RAW/rapid pistol

[bucketboy]

I was asked to make a pistol using rapid block, the owner really loved the gun but the cocking bolt on the right hand side of the block was awkward to use so he bought a left handed RAW 1000 block and asked me to swap it out sadly I don’t have any pictures of the RAW upgrade but here is the original.

currently it is .177 getting 170 shots per charge from the 100cc bottle, potentially, with a .25, the power could be 30fpe+ but shot count would be poor.

stunningly accurate to 30yards,

I had a similar idea a couple of days ago when I had the block out, but wow that's amazing to actually see it done!!! Nice job

Very nice what bottle are you using, and do you happen to have a link I can find one.

That thing looks heavy. I do like it though.

The bottle is a 100cc type used by divers, 7” LW barrel, I don’t have a link other than a few lines on the rapid 7 owners club but the action is a RAW HM1000, the internals and shroud are mine, the stock was made by another R7OC member .

i have found a couple of photos of the RAW block

Yeah, it’s a lump but even so, two handed my 12 year old grandson can consistently hit spin at 25yards, off the bipod it’s almost impossible to miss with it.

That stock looks like the one on my RAW HM1000X I been wondering if it was after market. Did you Make it by chance Bb?

I once approached Martin about the possibility of RAW producing a pistol, but he didn't seem interested in the idea. Too bad, because there are a good many Thomas pistols/carbines showing up at major PFT competitions. Oh well.

The stock was based on the RAW stock but was hand made by a guy called SteveB here in the UK.

I agree, there is some interest here for a big pistol too. I am also surprised that RAW have not made a bullpup yet either, I made this 4 years ago. Total cost of conversion was less than $40 including stock and paint. It has without a doubt the best mechanical trigger I have tried on any bullpup 



not a pistol but shows the versatility of the RAW block.

Well maybe this was done by him.

Thank you!
