Theoben Theoben Rapid MKII repair

[fboz]

I have a Theoben that needs repair (resealed).
Would you send yours to Martin at Airguns USA or to David at Airgun Werks?
I’m sure both are very qualified. I appreciate any comments or advice.

If regulated ? ... It does get a bit more involved and procedures do need to be followed as to not screw up the settings / adjustments

Send it to Martin. He is the originator of the Rapid when he was at Theoben.

Well For those History Buffs..
Theoben was founded by Ben Taylor and David Theobald....
Their first innovative Design was the Gas Ram powered Break Barrel..Sirocco..
Next was the Rapid 7(for 7 shot mag)....
Well the rest is History....literally....
