LeopardtrackBeeman R10 Gas Piston?
I have a 20 year old Beeman R10 that is in great condition.
I would like to replace the main-spring with a gas-piston...similar to the RX-1 and Cro-Magnum but I can't seem to find anyone who does it.
Any of you have a suggestion for me?
PS: I had an old R1 with a gas piston but I sold it to pay for a Benjamin Marauder...BIG MISTAKE!

Bill/OregonLeopard, might check with these folks:
http://vortekproducts.com/ourstore/The old Beemans are things of beauty. I did briefly have a .25 Marauder and was very impressed with how quiet, accurate and powerful it was. I had just had back surgery, however, and operating the Hill pump was not in my best interest.

LeopardtrackIm going to check out your link, thanks!
Me too...I have a Marauder and its a pain in the ass to have to either pump it or fill a scuba tank which isn't good for more than a few full charge fills.
I might sell the R10 and Marauder and buy a used RX2

jdollarIf you have access to a firehouse compressor, get a used SCBA 88cu.ft firemans bottle( eBay has tons of them for sale). They fill to 4500psi, giving literally dozens of fills for a Marauder.
