My ORION 22cal now fitted with a Gas Ram!
My ORION 22cal now fitted with a Gas Ram!
It’s a wish fulfillment come true - Gas Rams will soon be available in India!
PRECIHOLE had a few Prototype Gas Rams made & were getting ready to field test them and one was fitted into my Orion for testing.
I was truly amazed at the time taken to fit it – The Spring assembly was taken out and the Gas Ram inserted all in a matter of minutes at the PRECIHOLE’S factory!!!
I doff my cap at their foresight in designing the Orion / Pegasus in such a way that the process of removing the Spring kit & fitting the Gas Ram turned out to be like “Removing a pencil cell from a remote & putting in a new one”!!!
I put a little over 200 pellets with it using both 14gr & 15gr and the experience: turned out to be:
1. Smooth & Positive cocking
2. Crisp trigger release
3. No palpable vibration
4. Very short lock time
5. Consistency in velocity / accuracy
Shooting with a Gas Ram fitted Orion marked a welcome change & experience in the way the AR behaved.
Gas Ram comes with a capability to accept heavier pellets with ease & requires minimum maintenance as compared with Springers, thereby extending the life of the AR and providing loads of shooting pleasure!
I get a feeling that a lot of excitement is about to surface amongst the AR shooting fraternity – where / when / how etc. does one go about getting one….
PRECIHOLE will announce its availability shortly.
Attached is a pre-view pic of PRECIHOLE’s Gas ram.

Re: My ORION 22cal now fitted with a Gas Ram!
It’s a good news for my Pegasus as it velocity is decreased around 50 fps after 4-4.5 K shots
Gas Ram will be a power booster for Pegasus to maintain its original velocity for longer period

Re: My ORION 22cal now fitted with a Gas Ram!
Wow!! Finally a very good news for all shooters, no need of worrying about the time to take the shot after cocking, and also mainly about changing the springs regularly.
Any idea about the velocity of the gas ram ?

Brihaji,
you beat our guesses
Good to know the Indian air rifle manufacturers are now going places.

Re: My ORION 22cal now fitted with a Gas Ram!
I don’t think Precihole will make gas ram to boost the power above 12 ft-lbs mark & as I know DOC he will make sure that no one can easily increase the gas presser to increase velocity

Re: My ORION 22cal now fitted with a Gas Ram!
Brihaji, by any chance is this Ram based on the Thoben design? I guess you know on what basis I am asking.

Briha .....would be interesting to know the specifications.
that's a very stable looking design for the piston.
