Talk to Tyler at PA, as far as I know, they still do gas ram upgrades using the Crosman gas rams.
Benjamin Trail XL Gas Spring. Part # BT1500-00-2 Fits the 125/135 Hatsans.
scp52,You really cover all Edge's . Now, I am toward the Edge (.22) rather than 95. I would like to know your recommendation to pick pellet brand / weight for a group test for Hatsan Edge. How many size and what are they?
I vote for the JSB Kings 15.39 gr. but plain ol' Crosman PHP 14.3 gr. do well in mine also.
... Octane's power level... I wasn't sure I would like an ultra-magnum, but it quickly became one of my go-to plinkers. I didn't find it hard to cock or shoot, and it really shines when taking shots past 50 yards.
The usual go to brands to try at the start are H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66 grain (my Edge .22 likes the 5.53 head size) or JSB in either the Jumbo RS 13.43 or like Ed aka Old Corps said, the JSB Exact 15.89. I have all 3 and they all shoot very well in all my .22's.
The ram for the NP2 is $8.00, you can't get much cheaper than that. Also much easier to replace.
Pyramyd Air currently has the Hatsan Edge Vortex .22 on sale for $99.99, plus the Touchdown-16 10% off code and if you're a first time buyer, they give you another 10% so you should be able to get it for $80.

I had that AR look a like and you can forget the open sites. it has a shroud around the barrel only glued and after 30 shots it rotates and can be taken off. sent 3 back all the same sent the last one to crosman with $75 and they sent me a 22 discovery. isn't it something where most guys want a canon to start with even firearms. you are one of the few that need a thumperWas out shooting my MRT77 today with open sites and was getting some nice groups at about 12 yards. Never had a problem with the shroud coming loose and have at least a 1000 rounds through it now. I like it. Trigger pull is long and it's hold sensitive.

Gump, the NP2 piston is indeed $8.00, per Crosman CS, but it only fits the NP2. From others that have ordered one, I think the NP, or XL piston is around $40.00 from Crosman.
