   The few I looked at sometimes had one caliber but not in all of them   
   offered. I suspect that a "refurb" may be a better working gun than   
   a new one off the shelf.   
      
   Was also a bit annoyed to "see" my gun had been worked on when I got it   
   back. IMO a factory authorized repair shouldn't be detectable to my   
   eye other than an obvious new part installed. I could discern disturbed   
   hardware just glancing over it.    
      
   I tried hard to make any repair I made invisible to scrutiny when I   
   was doing warranty work, or any work for that matter.   
      
   Of course I could have bought a Weihrauch HW97k in .25 for 3x the   
   price of the Hatsan😆️

   They also have a " Theoben gas ram system" which accepts a pump   
   that can adjust ram pressure.
