As RAW cancelled my AR15 stock order as unavailable to the UK . Here's why I have not been on the forum for a while.
There is no such thing as obsolete or unavailable to an ex classic car mechanic ;) ;).
So been working with another Rapid enthusiast on this.
Looks like good progress Bob. One thing to bear in mind is that the trigger slot in the Raw chassis needs to be a smidge wider so it fits the safety catch on some blocks too. I had to drop the safety catch our of mine to get it to fit.
The other thing that the raw chassis has is an external adjuster for power.....you not having that is a good thing as it will allow the block to sit flush to the back without having to "fit it" to the adjuster, which is part of the raw stock.
The prototypes will be 3D printed that way there will be no bulk batch mistakes that have to be paid for up front.
Bob
Looks good Bob - was thinking it won't be long before someone 3d prints a chassis type stock for a rapid 👍😎
Hi Dr Bob,
Have thought about, or remember Swift's chassis!
He made his on his manual Mill!.... No CNC involved!
It was a Modular design, individual components were bolted together........
He made to also use Standard AR15 stock and grip parts!

Swift used Aluminum Channel stock with a block of aluminum for the Stock extension..

Here's another teaser. Still needs work but getting there.
Bob
Here's another prototype 19 mm longer to fit the Vendetta chassis ;) I think the Vendetta is coming of age.
Bob
Superb, I'm going to be all over this. It's looking good and I can't wait to see the finished thing.
I can see this been a real good seller and I tip my hat to you bringing more rapid goodies to us all (in time) 8)
put me in for one of these Bob when available please.
Let me Know when you have some for sale Bob, still have my Vendetta blocks looking for a Stock to put them in.
I'll post up the details of the guy who's doing them. I'm up to my neck in it at the moment, the insurance are playing hard ball re the pay-out on my building's fire. I have had to engage a loss assessor to fight my corner, that's £12,000 minimum I won't see.
I'm actually on hold at the moment ( trying to multitask) can't get the info off my phone in case I lose my place ::) ::)
Bob
I also would have one .. I'd pay to reserve to confirm my intentions
An hour and 15 minuets on hold and the phone dropped the call after 2 mins!!!! OK, here is the guy's contact number for the stocks. As stated, I'm up to my eyes in it at the moment trying to get the bread and butter work in as no income from my industrial unit so R&D is temp on hold. He has put a lot of time and effort into these and deserves some return. WhatsApp him on 07900 365494
Bob

Hi bud, liking the look of this, do you know if it would fit an early MK1 with the gammo trigger, also could you let me know the price please mate, regards Jim
Best thing is to speak to the Chap mate I'm not hundred percent sure on fitting the mk1
Loving this looks great would be interested to know if it fits the Mrk 1 also,
;)
Jack - thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it:-)
Sorry guys, haven't done a mk1 version.
Two reasons - It got busy busy at work and home, and because I haven't got access to a mk1 to check sizes and fit. Sorry.
Hi Joe, could you pm me a price please mate, also is the stock a folder or rigid, thanks.
not a folder no does take any ar style stock I belive
my is six position more tactical bench rest style
thanks jackrooz, glad it is not a folder I do like it rigid, nice that it can take different stocks.
speak to him directly he has a few options to choose from
he's one of us
bob put up.his number a page back

That looks ace

That does look ace your right, it`s a great shame they don`t do that stock for the Mrk 1 because i would definitely be ordering one for my Mrk 1 that`s for sure.
just received one of these from Joe, very nicely made, and it will also fit a MK1, as well as the MK2,as I have just tried it, here are the pics, not got a buttstock yet.
as you can see the MK1 needs to be moved back to pickup the screw hole in the block and there is a gap at the back but not too serious a problem.
exclent nice one mate.. I did just see big al or yoda doing the same thing
he has a mk1 block with a game trigger in .. and it fits and is working ..
glad to see ..
I personally think there a brilliant bit of kit and am super happy with mine
did you have to remove the safety for it to fit with the rowan trigger ..??
no trigger safety works fine mate
Alright lads, am I right in assuming the pistol grip is also interchangeable with any magpie style ar15/m4 compatible grip?

I like this, tactical looking rapid 👍
Hi all,is there still access to the hammer adjuster with the AR15 stock fitted or would I have to remove block screw or just rear tube pad?
What's the price on these also.
Cheers

Have pm'd you as didn't want to advertise as such.
If you look at a couple of the previously posted photos you can see the chassis comes up too high to access adjuster I'm afraid.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
A combination of things has meant I can start making them again and we have a MK1 in R&D at the moment which is exciting ;D
All the best everyone!

MK1 is up and running :)
Mine came from ebay, 3D printed, is it one of yours Joe ? turned out OK.
I've just bought a little mill & was going to try making one from Acetal as the ally one's seem quite heavy.
I really like the look of yours above, the sides are that bit higher, mine could do with a bit more chassis at the front closer to the bottle.
Yup, one of mine :)
Acetal would probably work well. If you decide to give it a bash pm me and I can lend you the buffer tap if you need one. The bugger at the moment is sourcing the buffer tubes :-\

Most kind, I'll certainly take you up on the offer ;) The acetal is already on order ???
I've actually already got the buffer tube as my stock came with one, (from SGC) as well as having the tube fitted in your chassis,
Rifleworks have tubes listed as in stock around £30
These look a great job and modernise the look of the Rapid alot.
Pm sent re info and pricing.
Replied, sorry took a while.
Angry bear, just holla when you want it :)

:D ;)
Can they be made from Aluminium cut some slots out each side to lighten it up should be lighter than a wooden stock the shoulder can be as it is looks great ATB .

Yes if you access to a Mill...
(https://photos.imageevent.com/scl_electronics/gun/swift/websize/chassis1.jpg)
Essentially there a 3 main components:
Main chassis Channel stock with a 1" channel
Rear block that the Stock extension tube screws into.
Finally the trigger guard.
Then of course the misc. fasteners needed to assemble.
This all was done on a Manual Mill by 220Swift over here on my side of the Pond!
Stuart
I also made one from a block of Delrin, "good from far but far from good" as they say, but does me.
Looks great how dose the stock fit to the back of block ATB :) ;)

Buffer tube is threaded 1-3/16 x 16

I see so the stock is threaded to receive the tube cool ATB .
