front center 2 screws in the front rail block ( the rear larger grub screw is a blanking plug which is locktited in )
on the left in this pic
then simply pull the barrel out its just push fit , I do this with the bolt cocked back
To refit just push back home makeing sure the grub screw marks are up ( so the transfer port in the barrel lines up with the action port )
and re tighten the screws this is just a snug up tight
if your not sure of alignment remove the rear blanking grub screw and you should see a dot mark in the brass this should be centeral to the hole as its oposite the transfer port hole

Rapid mk2 in 22cal, Oiled Walnut CS700 Thumbhole Stock, Scalloped Block, MK4 Trigger, Quick Fill,Fast Flowed 400cc Btl, 16" Barrel, Reflex AWT Silencer MFR .177 Hawke Vamint 2.5-10x44 - Needs 2nd Magazine Yet
always best to put info up in the Net for every body some one may have a better idea
I will do a video at some point when Ive got time etc
now Ive got a new 300bar bottle and my ancient combro working and several makes of pellet I can get some propper Geek shooting done
Hi Duncan glad the hair curlers help a bit , it did on mine . I have been thinking over a little mod but you may help with it I read that the filler probe on the .22 and .177 are the same so could you fit a .22 barrel on it for times you need it ?? Any thoughts would be good looked on the web but no answers . Regards Jon
Do you mean the pellet probe ?? this one is 4.4mm dia I cant see how that would work for a 22 cal and still have a seal
I have no problem with the 177 cal for me 22 is a step backwards i'm guessing you mean it used less air so less to silence however to do that i would need to turn the power down i would expect if i changed just the barrel and probe to 22 it would be over 12ft lbs and this is a PITA to alter the power its not got anti tamper but you have undo some bits that may not got back on air tight easily to get at the hammer adjustment.
now Ive played with the baffles its nice and quiet
just which pellet now AA 4.52 look good and so do the second tin of JSB if you fish out the dented ones still the odd flier
Also trying the daystate Li at 7.9gr and the Falcon AP at 7.44gr they are ok but nothing special on group size with a few fliers

more trouble than it's worth then Duncan , was lookin around the other night and say a kit for America that had changeable barrel and a spear gun thing totally mad but the .22 barrel would be good sometimes . Think it was called the verminater extreme !! Google it totally mad . All the best jmc
Hi,
Thats a nice looking bit of kit you have created for yourself there.
Looks like a lot of time and effort has gone into it.
The Huggett sound moderator is the only way to go now.
Update
Have downgraded the scope to a Hawke 6-24 x 56 mainly to give better FOV when using Night Vision add on
HAve uprated the DIY Night Vision E700 Camera and used Wireless to remove the attachment of the gun to the body
Pouch fits in the breast pocket with battery and receiver
Fitted a T20 light with 3 mode 940nm IR (nite-tek Marky610) and fitted a Yukon Ranger lens means i can use the Scope on full 24mag out to usefull ranges but with the 3 mode and the Zoom head still use at low mag at close range ratting etc
Fantastic looking set up..! Very keen on the verminator 2.
Roughly how much does the set up weigh all together?
I have the smooth twist 22 version and it's damn accurate, possibly the most accurate gun I own, I modded my shroud and made an end can and it's pretty quiet, I would love to do a back to back with a hugget as they are highly regarded with my sound meter

Try rolling a section of dense thin foam or felt (so that the edges of the foam or felt meet and all line up at the top) around each baffle to mimic the dampening effect the same material does in the HW Silencers or Hogun Decimeater... The curlers will diffuse the crack of muzzle report and the foam will dampen the post baffle sound even further compared to the harsh steel resonance of the current un-dampened tube
Looking good, every secret agent should have one, and I should get their ray gun!
