Thank you.

Well all of those parts have a 1/4" bspp bottle threads... same as RAW
So they all will work on the RAW rifles..
I don't know the internal thread of the bottle!!

Thanks for the confirmation, that's good news. Would the internal thread of the bottle matter, as long as the valve and the bottle fit together?
the bottle threads are M18 x 1.5... so the BF 220/280cc carbon fibre bottles use the same valve as 400/500cc aluminium and 480cc inocom c/f bottles.
200/280cc aluminium bottles have an M14x1.5 internal thread
I love how the members on here help others out in there hour of need.
This is why we set up this forum.
Thank you guys for getting involved much appreciated.

I still have a few of my original reg testers if your interested?
Bob
I also have a DrBob reg-tester and i`ll put my stamp on it they are that good,....You`ll not go wrong with a DrBob reg-tester that`s for sure,
Just so you know what it looks like unless DrBobs updated his design i`ve put a small video review of the DrBob reg tester below have a look so you know what you get and just how easy it is to use to set up your reg.

Wow, thank you for all of the info, it's quite helpful!
Dr. Bob, your reg tester looks great (thanks for the link to the video!), but I'm still hand pumping so I don't thing I can use it. However... what other stuff do you have ;D
Hi Zack.
Between Dr Bob and KevG on here you have access to any parts you will ever need for your Theoben rapid with peace of mind and fantastic aftersales from both of them.
They both have been involved with theobens from the day they were introduced into the uk.
Regards kev.

OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you for this info Kev! I'm still a month away from getting the rifle, but I already have some goodies in mind... an SSG, a lighter hammer, lighter hammer springs, etc.
Then I'm sure KevG and Dr Bob will be a great help for you with your new project.
Keep us updated as time goes on and upload some pics.

Thanks Bob! It looks like parts are separated for Mk1, Mk2, and MFR. I'm still new to the Theoben platform and I'm not sure which of these parts lists would be applicable to the current RAW HM1000x rifles. Can you please point me in the right direction?
The reg thread size is different from the standard rapid regs. You need to use a hose and gauge fitted to the plug in the bottom of the new type raw rifles.
The last one I fitted... One of RAW's QF Regs.... it is still the same thread size of the
Rapid.... 3/8" bspp...

I've a new one. November 2020 from krale. Its definitely a different thread. Wont screw on to my reg tester. Had to go the bottom plug route.
I've a new nov 2020 hm1000x from krale. Reg is a larger thread size. And so is the magazine slot. Older magazines are far too lose.
Wow, AirForce has really messed up Their Product line.....
The haven't update their website...
Quote from website, "Regulators for any RAW or Theoben Rapid Rifles with a quick fill system"
Sad, very sad...
Stuart
Magazine is larger for using longer slugs, reg thread is to stop owners using after market parts.
Like I stated before....
When AirForce bought out RAW....
It was another Bad day for The Rapid!!
Stuart
On the bright side we have our guys on here than sort out all problems that may arise in time with there line of products.
