Title: MK1 in need of service.
Post by: dmeader on February 05, 2024, 07:26:33 PM
Sorry sent you a message through your profile from my phone and just see the header now I'm on a computer.
Please can you drop me a email regarding servicing on a MK1. Think it will need the full treatment, currently have a MK11 reg with it also, guess this will need your expertise to get it to fit from what I have been reading!!.
There is some other info but will fill the blanks in either by email or phone.

Thanks in advance Dale

Be interesting to see what kev does with that mark II reg on a mark I rapid, I think personally I'd replace it with one Kev makes tbh, but let's wait and see what the rapid master makes of it 😂

On another note, the micro reg in my opinion seems to be way better than a standard mrk II reg from theoben, only reason I say this is because I've got a mrk I rapid with a micro reg fitted by KevG and tbh it's never let me down it's running at 11.50 with a 19inch barrel filled to around 190 bar, I've even pushed it to 200 bar with little or no issues on the foot pounds.

Oh and by the way the bottle on the mrk I is closer to the stock on the micro reg KevG makes but that being said I did replace the stock to suit from custom stock advertising on here to fit perfectly to KevG micro reg.


Hope this helps

Very happy with the results. Big respect to Kev for his work and experience. New reg fitted, silent pip and full rebuild and tune.
 Finally got to the range to zero everything in this morning.
Most of the groups are 5 shots . The left hand group at 45 was the gun going off reg.
