Nice Collection.....Past and Present!!

Hello Dan and welcome. Nice collection of Rapids there. I have two Rapids and the first came with a 'suicide bottle'. Bought from a RFD who didn't seem to think this was a bit iffy or was just happy to get shot of it! The flat end of the bottle had been drilled and tapped for the fitting of a pressure gauge so scrapped the bottle asap and replaced it with new and a Dr Bob quick-fill. Frightening to think about the gauge parting company with the bottle with 200 Bar pressure behind it! The other one of my meagre collection is a MKII with the Anschutz trigger and safety. Both have been fine for the past few years after the attentions of the our expert guru!

Hi Dan.
Lovely Rapid's there, but I can't help my admiration for the simplicity of the MK1 stock with the tulip front end. Maybe it's because I'm a little jealous that I only have one.

That's some nice history. By the way, did that lawn ever get mowed?
😁

That went right away horrible things those suicide bottles

I've always avoided the Fred in a shed quick fill bottles.... really didn't like the idea of them
