Good stuff there steveo.
Never made the transition to PCP. But I always had a thing for the old Rapid M1's myself.
Did you drill a pilot hole for the qr stud, or just have at it with the bit?
Used to be on the airgunBBS a few years ago - it's still a good place for information, but it's full of *****. In all my years on the internet, that place is the only forum where I asked the moderators to delete my account and any contact details/posts, basically any and all information as it pertained to me.
Some of the members there are not the best representatives for the sport of shooting, be it airguns or powder, that plus the attitude of several long-standing members towards me, is the reason I'll have nothing whatsoever to do with the place.
