Recoil-less Spring-Piston Airgun?Ideas, comments, and pro-positive suggestions welcome.TIA! No not me! I am not going to spend that kind of money on any AG. That’s just me!HM
I am very intrigued by the thought of a current production one. That being said, it comes down to the variables. For my 800 donuts, it would have to be beautiful, capable of producing 12ish FPE, have a lefty compliant configuration, and not take a rocket surgeon to change springs and seals. I would rather it not look like the quintessential boring sporter but have a crossover target/hunter look with vertical grip, adjustable comb, and stippling. It should be both iron sight and scope friendly and sent to me immediately for testing . Above all, it should be breathtakingly accurate. Perhaps I ask too much?
So many variables!I have 3 giss rifles, two of which are off for professional rebuild. When said and done, I’ll have a great deal of money into these rifles. So, in a way, I’ve spent nearly that much on older versions of the giss system. The giss system is like no other spring rifle I’ve ever shot. It is a marvel of ingenuity. I can only imagine what a modern interpretation would be like. I am very intrigued by the thought of a current production one. That being said, it comes down to the variables.

Yes. With some conditions. First, needs to do about 12fpe. Second, fit and finish worthy of an $800 springer. I'm talking FWB Sport, TX200, or HW97/77 fit and finish, not typical RWS/Diana fit and finish. I don't like painted metal like the Diana guns have. Not do I like the stamped metal parts common on the Diana guns. I'd like to see finely blued metal and laminate and/or Walnut options too, for maybe some more money. I think a nicely done beech stock with finely blued metal with a recoiless GISS system that puts out 12fpe for $800 would be a hit. I think upgrades to walnut/laminate stocks for another couple hundred bucks would sell too, not as many but if I'm spending that kind of money I'd pay another $200 for a laminate or Walnut stock. Don't get me wrong, you make a recoiless springer in the $800 range that does 12fpe and is nicer than typical Diana and the only option is beech stock...... I'll buy it even though it has a beech stock. Get Minnelli involved-they can make a beech stock look pretty decent.
