Worked on the THEOBEN MFR action yesterday. Changed out the valve/poppet, LW hammer & SSG devise.
With the LW hammer a tad over 12 fpe, factory hammer tho keeping the same SSG makes @ 21 fpe *** So yes with just a hammer swap we can hit BOTH 12 & 20 fpe power levels, tho not sure I want to being the tune being correct is a compromise for either. :unsure:

200cc BSA R-10 bottle, got a V fill/gauge manifold on order with RAW. OEM Theoben .177 barrel shortened to a tad under 15"
Some nice glass on top and we can do Pistol FT / WFTF rifle / Hunter Rifle once I get it into a RAW Chassis 🥰

Seems a nice offering to me tho I personally much prefer a more traditional look.
Yes you had to change the stock (quick and easy) to swap between rifle & pistol this old rig of David Slade's was a hoot to shoot, With the bipod and Theoben Elon (sp) bottle -110cc ? - a 50 yard target killer even with myself shooting.
Brad Troyer applying directly to target.

Or swap on the larger bottle

Unfortunately no picture with the full rifle stock.
And Jim's "too stable" so banned the following year but a real shooter for PFT

But if our local airgun store get's one of the new models in I will darn sure be willing to test drive that one too! Always nice to have more options.

Where did you buy this rifle? From Air Force or Airguns USA? Is this a custom build because it's not shown anywhere in their catalogs.

This is a new gun. You have to call air force/ raw and make a special request to purchase one.

You can email them, or call. There are three of these that are being shipped to me hopefully next week.

So, now we're finding out that we are supposed to contact them about the possible purchase of one of these?
I've got several emails into them since the "spy photos" of this first came out and they have responded promptly till this last email Nov. 6th. Still unanswered.


Does that mean that they are, or are not, going to do what they told us they would do 7 weeks ago?

Just a bit of related trivia you can relate to, Cam.

I'd hoped to capture another State Champion title at the 2023 Republic Of Texas FT Championships; however, perhaps the new RAW's first competition appearance ever (in the hands of an excellent shooter) relegated me to the First Loser title. I believe the new State Champion used a bit more impressive scope than shown in this RAW photo-

FWIW, if I was going to abandon Ol' Faithful, I'd likely forsake her for New Rapidgun.

Remember when you (and Mike N.) met Ol' Faithful at 2017 Nats? You were wielding a QB equivalent, which is how you and I met (on the practice range), and Mike was overhearing our first conversation. A photo of Ol' Faithful might help-

That seems like an eternity ago.

BTW, congratulations on your airgun customization(s) work, Bud. GOOD SHOW!(y)And thanks also for helping promote Pistol Field Target.

Happy Shooting,😁

No, you found that out when I announced it months ago in my spy photo thread. That said, sorry you've had trouble receiving a response to your inquiries. 🤬 I'd be frustrated too!

I tried; but after my announcement, the marketing was/is out of my hands. Here's hoping someone with a vested interest in selling the new RAW pistol not only reads this thread, but acts (positively) on it.

Thanks @AirNGasman, for getting that info out initially, but I was hoping that RAW would have taken the ball and run with it by now.
I'm really not mad or frustrated at anyone or any thing but it has been around 4 months now since the original post.

My first email to them was Oct. 6th and I've emailed them every several weeks or so inquiring about any new info and they've been really responsive.
Not trying to pee on anyone's leg here.........sorry if anyone took my question the wrong way.
RAW will make it public when they feel it's the right time I guess.
