Title: early MK1
Post by: flyfisher on February 12, 2024, 03:05:50 PM
here is my very early MK1 in .22 I have fitted a Silco HW barrel, 12mm but have sleeved it with two carbon tubes on top of each other to make it up to 16mm and sleeved to fit the block, the other end has been machined down and then an adaptor machined to hold the carbon in place and then screw cut 1/2 and fitted with a dustin mod,the tube is a ratworks lightweight tube for a HW 100 with an adaptor machined to fit into one of Kevs, regs, also got Kevs double tap inertia setup, so with the 19in barrel is very frugal on air,nice walnut stock absolute pleasure to shoot and very accurate with the none choke barrel, and not fussy,serial no. 133

not one for target shooting I shoot at a range near me with targets out to 70yds and this gun will shoot as accurate as the redwolf and steyr of my pals sitting near they were even more impressed when I told them what the barrel came from.

I`ve been thinking of joining a club near me for target shooting with the new GF she`s thinking of using my Mrk 1 rapid but i don`t think so i`ll have to buy another rapid maybe a mrk 2 so we have both.  :P
