Here is a couple of pics of my lightweight rapid fitted with a 100cc bottle - hidden inside an MFR stock 👍

I've just had a look at the article, and that's the one I've got. Apart from a couple of small differences.
Mine doesnt have a lightstream fitted, it's got a nice little hawke sourced from a very helpful gent on the Agf 

Ive also removed the long series mod in favour of a BB mod

Cheers Phil.
As I thought its too long for my needs.
Lovely rifle there mate.

Cheers.
The 100cc bottle is the way I'm going.
Nice with it hidden in that MFR stock Daz.

Thanks 👍 it was fitted to a RAW quickfil regulator with gauge - so I wouldn't have to remove the bottle to charge it 👍
The WP of the 100cc bottles is 232 bar - so loads of capacity too 😎

It sounds like you're sorted Rob, but I thought I'd put the measurements up for any future needs.

Apologies for the delay.

Complete length of cylinder = 285mm
Diameter = 33mm

I've found the article showing the cylindered version. Looks like it will be too long anyway for what I need, so I guess I'll need to try and source the 60cc buddy bottle.

Yep I've got one, fx tube mk3 elan version for want of a better title. I'll have a measure. 29.5 cm. fits inside a gnib stock foreend.

Be good to see some pics during the strip down kev - if you get a chance 😎

That is a nice bit of kit! I'd love to get hold of an elan never seen one in the flesh probably never will either but I can live in hope!

Not over impressed with some of the internals.reg core is one of those steel sealing face ones and creeps like hell.

I'm sure it will be very different soon Kev, it just needs some time in your shed.

I love the way mine handles with a small scope on it. Going from a Mk1 to the Elan is a bit like shooting a toy rapid. Everything is so familiar, just much lighter & more pointable.
