Fun fact, a few years back, one of our mentors ordered like a 3" bore 36" stroke cylinder to test the limits of what Bimba can make.
I have, sitting at my desk right now, a 30" stroke, 3" bore reverse acting cylinder. It's spring extend, and air pressure to retract, and could be used as a jousting lance.
