Ordered mine in .22.
Calibre just available apparently.
Price not outrageous.

What's the price on them? I don't see them in the USA yet and am curious.

Nick, stick a nose ext on it mate...

@28mm bore, 70mm stroke should be loads. not 100, or 140, or whatever craziness it is at the moment.

And then mill some slots in the piston. lots of them. Aim to get down to 300g.

Then bring it to the Bash

£345 before haggle/discount/pleading.

Heres the thing Jon, its a 115mm stroke, that would be a 45mm extension. Could you imagine the bonkers preload? And what would the cocking effort turn into?
I didn't weigh the piston and can't be arsed to strip it again now, it didnt seem that heavy. But then I've been working with HW80's for the last couple of weeks........

Mrs Bum is out tomorrow, probably discussing shopping, kittens and periods, I'll investigate then.
