Fo me this has to be the nicest stock for the Rapid. Seen this today in my local shop so got a couple of snaps of it.
It's a FAC .25 cal mk1 rapid in absolute mint condition. Ive never seen this stock before, Anyone else know of these stocks !!!
.
Different
Certainly different..just not my taste..the pistol grips Arghhhh ...fuggly
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & all that.
Whatever it is, it's not a factory stock.

No, not very much.
I'm not even sure the mk1 ever had a thumbhole from the factory*, the only adjustable cheek I'm aware of was on the TTR,
the wrist & pistol grip are the wrong profile for a factory thumbhole stock, and that wooden drop-down in front of the trigger is something I've never seen before.
It was obviously made by a real craftsman,
I'm sure a decent close up of that bird inletting will be identified, I just can't remember the chaps name because I really don't like ostentatious stuff like that.
*must correct myself they did make a Field Target Rapid 17/17, I found in a 1997 magazine feature.
Doesn't look factory to me,but I do quite like it!
