RAW REPORT

Great shooting guys.

Went out today and shot a group at 50 yards in 11 Km/h left to right wind.

Well guys, it looks like Air Force has started updating the RAW website (finally) (www.rapidairweapons.com). Looks like there is a new logo, new front splash image showing off the 'new version' of the LRT stock. When you click on 'rifles' and then look at the LRT HM1000x, the images and price have been updated (relax on the price-it went DOWN by $0.05 from $2200, down to $2199.95). My guess is that the guns pages that get updated by AF will now end in $xxxx.95 to denote that the info and offerings have been updated by AF-but this ALL speculation on my part at this point in time...

Just wanted to pass that along.

With any success, I'm hoping to see my BM500 sometime this week...

I just learned that they sell right hand loading magazines in .30 cal. Is this something new or old news? It was probably mentioned before and I missed it. I couldn’t use a custom side wheel I had with the original mags and ended up selling it a while back. I was really annoyed I couldn’t use a larger side wheel, I’ve gotten used to them on all my scopes now. Just ordered the new mags AND a new 80mm side wheel.
 
I was one of several people who asked Martin to develop a RH loading magazine. I posted about getting an early version of it probably about 15 months ago. First caliber available was .25 cal, then he began offering them in other calibers. When I got my .25 cal converted to 60 fpe in Dec 2017, I also had Martin set me up with a .30 cal barrel at the same time. The .30 cal RH loading magazine was available at that time-and that’s what I had him send to me with my barrel.

So I agree with the others I do not see RAW without Martin.

I will say my BM stock I just received left a little to be desired.

I asked for it unfinished (no stock oil) however I found the sanding incomplete in several places and a couple small gouges that I had to work a long time 

to minimize.

That said the stock is coming along, it still needs more coats but I would give you guys some updated pictures.

I may go gloss afterall.

What do you guys think?
