Description

This Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol is an EU17 replica which comes out of the box with a Red Dot Sight installed for rapid target acquisition. The RIF is constructed with a tough Alloy slide and a high-density Polymer frame which is not only robust but offers fantastic grip even when wearing gloves. The frame can be made wider for those with bigger hands by installing the included back straps to the back of the grip.

Do you need a Two-Tone Pistol in a hurry? This replica is painted at the Factory and is ready to ship today with no delay! As the pistol is two-toned by the manufacturer you do not have to wait the time for a two tone service to be completed, and can order this pistol on a next day service ready for the weekend's skirmish!

The main feature of this series of pistols is the included Red Dot Sight, which comes pre-installed at the rear of the slide, to offer rapid target acquisition, easy sight picture and most importantly: it looks absolutely amazing! The light-enhancing Ironsights have been redesigned so that they can be seen through the Dot Sight should you ever run out of battery mid-skirmish, so that you can keep on fighting. The Dot Sight is easily controlled from two push buttons on either side and comes with a handy tool to make adjustments to Windage and Elevation (Up/Down, Left/Right), so that you can have your pistol shooting spot on the mark.

Underneath the frame, you will find a 20mm Tactical Rail which is ready for your Torches, Lasers or anything else you can throw at it. The end of the barrel features an 11mm CCW female thread which will let you install Thread Adaptors and Suppressors, should it not already be stylish enough for you out of the box!

The pistol features an adjustable hop-up unit, designed to increase the range and accuracy of your pistol. The hop-up works by touching the fired BBs with a small rubber contact patch which causes the BBs to spin and displace air around them as they travel, this creates a more stable and accurate flight pattern. The hop is fully adjustable to suit a wide range of BB weights and types.

The pistol is powered by Green Gas and throws out 0.20g BBs at 295FPS (average) with a strong recoil, and can be modified to fit CO2 magazines for cold weather shooting. The CO2 magazines are really handy for when Winter rolls in and Gas Pistols start to struggle with the cold weather; you can be sure that your pistol still fights through it where others will fail. On the underside of the frame is a trigger lock safety which is activated by pulling the black tab to the rear, which will then lock the trigger and stop the pistol from firing.

Special Instructions

The RAVEN EU Series magazine release can sometimes require bedding in when new. If you find the magazine of your EU series pistol falls out or does not lock into place, we suggest the following steps: 

  • Tap the magazine on the baseplate firmly after insertion. This ensures the magazine catch engages with the cutout on the magazine to retain it properly. You can check whether this has worked or not by looking at the magazine release button. If the magazine is fully locked, the button should protrude on the left side and be flush with the grip on the right side. 
  • Bed the magazine catch in. This can be achieved by locking the slide back and inserting and removing the magazine repeatedly several times. 

Please note that the sight battery is not included. The specific battery you will need is a CR2032 3V 'Button' Battery.
