I know this is a long shot but still wanted to ask.

Does anyone know of any stocks that are available for the Rapids? I have a .25 Rapid MK2 with a nice stock, and I really don't want to mess the stock up while walking through the woods. I have always loved the looks of the Chip Smith/ 220 Rapid stocks but I know these are like finding unicorn farts. So curious if there were any other options





Thanks in advance

Give David Slade of Airgunwerks a call...he had all kinds of stocks, won't hurt to ask, I just got a walnut stock for a Theoben Crusader from him. I had Martin make a stock for a Rapid 12 a few years ago.

Hey. You might be in luck. I might be the "unicorn" your looking for. I have a Theoben MKII rapid originally purchased used... modfied by AZ...in prestine cond. Has shrouded barrel and was tweaked (all receipts available) by AZs magic touch. I immediately started searching and modifying the PCP to mimic the infamous Swift/Chip smith tactical configuration. Bought the CS stock (took a long time and premium price), finding that rare stock (as you know)....not cheap getting the rifle to that tactical level. . See https://airgunwarriors.com/communit...ith-the-original-thumbhole-stock-need-advice/. Moved from NC to Pa and popping squirrels with my tactical monster on the back deck from my townhouse like I did in NC home would freak out neighbors I'm sure (swat team might show up after second squirrel). Been in sealed pelican case for 4 years. Still pristine as is the original. Lots of extras available with the rifle. Added bonus to consider here is a Theoben RX1 w/ Bushnell scope... trophy maybe(?) (in poor condition and needs work) that could through in if we work out good price here. Any interest?

I included some in the link... but can provide as many as you like. This rifle is awesome... had a few others a shoot it at a touement (only went once) and they were impressed. I'll warn you.. it's heavy.... but built like a tank. I like shooting with a monopod (for small game) or tripod for backyrad "sport". Prone is awesome and fun getting experience at plinking out to 100+ yards.

Here a little taste of Chip Smiths talents......
This the California Special of the Chip-Tact Stock....
I had machine this up when he did on of his runs on his stocks....

Here is another example and method for making a tactical stock for the Rapid...
This is done by Ernie aka 220Swift...from Grass Valley

220Swift was a manual machinist.... no CNC like Chip..
So his design is made from machined Aluminum plate and channel...

Ok I remember seeing that post and trying to reach out but was unable to.

Stock looks great, and would be far better than the plain jane stock I have on it now.
