New sterling arms Gas Ram

[Rob Edge]

That side lever is one seriously ugly duckling I'm sure they will be accurate and an amazing feat of engineering, but I think I would have to take leave of my senses to spend £1200 on such an ugly beast lol. Still beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose

My thoughts exactly. I have a Prosport and simply no comparison can be made. If you want a masterpeice then AA already did it.

Yes but only by copying HW

I can't recall a HW with a concealed underleaver, which one was it?

Venom Mach-2 (not an HW), vaguely copied as the Pro-Sport?

Well said that man, and who was it that HW copied the 77 from?

Also show me any HW that is as good looking and can perform as good as a Prosport out of the box (don't bother answering as there isn't any)

Interesting idea and great to see a new British rifle!

I am a big fan of recoilless (twin opposing piston) springers however I believe that this idea is not new and a rammer prototype has been made by Ben Taylor before, have a look at these links:

Bengarzy = Ben Taylor (As in TheoBEN) for those that don’t know. Ben talks about issues with the rams and patents that have been taken out; I am not sure if this may cause any patent issues, but as Theoben no longer exists, maybe not?
Hopefully this rifle will come into production, but considering that someone like John Whiscombe (who is a Genius) took years of research to produce his guns which could still be further improved, I would think that a lot more research and planning is required before this comes into full production.

How long will it be before we see it in production?

It would be great to see more pics of this gun. Do both pistons produce power like on a Whiscombe?

Will this gun be a single cocking gun or double/triple like the Whiscombe? Single would be preferred I guess, and that’s why the massive side lever?

The Park only had 1 power producing piston and was a single cocking gun, but it struggled to produce 12ftlbs in .177.

Good luck with this project and please keep us posted!

I far as I could gather both pistons working together (opposing) and both cooked with a single stroke - the really clever part. I was speaking to the designer and he said he had put 6000 hours into perfecting this design so it's not an over night dream. Not sure how long before production sorry.
