Mr Bond here from near Beverley, in Yorkshire.
I've joined as I have just jumped back on the Rapid wagon again.
A nice Elan dropped in my lap recently and the last Rapids I had were 20 odd years ago so I might need to pick some brains!
Been a shooter for 40 plus years, got a bit of a collection, but love the old classics and the Elan was a grail gun for me.
Anyway, hello, and catch up later
Phil

Thanks chaps.
It came up in a trawl of the interweb, I thought it would havd sold but messaged him anyway.
I wasn't so I bought it without delay. It came with a few extras, scooe, LH Elan stock and a decent bag.
I've already been shopping at Dr Bobs. Ooops!
I'm in the Beverley area, in Yorkshire. Any members round here?
Hopefully I can figure out how to load pics here too
Picture. Maybe.

Welcome aboard mate

Another pic

KevG
Cheers Kev. I love the black look, I build lots of rifles in that style.
Here's a couple, my BSA Ultra folding stock, lits of nice things inside you can't see
Another view
I can't load multiple pics. Probably because I'm 59.
::)
And an S200 made from crap out of a bits box, plus a few bits I had to make or buy.
Wrong pic, can't edit, again as I'm 59 I would think. Ffs
Here-
Last try
I like this rifle, not mine but reminds me of my old army rifle L96A1
I guess having Titanium exposed(no blackened)
She doesn't qualify........

Titanium tube and a carbon shroud think the balance maybe just right
This is what Stuart needs from me and KevG
