Hi Kev. How about a list of modifications that you can do to a MK1 Rapid. It would be helpful to know, as at present I see posts about hammers, pips, regulators, trigger mods, valves, transfer ports etc. In what order would you recommend having them done. You have already fitted a regulator to one of mine, and I still can`t believe the improvement in shot count. ATB Ken.
Come on lads, what have you had done. Md
I have had a KevG silent pip and a KevG pre chamber fitted to my mk1.
I have also had a reflex mod made and fitted to my 19inch barrel.
Had some custom work done on my stock and fitted some nice carbon tube to my barrel.
Regards kev.
Sounds good, what's the pre chamber for and is it worth it. Md
Pre Chambers are used to provide a reservoir of air next to the valve for fac use. Not required at sub 12 levels but can be used to allow lower reg set pressures at sub 12.
I've got one of kevs double tap inertia setups in my mk1 elan and it does a great job of eliminating hammer bounce . In turn that makes the gun more consistent and increases the shot count available.
Great idea and expertly made - 1 of the best things to fit to a rapid 👍
Thanks for info, I've a double tap thingy in my fac rapid but not had chance to use it yet. Md
Hi anyone got a 300cc carbon bottle on a mk2 thanks. Md
Got a 500cc carbon on my vendetta - should be good for a tin of pellets 👍

Hows the weight compair to the normal 400cc buddy bottle Daz as i`m thinking of getting the carbon fiber one myself m8,

Haven't weighed em mate but does feel lighter on the gun....... but the 500cc are quite long - might be better with a 300cc carbon - swp on carbon is 300bar think most regs are good up to 250 bar
mfr type regulator dedicated to fit the old mk1 action.double tap inertia better valve and stem plus silent hammer pip.trigger smoothed out by fitting a delrin roller which works just as good as a bearing mod.nice if finished of with a 200cc bottle.makes it feel much more refined.did a .177 with these specs and it could hold its own against a tm1000.just needed a decent stock to compliment it.

You might have talked yourself into doing my next mk1 kev.md
Is there a 400cc carbon bottle that will go on a mk2, l'd like to put 1 my fac rapid to make it a bit lighter. I thought about a 300cc one but not sure about shot count. Md
Have a look on here M8 they sell carbon buddy bottle`s to fit all rapids in all size`s,

:)
Thanks kernel not sure they do 400cc, but I'll call them. Md
Here's my vendetta fitted with a 500cc carbon bottle
Looks cracking that day, how many shots.md
Atleast a tin of pellets mate .... haven't done a full shot string - but with a 230bar fill - it's quite a few 🤣
👍
After reading the modifications that KevG does, it looks like I will be paying him a visit again. I have a MK1 that I want to make a bit special. ATB Ken.
