QUOTE: Originally posted by SPFan I have the Gem model. It has never been a great runner. This topic was posted before. I've been told its due to the springing used. The Gem has a hair spring vs the more typical coil used on most sprung brass models. If you can't find one and are interested in mine let me know. Consider it a project. Pete
