It's just a plain old Raptor, but it looks like it includes a spare valve. Those have become hard to find. For those not in the know, they're made of brass & deform somewhat easily, requiring replacement.

There's a chance the spare valve is actually shot w/a good one inside, or there's two different valves since it's got a R stamp (may be foreign, needing velocity restrictions).

Either way it's more valves, plus those nice VL tubes. As of now there's 10hrs left & it's at $10 w/no bids.

Boy, that takes me back.

I believe the R stamp was for factory refurbished models. Which means it might have a new sear and striker which are even harder to find than the valves.
The velocity nut is also backed out all the way which means maybe the main spring is still usable.

Ah. I thought the R stamp was something Germany or some other European country did for firearm law reasons. Interesting.

I think that is the F stamp up by the serial#.

Oh yeah, you're right. F is what it was. My bad.
