RAW probes and Theoben probes

Dr Bob · July 11, 2020, 10:58:12 AM

Hi all.
Just had a phone call from Cyprus asking if the RAW probes are the same as standard Theoben one's. Never having had RAW (Rapid Air Weapons= American) in my hands I couldn't answer. I know they have the biathlon style lever bolt but that's all so I said I would consult " the forum ".
Over to you guys.

The short answer is No!
The outer probe comes in 2 parts.. the back section is standard and it's the front which can be changed to any specific calibre,by just unscrewing it then setting your precise lockdown pressure then locked in via grub screw!
In my opinion it's a much more friendly set up.

What about changing the inner and outer complete?

Not tried that as the hammer doesn't appear to have the adjuster at the rear!
It's adjusted from the outer probe as far as i can make out.. seems much much easier!

Whilst it works very well..Only minor criticism i have is..the probe appears to be a little wriggly to me than the Theoben set up !

No bother at all.
I wish i could afford a better phone and camera..

I can see now where it adjusts and the key to tighten it up once set.
A very good idea and simple.
