I'm a new member here and more importantly a proud new owner. The rifle is yet to be delivered, a 2008 MK2 .25 fast flow. It's got a quick fill and from the pics the MK4 trigger group. The best part , a blonde sentinel thumb hole stock. I've been going through the site and gathering as much information as I can before I receive the rifle and start my journey. Always wanted a rapid since I first saw one and I managed to find this one almost locally. As soon as I saw the add, I contacted the seller and purchased the said rifle. These Theoben rifles are like hens teeth here in Canada. I'm feeling giddy like a school boy knowing it's on its way to a new home.

Hello Hobbyman2007,

Glad you signed to join in on the fun!
Here in the US we had David Slade/ Theoben USA..
So we has a good supply of them when they were still around.
Then RAW was started.. Still not bad.. they Still made the Rapid MKII
But when AirForce acquired RAW things change.. not for the Good..
But they still make bits for the Rapid if you need them..

Anyway, hope you like our site!
Post some pics of you new Rapid... we love Rapid Porn here!

The rifle I acquired was imported to Canada from the US back in 2017. I sent Martin an email seeing if he might have any information on this particular gun. I completely forgot about David Slade. Maybe I can send him a few pics.
