| Stuart....great info and the PDF is awesome as well. One thing you might consider adding...and this is very simple...but will definitely be a question from many of the Rapid newbies, is the proper way/method to take the bottle off the Rapid. Great job!! |

Milo2005,
That is a standard FAC/Export hammer that came with my Mark4 trigger. I convert my Early MKII w/sporter trigger to Mark4!!(the hammers are different between the two triggers!)
Cheers M8
Airgunr,
The removing of the bottle is more a daily/regular operation when shooting. But I do see your point and will add it to the guide. Stay tune HERE!!
Stuart

Thanks for that Stuart! Can you tell me, is this molykote 33 or dow corning 33 readily available? Will I find it at my local Ace hardware? Or it a little harder to find than that? Is silicone divers grease (bought from a dive shop and made specificly for scuba gear) suitable/acceptable?
regards,

Dow Corning is a a bit thicker than scuba silicone grease.Also it israte as a low temp grease! But Scuba silicone grease will work in a pinch!!!
You can do a net search for Dow Corning 33. I have bought a few tubes from Mcmaster-Carr thru the years!!!
hth,
Stuart
