Pretty cool to see these pop up on eBay. In both Red and Blue

These are super interesting because they don't have an ASA, but have a double trigger. I wonder if the bottomline is tapped for 1/8 NPT?

These look pretty roached.out. They do come with EW barrels though, which I think is pretty cool.

Since they were rentals I imagine it would be difficult to find one that wasn’t beat to hell. I guess you could polish the EW barrels to try and make them look better, but the bores likely look like the outside. Nonetheless, I would like to add them to my Raptor collection.

Probably not worth trying to make any cosmetic repairs. It would be hard to do without erasing what makes it unique in the first place. Maybe just freak bore the barrel and get the internals squared away.

Just buy an Xtreme for the same money.

i just read the ebay description and the seller did dry fire them to see if they worked. unfortunately without air so the valves may need attention.

[wthomas333]

I already have all the Xtreme models. Was hoping to one day get these and eventually another shot at a green one with green plugs, last one was in a package last fall that got destroyed in the mail and the gun never showed up.

I agree with you about keeping the original look to it. I haven’t had any luck with getting a Raptor barrel freak bored. Apparently the problem is that the insert is smaller than the diameter of the upper body tube and can slide all the way back through the body. I guess if you have an original barrel back with the orings it should hold it in place.
I have never seen an original Freak back for a Raptor, but I have to imagine it may be like a ProLite/Carbine in that the inserts get loaded from the front to prevent them from sliding back into the body?
If anyone has any additional info on that I would be interested to hear it.

You get a LAPCO spyder adapter, then a freak for a spyder. Problem solved.

Do you know the bore id of the adapter itself?

[dartamon]

I don't. I'm likely going to buy one for a project, will measure it.

Hello MR.Kitty Cat , here's some help to the question you asked.



Bore i.d specs. out at .683 ,however trying to hold everything and snap a picture it wiggled out of spec. by 1/2 a thousand. hope this helps.

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

WOW, back in the day with .69+ paint that thing had to be near useless. XD

[dartamon]

Back in the day when this was relevant, you had Marballizer and other small bore paint.

One could bore the adapter itself for Freak inserts, and then bore the barrel to be used a little shorter. I've often wanted to do this with markers with barrels which are difficult to source.
