Oh, they become multi-thousand dollar precision air rifles soon enough, and then you will need a good scope.It's an Airgun, not a multi-thousand dollar precision rifle. You want good but you don't have to shell out for it.
Thats exactly hoy my hp 177 acted going under 20 fpe at 80 bar shooting 13 gr the only real adjustment i got was with tiny reg changes then i went to the lightest hammer spring in the kit and now i shoot at 100 bar pw 12 and have a lot of adjustment. Check with aoa but i think the hammer springs are the same. They have a kit ($60) with a bunch of different springsDon’t know. Don’t have a Ghost. Seems to be set for maximum power from the factory.
Thanks for your insight.I have a Leshiy 2 .30 and it’s my favorite gun. I had my doubts at first, but I’ve come to believe the L2 can be very reliable. But it’s a complicated system with a lot of small parts and (inherently) there’s a lot that can go wrong. Fortunately, there are a lot of helpful resources to help you diagnose and resolve problems. Nevertheless, it’s not a gun I would recommend to someone who is afraid to get into it and tinker with it. If you have some mechanical aptitude and you’re brave enough to become your own armorer (i.e., parts swapper), you will have a solid platform with the L2. Plus, owing to its modularity, by design, it’s geared toward those who like modify and change things. If all this sounds like one big self-contradiction…maybe, for starters, a semi-auto isn’t what you are after. In any case, regular maintenance is actually very easy on this platform. But, to answer your question specifically, I have had a problem with indexing that I resolved with a turn and half (small, incremental adjustments) on a set screw. I’ve had to replace o-rings occasionally, which is really easy on the L2. And, I had regulator creep issues before switching to the Huma Raptor. Switching the regulator was also really easy (less than 20 minutes). That’s it. It has been very reliable for me.
Thanks a lot !VK make sample packs of 50ct you can try. And he makes them in .1771 as well as .178
H&N .1775
JSB KO .1776
Griffin .177
I also have a bunch of slugs if you want to try some out.
How often do you clean the barrel?
Is the hammer spring the same as the ghost? Thats why i went to the lighter spring in the 30 and my hp 177 which is exactly how the 177 acted trying to go under 20 fpeI lowered the reg pressure to 115 bar, in order to shoot the .30 cal 44.75 at about 900 fps. I’m not familiar with this tune, since almost all positions on the power wheel give the same power give or take a few fps. Maybe this is why reg was 145 bar at factory to allow a wide range of power with just the power wheel. (And it does go from sub 800 all the way to over 960 with factory tune). But to get the smoothest most consistent power delivery (low ES/SD) I wanted to lower reg to play well with the hammer. So I’m getting 8 shots at 900 +\- a few fps. It’ll be different that what you are used to. Not good or bad, just different.
I’ve got the Crosman M1 as well and it’s way more frugal with the CO2 than the Umarex is. It’s nowhere near as solidly built however.The crosman is a co2 pig as well. Looking at the internals it's possible to remote line the thing with some serious mad scientist work since there's a gas tube going down the side of the action from the factory twin co2 tube. Probably about as bad as pcp converting a 1322 thru the side ( been there).
Since you've been thru the armory, there's no excuse for these replica guns to be harder to deal with than rebuilding the things you saw in the armory from torch cut parts and removing the nfa bits.
Crosman currently has my gun, and I've had time to think about what I found. Mim or die cast aluminum parts being asked to do the job of hardened steel components in a firearm fcg. They half heartedly put a steel tab on the bcg to help, but the breaking surfaces get mushroomed really fast. The day I shipped mine off I found a potential solution in tolerances in the fcg/selector/safety. If I held the safety cocked downward with significant force, the gun would cycle and lock back.
The service rep on the phone assured me it's been a reliable model but that's subjective and I don't believe him with that internal construction.
Attached is the metal tab cast in place to reduce wear, which would work if it were the entire contact surface.... It isn't.
It was accurate and fun enough I would've paid 250-300 for it if it had some improvements in the fcg, and gas options. Like an adapter that could be remote lined at a table for extended plinking that came out where a sling swivel conventionally does or just behind the grip. I've never had a smooth bore bb shooter be as accurate as this was since the mid 90s.

Did spell check get you or is there another aspect to this hobby I don’t know about yet?!“ The bourbon tubes on all import gauges are going to get a memory or are completely..”
The Donny machining is nicer, the STO is adequate.How is the machining quality on the silent thunder Moderators? I was tempted to purchase one awhile back but bought a donnyFL for my .50
OkayHello Hunter,
I just sent you a personal message; but in case you haven't figured out the personal messaging thing, we'll just remove the obstacles here and now.
I'm on 30 acres of airgunning paradise 4 miles south of Laguna Park on FM 56. Feel free to call me.

I have heard via an old timer that at least one Hft competitor was permanently escorted off the course when it was discovered that he had modified the magnification ring to indicate a lower mag than he was actually using… sigh…..per AAFTA rules: any shooter who notices his shooting partnersuse a scope magnification greater than 16x are, by rule, allowed to choose between a) a vigorous wedgie applied to the offending shooter, or b) a properly moistened pinkie applied in the ear of the offending shooter. Pretty much takes care of that.
