I recently contacted Deadlywind to ask if they might be able to easily make an adapter for the Raptor.
Within a day of me sending in some pictures and measurements they had taken an old Angel threaded adapter and made something we hoped would fit a Raptor for more or less a proof of concept.
I got it in the mail a couple days later and it didn’t quite fit right due to trying to re-thread a standard thread over a similar, but not exactly the same metric thread.
After a bit of light sanding and filing to clean it up a little, I was able to get it to fit.
If it was made from scratch I think it could use a couple tweaks and obviously the fit would be spot on, but since it’s impossible to find anything using freak inserts to fit a Raptor, I’ll take it for what it is.
Overall this was just to really see if it was possible and it is with a little extra work. And a big shout out to Colin at Deadlywind for the awesome customer service.
