Title: .30 Theoben build
Post by: etiam viviens on November 20, 2021, 02:54:39 PM
I am busy with an theoben rapid .30 build from an .25.

Have the following items ready.
RAW power valve
.30 slide single shot loader
.30 probe next to an .22 probe

Was wondering if someone has some tips about this build. I can not be the first how is doing this  :D

I am interested in reg pressures and any other advice someone has.

could only guess that the block is going to be short on volume for a regulator.

Believe that the HM1000X is set at 150bar but has lots more volume.

I have a direct flow adaptor that can be directly connected to an external regulator with a large plenum.

So the air volume should be a problem.

The reg can be set to 165 bar, but it would need an 250 bar bottle for the shot count.

I would be happy if it would reach about 100/110 joule with 44 grain pellets.

Just the barrel and a 250bar+ bottle needed then?
Everything else is R&D
