Hi everyone, and thanks for pointing me to this forum KevG.
I've used the same username as I have on airgunforums for those who are also on there.

I don't actually have it yet I'm going for it on Saturday. Before I start I'll thank you kev for your time and advice, and the others on airgunforums.
It's an s type in .177, looks ultra clean, and owned by someone (now deceased) for 10yrs for use at a local plinking range. (Wife is selling)with a 400cc bottle (500 also included)
I've already ordered a GC stock for it but won't be made until Feb :(
For info I've shot all my life, and use all aspects of it across FAC air/rimfire/shotgun and centrefire.
These rapids seem to be steadily climbing all the time and I wanted a safe queen as all my current 8 firearms are tools pretty much, so decided because of its history, it's looks and the people available to help with servicing etc I'd look out for a mega clean rapid and buy it. I'm 38 now and have been shooting since age 9 and I remember so many people that had these in the days I was really keen on airgunning, I still have an fn12 from the late 90s I guess it's similar.
Anyway thanks for the welcomes guys I'm looking forward to being here, I am currently a rapid newbie but enjoy the learning.
And what the hell is this rabid fox it's like the 3rd time I've heard it mentioned ;D
This is the zombie creature that lives on KevG wall in his Shop....

According to KevG, it may have been shot with a Musket!!!
I Still think it is Alive!!!!
So if KevG is working on your Rapid... and you have to go to his shop to pick it up...
PROTECT YOUR BRAIN MATTER!!!
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Enjoy the forum.
Regards Kev.
Welcome to the forum 👍
So here she is guys. Phase 1 complete, phase 2 she's off to kev for the once over and anything she needs :)
This came with one mag, scope, a 12l cylinder (out of test) 400 bottle and 280 spare, a reg?? And a few gubbins. I paid £850.
Stock will be going, as will the scope, and the mod as it's so long! But really quiet!
Will be asking for values on all in due course. I'm so happy to have it but will feel better once I know it's sorted and good to go mechanically
Nice looking Kit you have there.
I don't know if it is the lighting.. it looks like the stock needs a wax or oil.....
Beware of the Zombie Rabid Fox!!!!

Haha you guys and the f***ing fox!!
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the stock is ugly, although shoulders beautifully! Hence the GC order. And I can only find one tiny little mark on it.
It will be up for sale as soon as feb comes around, with the bipod too I don't like the Harris style (thumb wheel) for adjustment 👎🏼
