Just shows I don't know up from down. I'm blaming it on my camera Charles

I don't know up from down either but I found a little button in the photo editor that fixes that

@ChuckHunter ,
That is a gorgeous, classic, large-frame springer from an era of superb craftsmanship. I have one from the '90s with the Beeman laser branding, also in 0.20 caliber. Yes, extremely hold sensitive. I got very frustrated with mine until I learned to hold it very loosely. Mine also likes the field target trophy pellets the best. You can try attaching a self-adhesive rubber bumper foot on the center line of the back of the wrist for consistent placement of your trigger hand thumb. I call it the 'accuracy button'. See if it helps your groups. That, and a light trigger pinch technique work well for me.

Enjoy!

That's interesting because I did find that it likes thumb up and very light grip! Might have to make a trip to the hardware store for some buttons.

Any idea what that mount is called? I think it may be the solution I’ve been looking for.

It's from Vector Optics called the "Vector Optics Rum Cantilever Picatinny Riser Mount voor Vector Optics Paragon Prisma, Maverick en Scrapper Serie 21mm" Due to availability I had to order it from Aliexpress.

Thought I would share my experiences with my pRod with over 12 years of use.

That forearm is there for a reason.
Use it..

That sounds eerily similar to my path with CZ center fire rifles. I bought my first one in 2017 and I was up to 5 when they dropped the 527 and 550 lines. I wouldn’t be surprised to see same thing happen with Taipan air rifles. I’m really enjoying the fact that I can shot at home without a 3 hour round trip drive to the range.

Don't even get me started on center fire. I have 53 pistols/ revolvers and can't recall how many center fire rifles as well as rimfire.

. Many years of shooting and acquiring them.

have one completely redid the trigger
would i buy one again NO the sights make the pistol worthless but i am still working on mine
here is a long thread i was on
https://airgunwarriors.com/community/airgun-talk/umarez-markpoint/

if the trigger had the leverage at the bottom of the sear it could be better
taking the pin out of the grips safety was the easiest way to solve that nonsense
read the thread i spent a lot of time with in opened up

As the title said does anyone have any knowledge on these guns. With it being driven by a battery instead of c02 it looks like a fun can killer. With it's 11.1 v battery it would be a cheap upgrade to get extended shooting time. Mark

I can help you with this one, we have a thread going called ”ghost collaborative data request “
for Hft I recommend using jsb 13.4’s flying at around 810-815 FPS. So you will need a chronograph to check your settings.
Set the reg at or near 110/115 bar. You can increase reg under pressure but to decrease the pressure you need to degas. Brocock often ships their guns with the reg pressure set higher than necessary.
You should have received your ghost carbine with the white hammer spring installed. If all goes well you will be at or near minimum to 3 ? If my memory serves me well, on the power wheel.

Brocock/BRK - Ghost collaborative data request

I’m trying to create a cheat sheet for the FAC Ghosts when wanting to change calibers or barrel length and or pellets efficiently. I have ALL barrel(s) lengths and calibers, including a .20 available to me. I want to hear from folks who have found the perfect combination of: Regulator pressure...

www.airgunnation.com

cavedweller keith 1 here got my ghost carbinr 177 yesterday aoa test sheet stated number of shots were 10. minimum velocity 886 and 18.13 ft/lbs. maximum velocity 895 and 18.50 ft/lbs using 10.34 pellets. the other 8 shots range from 892 to 893 velocity and 18.37 to 18.41 ft/lbs. Im sad they didn't give the numbers from the power wheel for these shots? Like you stated i should shoot from minimum to 3 on the power wheel is this right? Plus AOA set my reg at 110. This is a great little gun my wife would ilke to clam it from my i say RIGHT".T HANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP KEITH 1

Thank you for organizing the airgun show for all of us. I bought your FLZ Milita (Ebay) . Too far to drive there from NY state.

I have been using predator hollow points for years to eliminate rats using an old .177 discovery. I recently picked up a couple of tins of rifle premium series 8.33 grn .177 Diablo style pellets. Color me impressed! I am still getting 930fps and they are accurate out of my disco out to 20 yards, I am getting about a .45" group at 20 yards. Not world-class but devastating on rats. The profile on these is much closer to a flat point than other "round nose" pellets I have used and they wack the critters with authority, generally not exiting on the far side with body shots. I need to get a few pictures but at a lower cost, and better accuracy, I think I have found my new favorite pest removal pellet. What are your experiences with round nose vs hollowpoint on pests?

Rifle premium series 8.33 grn do have a distinctive sound when hitting paper never did use them on a critter though just didn't find them accurate enough in my guns I think it was random fliers that put me off but I do remember the sound.

JTS 21.53 semi-domes are my new favorite hunting pellet I get excellent accuracy and they hit hard. Wish JTS had a .177 semi-dome .

Thanks for the tip. I thought about them, but didn't think they would sell to the general public, so never really considered them. I'll have to try and contact someone there. Thanks again!

You need to email them what you want, and then they will reply via email with a quote. It's pretty quick and easy to work with them. I ordered 2 barrels from them last year.

