[ I know a few of you were interested in the results of a gas ram coversion in a springer. Well, at least it didn't work out at all for me; the gas ram and piston went in and the pin that holds everything together went into its hole, but the screw hole at the bottom of the metal cap that holds the ram, was mis-aligned with the hole at the bottom of the receiver. The difference was about 1mm!!!!i changed my g1 like i said and all you need to do is file a small amount from the rear hole in the compression tube and the screw will go in and the rifle will work fine i actually forgot i had to do that bit its not a big deal...dave
