robwelsh 354 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 What are they like std? And what difference does all the bits you can have done to them make? How much does it all cost for all the insides to be tuned etc? Quote Link to post
Daz 7 563 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Standard they are Superb All the Rapid Range share the Same Block the only Difference with the Rapid MFR is the Reg and the Ability to just unscrew the buddy bottle without Burping the Rapid but will only be able to use the Special 280cc MFR buddy bottle. Mines a MK 2 Rapid in a MFR Stock with 280 standard bottle but unlike the MFR it can also use 200, 280, 400, 500, 600cc buddy bottles, So it's more versatile than a MFR. Also all the Rapid range can inter change Cal swaps all You need is the Barrel, inner and outer probe and away you go. Either Rapid will out shoot you and last a long time as their built like tonka toys, Your Choice Rapid MK 1, MK 2, MFR, TTR1, TTR2, and the Vanquish if your flush. atvb Daz 7. Quote Link to post

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I regret selling mine, a beautiful gun. So good I got bored with the accuracy, yes mad I know Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I been shooting my mates std mk2 and even though the action is smooth, its clunky , an when shot quite noisy, suppose that's because you can't hear the muzzle. He's recently got the pegg silencer its about 9" an the quietestiv heard so far, intact I don't think u could get any quieter. But il stand to be corrected as I ain't heard a nutshot (before anyone kicks off lol) I tried the peg on my huntsman twice, once it sounded loud, the second time itwas silent so I don't know what was going on. Their a lot cheaper New than daystates, that's another plus. And there's only one bloke who will touch a daystate that I know of. So that's another Plus. The biggest plus of all I know two boys close by her service their own so I could keep it in shit hot condition like the rest of the guns iv owned. Il regret selling the huntsman I know I will because everything about it is great.but shooting it yesterday I realized more than ever that its just too light, I'm a heavy handed person, an not a small bloke either, I just think I need a heavier gun. Who knows, il keep you updated lol cheers Quote Link to post
Cliff Ray 185 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've used an MFR for the last 7 years and after nearly 25000 rounds it had a problem with the regulator a couple of months ago. Three days later after a free repair, it shoots exactly the same as it did 7 years ago, so build quality is rather good Quote Link to post

Where did you buy your left hand version daz? And how much if you don't mind me asking Thanks, Lewis Blackpool Airguns Lewis mate. Total at the time was £1000 as i had a couple of extras done i.e Quickfill with Gauge, Threaded 16 inch barrel and full left hand action and stock. But it was the best money i've spent on any Airgun :yes: it's a beast never missed a beat in a year and a half of ownership and it's gone through at least 20 tins of pellets , Supremely Accurate and easily out shoots Me. atvb Daz 7. atvb Edited September 17, 2012 by Daz 7 Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Daz, I might just go for the mk2. But the mfr is a nice looker lol hoe do I decide :/ Quote Link to post

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Mine was the MFR, will have a look for photos Edited to add that I can't find any in my old PB account I sold mine on BBS to a lad from Edinburgh called Leepylee, I wonder if he's still on here?

robwelsh 354 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm in two minds to go mk2 or mfr. Daz pointed out a few points to get a mk2 , but the mfr is the one I got my eye set on lol Quote Link to post
Acuspell 329 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It is only the stock....you can get a stock later if you want to. I prefer my ancient and battered mk1. It just DOES and that is good enough. Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's not just the stock, the mfr can only except 280, where mk2 can accept all of them, and the mfr has the seal in the reg instead of on bottle etc. I'm getting an mfr anyway, the guys posting it Saturday. Happy days 1 Quote Link to post
navman 126 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Daz 7, Where did u get your quickfill and gauge from? Love my MFR but don't find it easy to refill the bottle like u can on other makes, Seen these quick fills on Internet wondered about having one fitted to my rifle It would then be the ultimate!
