kyska Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi All, I've just had a 500ml bottle arrive for my FAC rapid, putting it on, it almost touches the barrel, when I 'shake' the gun it rattles slightly against the barrel, obviously there is some play in the barrel anyway, does this sound right? or should I send it back and get another 400mm?

Davy Holt Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hiya, there will be less clearance if it's an original Theoben barrel as they have a bigger dia than the majority of the replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh this is an original alright! Reworked insides but standard from 1994! The clearance is nominal, just about see light through it. Thanks for the info Davy. I'll try it out and see if it alters accuracy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo2005 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 why do you need a 500cc bottle ,just get a reg if you what more shots per charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 why do you need a 500cc bottle ,just get a reg if you what more shots per charge Cos the bottle was £150 cheaper than a reg, in fact it may already be reg'd...not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireshot Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Mk2 will have a reg fast flow on mk1s reg about 23mm long and fast flow 12/13mm long to the joint of the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid rich Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Mk2 will have a reg fast flow on mk1s reg about 23mm long and fast flow 12/13mm long to the joint of the bottle. Not actually correct.....I believe most FAC mk2's are actually fastflowed. although they can be also regulated, but the mk2 sub 12's are all regulated Gets confusing doesn't it!!

tweedledee Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 all fac mk2`s are fast flowed unless you specify you want it regulated.i have a regged mk2 fac model and another fastflowed version on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
