Hi all.
I have tried a search but couldn't find anything to help.
So, were fastflows ever factory fitted to rapids? Is there an easy way to ID a fastflow?
Cheers
depends what you mean by fast flow.antthing thats not reged is realy a fast flow.though for sub 12 ftlbs they were choked down to give some form of self regulation
KevG
the early mk1s were all fitted with bottle adaptors.sub 12s were choked down apart for the .177.a mk2 needs a reg to run at sub 12.

Cheers Kev. Is there an idiots guide to fast flow?
I have just got my head around regulated and then got my first rapid and was told it was fast flow ... twisting my melons now
what model rapid is it on and what power
KevG
Ummm....tough one to answer.
I think it's Mk2 judging from the serial number and it's running 46ft lb
Someone did say it's a TTR based on something to do with the finish on the block, yet the stock isn't a TTR stock but one made by a company in the Midlands (the name escapes me) but its the same style as a TTR stock
well if its .22 calibre it should be fast flowed running at that power
KevG
Sorry, should have said its .25
First off.... Fast Flow Bottle adapter:
