Good evening
Hope to get the help of kevg.
I have been working on a rapid mk 1
I was fortunate enough to receive but it hasn't been used in over 10 years.
( beginning to be a headache )
It was not working due to various problems.
I have been trying to fix it on a very tight budget.
Replaced some seals as leaking but that has now been solved.
Now I have discovered the barrel is internally damaged beyond repair.
Is it difficult to get hold of a decent second hand one?
Would I be better off getting it over to you for expert servicing and repairs in case of any other potential problems?
Thankyou so much for any help

I have found out that a pellet was lodged in the barrel so to clear it I have been told that an object was put down the barrel to tap it out and became lodged itself scoring in inside.
It looks like it is totally beyond any repair.
Thanks for any help
2nd hand barrel or a barrel blank machined to fit.
