Theoben Custom barrel adapter for FX liner
- Thread starter woogie_man
- Start date
I just recently got back my custom hm1000x from AZ
Had him fit it with the shortest barrel possible for 18jsb pellets.
Ended up with a 16” FX liner barrel. Permanent bonded with his one piece shroud.
Very pleased with the results. He did the work inside for 2 weeks…fairly responsive.

I like it so far. When I get time I will do more testing for sure. I am going to add some rings on the outside of the adapter.
Will add carbon to the outside to stiffen up and look cool. Other than that I just need to shoot the gun.

Yes sir. Will play with tooling tomorrow and see what happens.
My 25 barrel had the groves but no rings in them.

You should have all the Right Tools at the Shop...
A Sharp Grooving tool is a Must for a clean cut to Specified Depth!!
Good Luck!!

I have a few spares to play with before I cut on the actual part.
Other thing I need to look at is making a tester for the regulator. Would be nice to know exactly what pressure everything is at.

Here you go .... Rapid Reg Tester..
One end is threaded for 3/8" BSPP for the Reg to screw into...
The other end 1/8" BSPP . I attached a Foster's male QD end.
You also can attach your hose directly if you wanted too.
So this will let you use the Gauge on your Fill Tank to read the pressure!!
To test your Rapid Reg.
Attach the Reg Tester to you tank/fill hose.
Then attach the reg to the Reg Tester. Make sure the bleeder valve is closed.
Now attach a full bottle to the Reg. You can watch your tanks gauge as it approaches the Cutoff Pressure.
If you want to test operation you can open the bleeder valve for a quick blast. This will cycle your Reg.
Once you are satisfied with the reading, unscrew the bottle by 1-2 turns
Then release all in the pressure in the fitting by using the bleeder valve..

Here you go...rings added and fitted. Will test again once things get put together. Being as it's my wife's birthday I may not get to it today, but I will try.

A little helping hint of assembly of your Rapid with O-ring on the barrel adapter.
Push the barrel assembly through until the the 1st groove is visible, install it's O-ring.
Now keep on pushing until the 2nd groove appear... install the 2nd O-ring.
So now pull your barrel assembly into position and secure...
If you try install the O-ring first. Then push the barrel through.
Those O-ring will get sliced by the Barrel Pinch Clamp channel!!!!
Good Luck

I think I just did that Stuart! I got everything in the rifle and tested and I am still getting air blow by. So thinking I damaged the rings when pushing them in.
I will grab some more and try again. lol Though I am shooting pellets through the system so that is a good thing
My goal would be to tune the rifle untill there is little to no sound coming from the rifle. Ideally looking for around 12-15 ftlb for usage in my yard and close areas of hunting.

Hey we learn from our screw-ups.... being an engineer.. we do this alot!!!
Also if you wanting to go full stealth mode....
The Guys in the UK use a Delrin Pip on the hammer!
Here is one I experimented with.... Titanium with a Delrin striking surface
