deputy dog Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi lads. I bought a Rapid 12 about a month ago now. Although i'm well happy with its all round performance and accuracy. I'm still a bit unsatisfied by its power and now wanting to convert it into and FAC rated gun. Could any of you please tell me how much it would be to send it back to Theoben and for them to do the neccessary convertion. I really dont want to fork out another £900 for another gun already in FAC. And do i have to state what power i want it put at, or do they just set it to a certain power output as standard. I'm looking for the gun to do about 25ft lbs. ATB DD :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 mk1 or mk2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) They used to list prices on their wedsite for this, and conversion price will depend on wether a new barrel is fitted or not, easiest way is to simply ask Theoben, they will give you a fixed price quote!

kdubya Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Sell the 12lber then buy a second hand fac rapid, cheap as chips as there is little market for them. KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen good mk1's go for £350 I have two fac mk1 hybrids running @ 30lbs and 40 lbs each set me back £400, plenty of fac airguns out there needing new owners.
