Rapids

[Rapidnick]

Bought two recently , both mk1 and both I would describe as near new condition, One was bought off a old gent who bought from new back in 1995 , had the original theoben slim silencer fitted and came with period scopes and all the paperwork , manuals, etc and 3x 7 mags which were still in packets and a 12 shot mag , I was very much sure that this had not been messed about with , The second one I had only days ago I know of the last 2 owners, both mates and one never got to use it , but came with the push on evo silencer on it and original cocking bolt and looking at the gun don't look like it's been used much at all,
The more standard stuff on the gun would be a bonus for me to buy, Most ones been tampered with I would at least expect to see the barrel screw threaded, It may no be the case with most , myself I would prefer one as standard as possible if buying,

The first one you bought sounds really fantastic. To find someone who left magazines in their packets is rare indeed.

Just the sort rare find I would be looking for

Hey yes indeed , I ain't touched them myself, It came in walnut stock, Someone on here posted the pic of the silencer on here a little while back, I had trouble loading pics, This was being advertised for about 6 weeks before I bought It and I th9ugh it was a very good buy, Also on the free page there is a mk1 rapid sat In a tyrolean stock on sale now , well was there the other day as I was supposed to go to Birmingham and do a deal with the chap, anyway cut a long story short lots of people commenting that you can't buy a decent untouced rapid for a good price but I've seen quite a few bargains lately including the one I just mentioned, For me though the rapid ticks all the boxes,

Most has been said by Nick and BB.

I have seven in various guises and they are as good as everyone says and better than most models available on the market today. In fact the only gun with the exception of RAW that can compete with it is the HW100.

I also love the fact they're easy to work on, I've worked on a number now but only one with a knackered block and I managed to fix that with BB's help and advice. Again this was one where some plank had put a whacking great hammer spring in it and would the regulator up to its limit.

As an aside Pete made one of his reflex silencers for it and it made just a 'puff' on firing.
