I'm learning so much from this and your other videos. My Hatsan Mod 125SN Sniper Spring Piston .25 cal in Mossy Oak Camo arrived today. Checking it out and doing a little break-in. It might be a good one. Now I own 3 125 Springers in .25. I'm gearing up to work on them soon and have the break-barrel/air-gun Guru Mr. Mike E. work on em too. This particular video has me now understanding a good amount about how they work. Thanks Mike!

In the video where I open up a gas ram I found oil in side so I doubt now if the shock oil is even necessary, but I I am sure it dosen't hurt. I hope you have a good one so many came out with bad barrels its ridicules how many problems some have. hatsan tries I seen improvement but they still manage to come thru defective and need to be returned Take care Mike

suggestion, when installing front piston seal. find a nice chrome 3/8 deep socket that is about the diameter if that front piston button, usually a 10m, 7/16 or 1/2. Set the new seal on hard surface facing up press the socket into the seal. Line the socket to piston button, just slide it on. Easy YW

Huge amount of useful info e.g. re. pre-loading distance, all the measurements, adapter etc. - I am doing this on a different gun right now, but you have saved me a lot of problems and I will be more confident that the outcome will be OK. Very big thanks! There are many videos on the web that are quite useless, yours stands out as very useful :) Just one question - re lubing the ram shaft - many people say you should not do it at all. How can you be sure that you can? Yes, if I was doing it, I would also use a high-ignition point lubricant (silicone based e.g. special chamber oil), but I am still reluctant to do it... Thank you

the rams shaft - arm ... the important thing is to wipe it down so its clean & inspect for nicks, lubing the arm I do it, its no big deal but I feel it just adds something to bear metal, 99% of what ever you use will get wiped back when the rams closes so you only need to use a little on your fingers and work it on the shaft silicone base is fine, heck I use weapon shield since its at my work bench nothings going to explode lol inside the ram is some type of junky hatsan fluid I rebuild the rams when I do someone's gun but I wont share that info.

Hi Bill ok what is type two piston? #1 the gas ram must be long enough to be able for the rod to close up with out bottoming out for the full cocking of the gun and #2 the gas ram has to have pre load so when its installed the end plug is sticking out no less than 1/8 or the gas ram will reach its travel when fired causing the rod to hit its end damaging it and failure #3 yes you need to make a spring compressor or send it to me and I will re build the original gas ram properly so it wont fail and return the receiver with ram installed. if your installing another gas ram if its to short then you need to machine a round steel insert with a divot for the rams arm to seat in the middle so everything reaches the proper install point

You'll be surprised how many people have trouble replacing seals on pistons. Just the other day I was reading an a forum here in UK, about a guy who was desperately trying to find advice on how to do that successfully. He had wrecked a seal already and he was on his second one. He said he tried everything, watched every video and read every advice he could.: hot water, pressing, pulling, upside down, etc. A lot of people were trying to teach him, yet he could not do it. Imagine how frustrating that could be. Obviously, he didn't see Mike's video. That's why I appreciate this man and I can see where he is coming from, because he cares so much about others.

check the bottom of the piston see if they drilled a divot for a ram. yes you will need something to keep the ram on center just enough to do the job. the divot adapter needs to stay at the bottom of the piston other wise it could cause a issue On some hatsan rifles I was able to drill the bottom of the piston, using a new long drill bit , and a 3/4" deep centering ring I made to keep the drill bit centered while inside the piston. I use round steel stock tuned down to the rite width to drop into the piston with a divot drilled in the center But usually the thickness must be minimum , I think on my hatsan 125 the thickness could be no more the 5/16" and it was a divot not a hole thru the round steel piece. you need to lay out so you known what your piston travel is and how much room you have left for the end adapter so the pis'ton dont hit it when it comes back to be cocked etc. other wise if you drilled out your pistons bottom it may cause you to add a longer end adapter that will interfere with the pistons face hitting it during cocking

No charts, you have to figure out what is your piston travel is so you know the length of your rams rod needed and what the remaining length is for the body and adapters if needed then look into what might work for you. bigger magnums may take the crosman xl ram and smaller rifles may take the crosman nitro venom gas ram , its better if you know the info including diameter of the ram. crosman rams are inexpensive so not much money lost if you get the smaller one to see if it will work if you can't get that info

hi there i would like to find out some knowledge, can you manually fill gas rams? can you fill them to supercede the standard velocities of the rifle? can you buy them as an individual part? how risky is this and how much is too much? thank you.

