Lightweight rapid

Thought that I would like a very lightweight rapid.....

So using a RAW regulator quickfill gauge setup I fitted a 100cc buddy bottle with a WP of 232bar - that was fitted into a profile MFR stock to keep the weight down and then fitted a short 13" barrel. With the 100cc bottle fitted it was 99% covered by the MFR stock - it looks like there isnt a bottle fitted 😎

Very Nice  light and compact Daz.
I bet you were glad you fitted the quick fill during the build.
You seem to have developed a knack of what you want from a rapid when it comes a new project.

You can see here the size difference between the 100cc and 280cc bottles

The quickfill was essential Kev as otherwise to remove the bottle to charge it - I would have had to remove the stock 😲
But it was the lightest rapid I've ever used - even with the 100cc bottle the shot count wasnt too bad....

Cheers mate it really did turn out well - I've still got it but now its fitted with a 120cc tube and sits in a gsx100 stock 👍
I use the 100cc bottle on my regulator tester now 😎
