	Thanks for that, yes please let me know the results. I have a ruger gas ram here that looks like it could fit but it may detune it slightly which I don't mind if the accuracy improves. I love the gun as it's very Ballanced to shoot but it's recoil has destroyed my hawke scope. I am actually going to attempt rebuilding the scope when time allows...... (Yep I'm nuts) hahaha

	I had some time yesterday afternoon to pull the BSA and Ruger Air Hawke apart. The Gas ram from the Ruger is the same length as the BSA spring uncompressed. I need to machine a couple of spacers up to hold the gas ram central in the BSA and hopefully it all works. The Spring out of the BSA was under so much compression that it's all distorted which will be one of the causes of the nasty recoil. I'll keep you posted.