+piero muro You can buy commercial gas rams how ever they cost a lot more and I found the money was not worth it and the little bit of extra power was not worth the extra cocking effort or the rougher shot cycle. the Crossman Xl gas rams I( found to perform the best with just the rite power and cocking. also commercial gas rams if some one bought them you would have to buy the special costly adapt[ers to fill and discharge the rams so it really is a waste

Hi the thing with the hatsan magnums is the piston seal , all of them although the Russian ones I heard are a little bigger which will fit tighter which is needed and you would have to see Iam not up on the .30 cal often when guys increase pressure in the vortek ram they gain some but increase the piston slam more making it counter productive

I don't know if they are the same size or not. I'm not sure if you would even know but, I'm trying to find out of I can swap them and if I will have enough room in the Proxima. I'm not sure if you can answer this but, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks in advance!

Mike Ellingsworth** Mr Stepping Stone*** So, I actually got in contact with Hatsan USA. They say that the Vortex in the Proxima is a "Type 7" and the Vortex in the 125 and 135 are a "Type 2" they went on to say that the "length of throw would be too long to be effective" and the "diameter is wrong." I'm wondering if there is any way around this... My interest in the Proxima is primarily due to the fact that I proposed a prototype 2 years ago in my Facebook group which, back then was the first High Power/Custom Air Gunning group on Facebook. I'm aware that saying I'm essentially the guy who proposed the Proxima is a lengthy claim but, here's a link to my proposal for my prototype which is actually still the pinned post for the group. Luckily it's time stamped and, I had already been designing the rifle about a year before I decided to ask for assistance with the build. Anyone who thinks I'm lying or crazy can check it out themselves. I can't be mad at Hatsan because my life has been extremely unstable for about the past 18 months and there's no way I could have built a working model either then or now. m.facebook.com/groups/811880912291495?view=permalink&id=840739252738994&ref=bookmarks I'm hoping to figure out a way to drop in a Magnum Ram and pump up the FPE capabilities. While my hope is to figure out a way to stick with the Vortex line due to it using air and the ability to tune the pressure in the Vortex Rams, I am also willing to look at either another type of Gas Ram (maybe one of the new Gamo Magnum IGT Rams OR, I may find a company to design a higher output Ram that will fit the Proxima. I look at it like this: Hatsan basically did all the hard work. Now all I have to do is buy a Proxima and tune it to my preferred specs. Thanks for getting back to me so fast! I was really happy to see your reply! Thanks again, God Bless!

I believe you. There are companies who search and read air gun related post for Ideals and mods , you bet lol well I once tested gas rams way back with the hatsan 125 - 135 both would take the same size larger gas ram this company I dealt with below and they would charge the ram to my asking. I found with the bigger ram for the 125 & 135 that 170 bar fill was the cut off after that it was hard to cock and the cronied fps where to iratic you can experiment pull the ram out of the proxima look for that size for example the crosman nitro venom gas ram is the smaller one used in the hatsan 95 and the crosman XL benjamin gas ram was the larger size for the 125 - 135 / you'll also have to see how hatsan made the proxima. on the hatsan rammed break barrel part of the end plug was permanently apart of the gas ram which makes it difficult to use another ram unless you make another end plug, get them from hatsan usa from a springer and make your own adapter this stuff cost time and money god knows its cost me alot ,its a never ending money pit. this company uses nitro but you could get one charged to your liking do google search for overseas rams they use in air guns to get a ideal on the bar level used in the smaller rams www.specialspringsna.com/ also a spring is 50 fps faster over the gas ram nothing wrong with a spring

Mike Ellingsworth** Mr Stepping Stone*** Thanks for the excellent info sir! I like the Gas Rams for all the usual reasons. The Vortex especially because of its tuning abilities utilizing a pump. Now I'm wondering if Hatsan won't end up putting out a Magnum version of the Proxima and I MAY end up waiting for them to up the power output. Now, I was looking at the specs on the new Gamo Magnum IGT and, I think THAT might be EXACTLY the Ram I want to use. I don't know the specs on it yet, I'm looking it up as we speak. I would bet my life that it's a much different size than the Vortex BUT, if there's a way I could modify the Proxima to take that Ram and function as it does (obviously there will be a major difference in cock in effort but, I'm a pretty stocky guy) I will just replace the Vortex with the Gamo and call it a day.

But if one reads fine print on Hatsan USA website it clearly states they will not pay for shippin under ANY circumstances, ya might get the labor free, but not shippin, for me it was 26$ round trip from NC to Ark. which was much less than i thought it would be. Mine are all Gems right outta the box. They were really good at correspondence on any issue, sometimes answered me w/ in hours.
