Have you ever tried to shoot a springer in the dead of winter when the temperature is 5 degrees and the ground is covered in ice? The lubrication on a metal mainspring may be so thick that you cannot cock your rifle. A gas ram, on the other hand, has no lubricant and no mainspring to bind. Simply cock and shoot. Whatever the temperature is! The most crucial aspect is the absence of tension on the gas ram.
The GRT Lightning SE includes all of the new and enhanced features found on its spring-powered sibling. A redesigned two-stage trigger provides a clean release with minimum effort. A new stock with attractive checkering at the key touch points of the fore-end and pistol grip has been designed. A slim-line silencer encases the barrel and decreases muzzle blast noise, while a vented butt cushion guarantees pleasant contact with the shooter’s shoulder.
In addition to these advantages, the gas ram delivers other benefits that improve the shooter’s experience. The gas ram does not vibrate when discharged, resulting in less gun movement when the trigger is squeezed; the pellet exits the barrel faster, resulting in superior accuracy; the gas ram has a longer life expectancy than a spring, with less chance of performance deterioration due to metal fatigue, and the cocking motion is smoother and more even.
