I've got a mod 95 springer and a collection of Crosman NP rams.This custom spacer allowed me to use a Crosman NP in my Edge rifle. Something similar should work in a Mod95 but i cannot confirm specific dimensions.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=196304.msg156286955#msg156286955I converted that Edge to a coil spring and sent my spacer and other parts to Tommy Boy to repair one of his Edge Vortex rifles that leaked.IMAGE:-Crosman NP1.-A custom bushing (white) that centers and properly preloads the NP1 body in the Edge.-An adapter to press on the Edge end-plug so you can use a spring compressor without mashing the thumb safety.-A long coil spring guide for Striker/Edge/Mod85/Mod95/Airtact rifles.-A long coil spring guide for Mod125/Mod135 rifles.-A thinner wire Edge trigger blade spring provides a very light first stage so you can more easily FEEL the second stage wall before piston release. Since it makes the first stage lighter the second stage weight is also a little lighter. Add a slightly longer adjustment screw and the simple Edge trigger can be adjusted to feel VERY NICE!.-Some Buna 90A o-rings for Vortex reseal.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=210040.msg156473527#msg156473527

Those parts you sent me worked out really nice mikeybBest Wishes - Tom
I had fabricated a delrin plug that was a reasonable facsimile of the end block of the Mod. 95 gas spring.It had to be cut out for the trigger assy. and needed a trough on the top for the safety.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=206261.msg156428460#msg156428460Reply #17The plug that would replace the yoke end of the Vortex unit could probably be printed.......That would make things simple..........and affordable!I may have to pursue that....

It should always be in compression so a printed part would be strong enough(?) Sadly my current need for home printed parts is too small to justify the cost/effort.
The mod 95 springer 3 hole butt plug would work.It has a nub on the front, so an additional centering spacer would be required to hold/center the NP ram.SOMEWHWEW I have seen a mikeyb chart showing dimensions of Crosman NP units, but I can NEVER locate it when I need it....
