Title: Just joined, looking for some advice
Post by: Bruce on June 30, 2024, 01:06:35 PM
Hi Guys,
I'm Bruce, new as a member but I have been here as a guest many times reading through posts for advice.
I have been shooting for years mainly hunting, but the last few years really getting into the maintenance side of my guns.
I'm currently dealing with a problem on my Rapid 7 fac mk.2  .22  rifle

Where or who can i ask for advice on fitting a quieter silencer than the standard, and a regulator for more consistant shots. Also a leak on the rifle and bottle. And any modifications that will be needed.

Any advice from someone who has possibly done the same would be appreciated.

Hi Bruce,
Well for the sake of a few £ I'd advise you to buy a seal kit from the bay of everything, & have a go at the leaks yourself to see how easy basic work is, "A1tackle" is the seller I use.
To find the leak I put the rifle in a bath & look for air bubbles, remove the stock, scope & mod first, & maybe tape over the muzzle, so it leaks from the breach if it's the valve.
Here's my MFR with a reg leak but also note bubbles at the bottom plug in front of the trigger, this takes a 1/4BSP Dowty washer not in the seal kits but is quite a common leak, Obviously they need a dry & relube post bath.

It's just what looks like blatant post-count building, simply by saying 'hello' on every single thread regardless of it's age.

A tactic often used by those who want quick access to a forums sales section, so it doesn't look good.

Treat it like "happy new year" after a week, you've missed the deadline.  ;)

Doesn't matter.....
I made it so any Posts in this board don't add to your total Post Count!!
