Vermin Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi all I have the chance of buying a second hand rapid mkII he wants 300 notes but its a bit tatty few rust spots here and there stock could do with a good cleanup it has two buddy bottles mags and case scope not all that cracked up to be. To be fair not tested it either 300 is a lot to part with thought maybe 2 or two and a half any advice welcome not bought second hand before only new Cheers vermin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingit Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 That sounds a fair price to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 sounds ok for a mk2.... plenty of spares should you need it.... check it before you buy may be over the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think 300 is a pretty good price for a Rapid Mk2. It should have the Mk4 trigger, which is superb, and the shot count is huge too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermin Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks guys will give it some thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 what calibre is it???/ any idea on serial number??? what length barrel??? and what silencer fitted? check action screws as they may show signs of opening the action up. they are easy fixed should you need too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 a good rapid Mk2 will outshoot pretty much anything. A bad one will be a bottomless pit, check that it holds it's full pressure well and that it shoots well! Check the magazine cycles well too! It's £300 now, if much needs doing to it, that goes up pretty quickly. If you replace the scope - which sounds like you might want to do - you're already closing in on a kit for HW100. Basically, it's a reasonable price if it works fine, but go in with your eyes open...You don't want to spend £300 now, then have to keep spending on it, just to keep it going! all the best, let us know how it goes...

fireshot Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I`d buy it at that price a mk2 could have a anshutz, sporter,mk3 or a mk4 trigger serial number is best to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet169 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 you could sell the block for that price so would go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbox99 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Looking at rapid prices, that seems like a good buy unless it needs a lot of work doing to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermin Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 To all who have replyed to my post of a second hand rapid, I apologise now for wrong info I was given this is a mk1 rapid 7. But if you guys still think its worth £300 or less please let me know. Many thanks Vermin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
