Title: Rapid Mrk1 & Mrk2 fast flow valve photo`s
Post by: Kernal on July 07, 2020, 11:41:55 AM
Just to show everyone thats new to seeing these fast flow valve`s that your buddy bottle is attatched too,
Below in the attatchemts are photos or the two types of valve`s that have no restrictions to air flow.

The Mrk2 fastflow can fit the Mrk1 but the bottle would be pushed forward due to the length of the valve being a little bit longer.

Hmm...
I know that Swift over on my side of the Pond..
Did a few conversion of old MK I receivers to MK II specs...
Deepen the the Pre-Chamber. Then Milled and drill the bottom access port.
Then drill the second through-Port!
Then installed MK II Fast-Flows....

seen a couple of blocks done like this besides my own with short core regs.
Actually bought a gun that had been opened up, thru-port and top transfer......badly.
Wouldn't shoot consistently fast flow or regged.

Just goes to show that you never know what's been done to a Rapid until you take it apart.
