Title: Kevs mk 1 regulator
Post by: Smithy27 on January 15, 2026, 10:57:43 PM
Hi all this is my first post.
Hi Kev I have a rapid mk 1 with the stock drilled for a Dr Bob quick fill, would one of your mk 1 regulators alter the position forward of the hole I drilled for the quickfill adaptor.

Sure Kev will be along soon as he burns the midnight oil.
But yes the reg body is longer and will push the QF forward unless you already have the later Mk1 with the long bottle holder

Thanks for your reply,would you know how much longer Kevs regulator would be so i could work out where it would be on my stock,would have to fill hole in. Also would my early mk 1 have a deep enough hole for Kevs regulator.

the body is approx 14.5mm longer

yes, plenty of room internally, iut will be a short-core reg like this.
.the waist is drilled to allow air through the standard Rapid 7 port
