Thank you for that info. Not as interesting as watching the sled slide backwards! I have had queues watching the 300S from behind the shooting position and asking me if I knew the action was moving in the stock!!

Anything with one piston is bound to recoil, what the shooter feels is another thing. A sliding action is a simple yet highly effective aid to accuracy.
I love the mechanical solutions that the top airgun makers came up with to get over the problems of recoil and low velocity.
In the case of two piston air guns, that's where the really clever stuff starts to shine.They are the true recoilless springers.
In my opinion, two opposing pistons canceling each other out, takes the top prize for mechanical brilliance in recoilless springers.
To prove your point Mike: see HERE (video of LG380 firing)
Agree with dvd, only the opposing piston match guns are truly recoilless and flat to shoot. Not only was it genius to invent this system but, at least with the Dianas, they managed to make the production cost low too. It's often said that Diana lost the marketing battle against FWB and also delays with getting the sidelever 75 to market cost them dear.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
There are two Original 75 Giss system 10m rifles in fairly regular use at Dukinfield and they shoot groups comparable with all the others. DM80 on this forum can sort out new seals and servicing for these.
