Just a quick Hi, and thanks for the invite via AGF
confession time, never had a rapid or even had the chance to shoot one but thanks (??) to @robs5230 he has been tempting me, so looking forward to joining in and learning lots and at some point make a new acquisition once I have a vague idea of what I am doing
all the best
Geoff

Thanks for the warm welcome Gents
I am in Uxbridge, West London and go to a club near the Polish War Memorial off the A40.
Am fairly eclectic in my airgun tastes but have never owned a theoben / rapid, but I will!! Just would like to see a couple in the flesh and see which one fits / suits / gets my heart a poundin'
They do seem to be a like hens teeth, think I am sort of hankering after something that has been shall we say "refined" rather than modified.
Be carefull Geoff once you bond with a Rapid ...it leads to Rapiditus 8)

Hi Geoff.
Welcome to the forum.
We have our own dedicated youtubs channel on here now and I made a video on there about the Theoben Rapid Block.
You may get some ideas of there as to how versatile the block can be.
We also have some of the best engineers on here who make parts for the rapids kevG/Dr Bob/Martin444/Stuart to name but a few.
When it comes to Theoben stocks we have Richard from Custom Stocks and Stevie B who can cover all your stock work.
Enjoy the forum.
Regards Kev.

Thanks for that very useful info, will start having a look at the youtube channel immediately.
From the research I have done so far I have actually contemplated whether it would be worthwhile building one from scratch seeing as they seem to be like hens teeth or attacked with Dremels

Well Mick warned me and I thought pfah......
I subsequently bought a nice 93 mk1 in .22, somebody was then breaking some fac rapids and I acquired the bits to make a nice .20 mk2 hyedua skeleton stocked job which when impact pull their finger out with have a gsx block, then I saw another mk1 22 and for some reason bought that and am on the books for a vendetta in due course...
so yup i have got a dose 8)
I know how you feel most go there in time the same as you.
Have you a pic of the hyedua stock.
Regards kev.
Yep.... Welcome to the Club!!
Suffering from the Rabid Rapid Bite.....
No serious effects... only to your bank account.
And excessive drool looking at a Rapid, Custom or Standard!
Something to think about....Drooling allowed
