Yes mate its a larger pre chamber that stores more air to fuel the shot. In this case the bigger plenum screws into the bottle adaptor before the reg. They can also be added to the valve housing to increase the volume of air available to the valve.

My First Rapid was this mk2 and KevG told me that it has a FT stock which was a good surprise, I'm not too sure how common they are but either way it's that little bit different.
When I bought it, it came with the original buddy bottle alongside the carbon Best Fittings one. I had the stock sent out for a refresh and it came back looking great.
The carbon bottle is now in the gun cupboard and the original bottle refitted.

Safe to say all of these are a joy to own and they are all superbly accurate, the gassers I'm still getting used to as I've been shooting pcps for too long.
Anyway, more to add no doubt 😁
