RAW rolling upgrades ?

[Sell682]

I see RAW has made cosmetic changes to their platform but have they made any internal updates?

Seems like the internal makings have stood the test of time but are there any improvements coming or those people would like to see?

I have a new model in 25 cal. There are only two changes - barrel now has threaded end for your own moderator, and the side cocking lever has changed to be similar to FX/Daystate style. Everything else appears to be same as old style (I have one of those in 22 cal).

Wonder if the cocking lever can be fitted to older models as a drop in?

Glad they did away with the car muffler for a moderator. First thing i did when I got mine, was to deep six it and replace with a Clague. Threaded barrel is a great new addition as is the cocking lever.

As much as I love the basic platform, they've made horrible cosmetic changes, especially when it comes to their stocks

I do know for fact that the folks who run AIRFORCE / RAW silently troll the air gun forums.
All the tech applied by owners does not go unnoticed, or does the evolving tech being utilized within other brands as well.

What there doing, or even IF there doing upgrades or retrofits or even new offerings down the road is anyone's guess

Once upon a time there was stock style options....and many laminate colors besides just this charcoal and walnut shown in the pic. Sadly these stocks are long gone.

My favorite of the Martin Era stocks is my charcoal/blue deep belly FT stock...very rare indeed!

With the number of RAW’s I’ve owned (several) I prefer the TM-BM series of rifles, the HMX line are bullet proof “no pun intended” , but I agree the stock’s both chassis and laminate are not the most appealing but serve their purpose nicely.

The original stock’s that Martin fitted were beautiful.the guns are very accurate and dependable which to me is the best qualities of the gun, pull it of the safe, shoots the same as when you put there. Time and Time again.

I think that some of improvements as shown in above YouTube videos may be adopted.

Yeah, it’s a shame that Martin no longer makes the stock.
In my experience on working on these guns, if you have a pre Airforce version. Hang on to it.

Great job! Nice to see an external value adjustment as you designed and a standard SSG.
