Post by: Kernal on July 06, 2020, 07:02:34 PM
Maybe next week i`m going to strip my Rapid 7 & give it the once over with a nice new seal kit,  Only problem is the seal kits i bought was over 25 years ago....LOL

Will they be ok do you think.

Well if they were kept in a cool, dry and Dark place...
They may be OK....
Only thing you can do is open a pack up and check them.
Roll them in between your fingers....
If they are Crunchy, Scaly, of Flaky.... Time to Toss them Out!!
Call KevG so he can fix up with a few O-rings....
Also, No matter what KevG says..... a Little MolyKote 33 on them when install,
does help preserve them! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Good Luck,
Stuart

Well over the crono,...It`s very consistent, But i have allot of things to change with my rapid into next year,
My barrel is 21" from the theoben factory set with a 4mm porting yup i guess that`s a fac barrel!.

But that being said i use it for 12lbs,  With a kevG Mini reg to gain more shots,  But into next year i`m going to have a little ride or massive ride to KevG`s so he can port my new barrel to 2.5, or 3mm lead in.

As for the old seal kits by Theoben well lol,
