RAW REPORT

[SpiralGroove]

Hey Guys,

Doing some harmonic tuning of my barrel which assumes all other issues have been sorted out in the gun. 

- However, I've never shot anything but JSB's through my .22/.25 cal. RAW's and slugs.

Question:

Have folks found other pellets performing better out of RAW poly barrels other than JSB's or AA pellets?

With the current pellet shortages I haven't ventured out to buy other brands which could be a mistake?

Since the above referred post may be interesting for those who have subscribed RAW REPORT , I find it appropriate to share the link of my new post on RAW upgradation here too.

I have this combo and both the original monsters and redesigned monsters in 13.43gr will produce 1/2" groups at 55 yards. I haven't shot further than this since I only use the rifle for FT.

 

[john79]

thanks for that, 55 yards is the max i would be shooting over this side of the pond, this will be a sub 12 f/lb rifle i mainly use 8.44 grn pellets in ft .

Adding my name to the RAW group, as I purchased my first RAW yesterday from a North Carolina gun store. Looks beautiful in the pics, I hope it works as well. I do have an email into Martin to set up an appointment to get the rifle completely worked over after it arrives. These are the pics from the Hyatt Police Gun store website:

Wow, you SCORED!!! That stock is gorgeous. The shroud looks like an AZ creation maybe???

Looks like an original RAW to me. At least I have seen the exact model before the HMx series & such. Personally like the titanium sleeved barrel but you could ( and still canf rom airgunsusa) get what you want.

Wasn’t aware raw ever did fully shrouded barrel? 

 

[nomojo65]

Love mine! The Red laminate TM was the one I let get away, I’ve regretted it every since…

The walnut stocked TM is the newest style with the thimble and aluminum shroud, Martin doesn’t use the Ti barrel shroud anymore, does have the Ti air tube.

Gorgeous RAW collection Nomojo!

 

[DRAGON64]

Excellent collection of RAW rifles, love the walnut stocked model!!

So I got this new laptop, and I was transfering my data from the old computer to the new. I was browsing my field target pictures, and low and behold, I found some pics from 2015 at a GOB field target match:

Martin watching shooters at the site in range...

Sandra shooting her TM1000 at the site-in range...

Martin watches on from behind Roz Sumpter (Roz's Hollow aka GOB) as Sandra ranges her target with her TM1000...

Legacy Raw Report?

Just a few Martin made RAWs from yesterday's Bench rest match.at Sherwood Airgunners in Steubenville Ohio. My two RAW's just happen to win both Heavy and Lite Varmint class with scores of 749 -46X and 748-45X. View attachment IMG_20220228_094412_310.1646094649.jpg

Kdog, do you still own that beautiful blue TM? I love that gun!

 

[woogie_man]

Have my rifle off to martin right now to go over and get set up better. Hoping to get the rifle back and have it shooting great.

Lets call it an "early" RAW

I'm considering letting this beauty go. I moved last July and no longer have an easy place to shoot it. The groups were shot at my old back yard range which maxed out at 48 yards, but it is deadly accurate well beyond that range. Martin custom built this one for me several years ago. I have the original invoice somewhere. The barrel is 2" shorter than the standard RAW HM barrel, but it will still easily and accurately make 40 ft/lbs. It was tuned by Martin about a year ago and has barely been out of its case since. It's by far the best air rifle I've owned, and I've owned most of them. I'm posting here rather than the classifieds because I haven't quite convinced myself to part with her. It currently has an Arken SH-4 Gen II scope on it (not the one pictured). If someone who appreciates original RAW quality and precision is interested in giving it a good home where it will see regular use, PM me and we can talk about it. Michael, if this is crossing the line by posting this in this forum please just delete it.

I find it curious that most still refer to RAW’s as pre AirForce or not made by Martin? I just had a TM I ordered about a yr. Ago. They directed me to Sandra for questioning about stock and shroud and moderators CARBON FIBER or ALUMINUM because Martin no longer uses Ti shrouds this is also when I found out that they weren’t offering laminate stocks, if I wanted wood it would have to be Walnut. Also every TM or BM would have a thimble.

My question is, if Sandra had to talk to Martin and then get back with me or AirForce for these details, I believe “my gun” TM and BM’s anyway were still built and tested by Martin. Manual, boxing, receipt all looked the same as any other RAW I’ve purchased over the years.

I just bought a HM1000x and inquired about this and was told every gun goes through Martin’s hands for accuracy testing etc.