Good luck!

imtrigerhapy · Apr 11, 2025

I was recently looking at 3d printers but myself being an old curmudgeon i wave no idea about the technology or the process. Trying to figure out what would work best for me is difficult as i have no idea even on the verbology they use to describe the products lol....i guess that why people pay other people to make stuff lol but my stuborness will keep looking into it. As a vulcan 3hp .30 owner the intrest is there for me for larger and or deeper mags. Even like a slide shot or single shot mag would be nice if it allowed max length slugs

Mycapt65 · Apr 11, 2025

I don't know anything about Howa air rifles, but I can tell you their cheapest centerfire stuff shoot amazing. I have three of them in the family. Their high end stuff is top notch. It'd definitely be worth fixing for sure.

Yes, there's a bit of truth to that, but a barrel/pellet combo will, in most cases, yield several "ideal" tunes. Think of tunes as ranges of fpe or velocity. The harmonics of a barrel, for instance, can be on several nodes, it's not just one single node that magically works. kind of like a sine wave when it hits zero, there are several zeros along the time line.

I don't dispute your assertion of multiple accuracy nodes. It's just that I've never encountered such nodes.

I have an Impact for pellets, a Panthera for slugs, and I'm currently having fun gathering data with a Benjamin Kratos. Althought the Kratos is not pressure regulated, it has a valve in the transfer system that regulates mass airflow into the chamber. The valve allows for tuning at different maximum muzzle energy levels. Future testing will include looking for multiple accuracy nodes.

Well Beerthief I notmally agree with you on most everything but here is a true story. I started a springer benchrest match 2 years sgo once a month. I have had from 6 to 14 shooters, averaging about 10. Through this forum I have had roughly 15 inquiries, multiple phone conversasions with some, many promises I am coming.......to date not one of those have came. Despite offers to let them shot one of our guns if they feel undegunned, offers to meet them on a day prior to a match so they can try the indoor range, nothing seems to get them to give it a shot. So where did the 14 shooters come from. I recruited the first couple from guys I have shot other disciplines with over the years, then we found a group shooting about 40 miles away and went to shoot with them and they come shoot with us. But those who have seen the ads, match results, conversations on this forum, while curious they never show up. It seems the PvP shooter enjoy competing but the spring guys not so much. So maybe the folks running matches like the Pyrmid Air Match are aware the spring guys won't leave the back yard?

I have had the same results ,but here in my area "it is too far to drive " , "i can't crunch into a ball like that "

After many years shooting air rifles and having spent much more money in PCP's that I would ever thought, at this moment I have the opportunity of shooting with PCP'S of diverse makers.

I have confirmed that achieving accuracy with a rifle is a combination of many aspects, including, among others: the rifle (as a mix of many parts); the ammo; the scope; and the control you can achieve handling an specific rifle with specific ammo and then scope (PCP Package).

Therefore, someone can achieve better accuracy with specific "PCP package" and some other one with a diverse "PCP package".

I have confirmed that notwithstanding I am able to achieve 'good' accuracy with Airgun Technology rifles, with the FX Panthera Compact, with the Daystates......

But....

My personal best achievement in terms of accuracy at my farther away target (132 yards) is, doubtless and confirmed with:

******* FX DRS 600mm super powerful plenum and NSA .217 Cal 24.8 grain slugs.*******

I just have two cons in regard of the DRS:

1.- This rifle gives, uncomfortably, very few shots per fill (just 28 at 50 fpe); and

2.- Original magazine has very bad quality.... But fortunately, Eaglevision makes a superb magazine for that rifle.

That's it !

Pictures or it didn’t happen!

Just kidding,

Yeah, the OEM magazine is difficult to operate. I haven’t tried Eagle Vision mags yet, but I’m a HUGE fan of @StudLoadingSolutions and their speed loaders. He’s sending me a prototype for the DRS next week

thank you both so much. i was able to install to install both seal with minimal effort employing your technique.
I'm worn now. I can only work a few hours at most a day.
fingers crossed i can put this big bag of parts back together....a bit frightening but looking forward to it in the coming days.

This one started as an R8 pattern but I made the forearm deeper. Fits my Hw50 too. Inletting has to be finished first. Then final shaping

I have some Pachmayr pads but have been looking at other brands. I’m moving away from white spacers. Will consider a black grip cap.
Your FWB124 stock is very nice but I found they don’t fit my ape paws well. Same for Corcoran. The curve at the bottom impinges on my pinky. Probably because my Frankenstein paws are so wide.

If thy pinky offends you, cut if off!

I have a 1720, 1701 and prod. All with the same foster fill nipple. I've had to do this a few times. Easy fix. Bleed air from gun and remove the fill fitting by unscrewing from the air tube. It's only 2 pieces. 3 if you count the o-ring. Remove the inner check valve by pushing it out of the body. It slides in and out of the body and it's not threaded as it might seem. Clean the inner portion of the body with a q-tip as well as whiping off the check valve and o-ring. Lube with some silicon oil, reassemble, fill with air and off you go.

I get the Riskware warning as well. I used to go there often.
