Title: New Raw Importer
Post by: nevadacowboy on March 16, 2021, 11:25:45 PM
It would appear the new RAW importer for the UK is going to be Optics Warehouse.

The above makes interesting reading.

Sounds like Mike Tawn is " bless you"
Out of the picture?

Didn't see that coming - I thought it would be someone like SGC.

Thanks for posting....

Nice, surprised with these but it's good we have a UK based supplier and I look forward to seeing what's in stock  8)

Interesting but not surprising, do somewhat feel it for MT as my impression is that he was never really supplied with ample stock, saying that dont know if there was any history there

The bit about reintroducing some of the original Theoben PCP's looks interesting, I wonder what they will do.

Thanks for the info nevadacowboy. Be interesting to see what options we get and how long it takes before anything is available.

I have heard that Mike Tawn is not re stocking with RAW stuff but can't confirm it.

Can't wait to see what they have to offer. Had some bits from Optics warehouse before, great service. Hopefully they will get a good range in and a decent supply too.

Sent optics warehouse an email today as i want to go down the chassis route "was going to sell the mfr for an uragan but couldn't part with it" Shaun was good enough to email me back very quickly and said they hope too have a price list ready in a couple of days, hopefully it will include ancilleries as well

Will be good to have a U.K. distributor that holds some proper stock. Hopefully they're made to a good quality. Would love a .20 cal again.

Unfortunately, Martin told me he's not building 20 cal's anymore because of the poor quality of LW 20 cal blanks.  I settled on a .177cal.

Curious how much they will be when they get to this side of the pond

Pity they aren't doing a .20 I had a bucketboy.20 walther barrel fx Impact that was silly accurate and ridiculously quiet too, think it's the best cal In sub 12

Kev,

Is there someone here who makes the RAW hammers with the peek tips?

Thanks.

A friend of mine got a brand new Raw - TM I think - not long back and after looking inside he was very disappointed with the quality 2500 on a rifle with rough internals - seems that QC is heading down the pan (again).
