very nice looking rapid there Squinty.
I must see about a double tap for mine when I'm next at KevG .
I was there when he started doing them.
I have had his new pre chamber fitted and what an improvement is all I can say.

I like the dimensions its only three inches longer, the mod adds a lot.
The 'plan' is to put a reflex on it:  bit less up front..more at the back.

I test bedded the action and reg  in .22 with a standard inertia then basically reassembled in 177 so I didn't have a true comparison.
Buut consistency is mostly 2-3fps with a 10fps extreme spread and that was straight from the off.

Very pleased that the gun came together as well as it did.

Will consider a double-tap & pre-chamber for my FAC at some point.

a few more than that.  ;D

set at 11.6 with JSB Heavy / 11.3 Exacts....after running it from 150 bar to off-reg looking at a fag packet calculation of 450 shots / 220bar
