    Things I liked:Pyramyd Air has an excellent service department that bent over backwards to help me with the issues we had with trying to install this conversion in my Gamo CFX.
    Things I would have changed:Make a gas piston to properly fit and operate in my Gamo CFX.
    What others should know:My CFX is an older one and the gas piston does not properly fit mine and was causing the gun to literally tear itself apart. After numerous phone calls and two trips back to Pyramyd Air, they have removed the piston and reinstalled my spring. Unfortunately, the gas piston will not work in all springers.

      Things I liked:Very fast turn-around. Has more power than the spring did. No more torque or rattle from the spring.
      What others should know:makes lightweight pellets go supersonic and sound like a rimfire. Does seem to shoot better with the heavier pellets after the change, the lighter PBA ammo makes for wider groups and the leads were nice and tight.

      Things I liked:Reliable and does not have spring fatigue.
      Things I would have changed:Can't think of anything.
      What others should know:My piston actually had some problems and jammed up after about 200 shots. Pyramid air replaced it for free after i sent it in and it works great. Probably just an unlucky piston conversion. There is still some recoil even after this conversion piston is added to your rifle, so i recommend getting a scope stop.

      Things I liked:I upgraded my Gamo Whisper with this Nitro piston conversion right after I purchased it. It is much quieter than the old spring mechanism. Smoother cocking action. It has more velocity than before.
      Things I would have changed:Nothing.
      What others should know:If you can upgrade your old or new air rifle, do it!

      Things I liked:This is such an incredible upgrade! It should be mandatory to have this. For those of you who have a gun that CAN be upgraded to the NitroPiston...do it. Keeping your springer a "springer" is literally like living in the dark ages. I did it for my Gamo Whisper; wow!! What a HUGE improvement!!
      What others should know:The feel, sound, and recoil are instantly improved. They even send back the big nasty spring so you can see it for yourself. I'm telling you truthfully you will enjoy the upgrade and the performance of your converted rifle for years to come. GET THE UPGRADE!!!!!!!

      Things I liked:I definately like the ability to leave it cocked and ready to fire with no loss of power (or damage to spring). Easy and smooth to cock. Not as hold sensative. No more Twang or Torque. Lasts much longer than any spring. Also, the techs check for proper operation of the rest of the gun. They alerted me that my safety was not operating correctly.
      Things I would have changed:The price is fair considering that the Nitro Piston is professionally installed at the PA tech shop. A before and after (10 shots ?) chrony test would be nice for those without their own chronograph. PA could offer more services while the gun is opened up, and make more money for minimal effort, such as a deburing and polishing of chamber, upgrade/replacement piston seals, etc.
      What others should know:I recently got a great deal on a lightly used (looks new) Gamo CFX .177 w/ GRT III trigger off the internet. It is very accurate and looks perfect but the Spring Twang was so bad that it was no fun to shoot (hence the great deal). Now that I've had the gas ram installed, it's so sweet I can't stop shooting it. Many Thanks PA. Others that had the conversion done to their rifle say the heavier pellets work best so I tried H&N Baracuda and Air Arms Diabolo Field Heavy.... but my CFX liked the H&N Field Target Trophy (8.64 grains) the best, with one hole groups at 25 yards. You sould also know that the gas ram is a little harsh during the first few dozen shots (break-in period) but starts to smooth out from use. I've shot mine less than 200 times and already notice a considerable difference. I would definately recomend this item to anyone that wants a serious upgrade to their power plant.

      Things I liked:Sounds much better than the spring. Great thud sound from compressed air release. You also hear your pellet in the air. Seems like its a stronger impact to target. Recoil is controllable so you feel more accurate too.
      Things I would have changed:Nope. Installation worked perfect. PyramidAir did a great job. Fast turn around.
      What others should know:Overall I would have left my big cat spring and jumped on the Titan GP had I known about the GP... Now I just have two piston guns. If you love your gun , and its nicer than mine was, upgrade it. Gas piston is the better tech.

      Things I liked:WOW, the conversion was well worth the money. The performance has increased and the spring twang/lash is gone; resulting in a much quieter and efficient air rifle.Coupled with the charlie da tuna trigger....awsome. On a recent visit home, (I was on leave(vacation) from the mil) I had the great fortune of meeting the staff. From the front office to the back, everyone was absolutely wonderful. You have a great operation and two thumbs up!!
      Things I would have changed:Although it would be nice to convert myself, I wouldn't change a thing.
