New sterling arms Gas Ram

[nurek]

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!
