magicniner Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It's like the gas struts which hold up bonnets, boots & tailgates, replaces a spring with a lump of compressed gas dehind a piston. It replaces the spring, the outward function of the rifle is the same, underlever or break action, you're just compressing gas not a spring, Regards, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airssassin Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I fitted a gas ram to my .177 lightening XL and it made a hell of a difference. It reduces recoil, reduces lock time (the time between pulling trigger and the pellet leaving the barrel) which improves accuracy massively. Also quieter, nicer noise, easier to cock and mantainance free. Can you tell I'm a fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
