Theoben / Rapid Air Weapons Slide Loader

Regular price £9.15 Sale

Calibre

A simple slide loader that allows easier single shot loading than a tray. The loader must be tilted up and manoeuvred into position from the right hand side of the gun. Once in place a pellet is placed in the exposed hole, the loader slid across and the gun loaded. After shooting the bolt is pulled all the way back, a pellet inserted in the other hole, slide across etc..

This version contains an o ring to hold each pellet in place and allow loading while the gun is at any angle.

Available in 177, 20 and 22, 25, 30 and 357. (30 and 357 untested).

Please note that that the barrel position in Theoben guns varies depending upon how they have been adjusted. These loaders allow up to 1.5mm of protrusion (0.2mm more than a Theoben magazine). The barrel adjustment can cause two issues:

1. If the barrel protrudes too far then the loader will be very tight or difficult to get in position.

2. If the barrel does not protrude enough then it will leave a small gap between the loader and the barrel. Some users have reported that their pellets have jammed in this gap. If this happens do not attempt to force the pellet. Remove the pellet using a cleaning rod or similar. All loaders are tested using new pellets to ensure that a pellet will drop through without any resistance.

Barrels can be adjusted by loosening the barrel location and clamp screws, inserting a magazine and sliding the barrel so that it fits snugly, tightening up the screws and re-checking the fit. Search on Google for instructions. Alternatively please feel free to rub down the back of the adaptor with some fine sandpaper on a flat surface.

Double loader.

Perfect for pellets test instead of using a magazine. Also a little faster and not as fiddly as a single shot tray.

Perfect works a treat

Just had two items from SMW for my FX Typhoon and for my Theoben Rapid 7. Both absolutely spot on and excellent communication.

Slide it in

I didn't know these things existed until I spotted a used one for sale on ebay, for more than they're sold for new on here! When I first fitted it, it was a slack fit and the bolt wouldn't close, I thought I'd received a .177 instead of a .20 slide. This wasn't the case, the pellets are held by an O ring and my first mistake was to try and close the bolt on an empty chamber, the O ring won't allow the probe to close, there has to be a pellet in to lift the O ring. The second point is the loose fit, this is a bonus, not a problem, for two reasons. Firstly, the slide can be made to move over by canting the rifle with the bolt open, allowing the next pellet to be loaded without having to touch the slide. It also means I don't have to adjust the rifle if I want to use my 12 round magazine, which probably won't be often now I have this 2 shot slide.

Item wasn't expensive so didn't expect the world it does its job but rather loose in the breach,
