    Brocock/BRK Ghost makes compressor happy

    Yep, my compressor has been taking extended vacations since getting the Ghost Carbine. Just want to share this for those looking to power-down their .22 Ghost to sub-12 FPE to maximize shot count. I shoot .22 CPHPs at 11.5 FPE and below is the amount of shots I'm able to achieve. I should...

    Brocock/BRK Ghost .22 vs 9mm

    9mm casing, that is. I spent the evening stacking pellets (all 18 one-shot pellets) into it at 13 yards.

    Brocock/BRK Ghost owners: please check if your Ghost’s cocking lever is jolted when shooting pellets

    I've noticed that my cocking lever seems like it's being hit by a hammer when firing a pellet (or possibly being hit by a blast of air within the mechanical assembly of which the cocking lever/rail is part), which imparts some vibration onto the entire rifle. This doesn't happen when dry firing...

    Brocock/BRK Ghost Carbine + Huggett Astile

    New mouthpiece😬. I swapped the 0DB Tactical (bottom photo) for a Huggett Astile (first two photos). The Astile is quieter than the 0DB to my ears and can be shortened. Which look do you guys prefer?

    Brocock/BRK Ghost owners

    Is there supposed to be a gap (about a millimeter) between the shroud and receiver, or is there supposed to be contact between them?

    Anybody know what the twist rate is of the barrel on a .22 Ghost Carbine?

    Brocock/BRK When others go high ...

    ... I go low. 😬 As the photo below shows, this is how low I set the regulator on my .22 Ghost Carbine. Because the small, almost unreadable Huma gauge is notoriously inaccurate (Come on, BRK/Daystate -- stop cheaping out on parts on these guns for the price you charge for them!) compared to a...

    BRK Ghost Carbine .22 "backyard practice" tune

    With an extremely low regulator pressure of 45ish BAR and a weaker-than-stock hammer spring, my Ghost is shooting the Crosman Hollowpoints at an average velocity of 670 FPS, or 14.3 FPE (14.3 grains @ 14.3 FPE), which is accurate and more than sufficient power for me for backyard practice shooting.

    Brocock/BRK One-month evaluation of the BRK Ghost Carbine .22

    It has been about a month of ownership of my BRK Ghost Carbine, and I think it might be sufficient for me to take the time to share further my observations as well as my impressions of it. I’ll start by saying that the Ghost has a totally different firing character compared to all the PCPs I’ve...

    Maintaining velocity consistency in regulated, low plenum pressures

    Many members here seem to lean towards the “more power is better” side of the spectrum. If you happen to be one of some who stand proudly on the “do more with less” side (like me), however, then this post is for you, especially if you’re stumped in your tuning quest to attain consistency of your...

    Brocock Ghost First Impressions

    In the three days of ownership of my Brocock Ghost Carbine .22, I can say that so far my experience is a positive one. I think three days make for sufficient time to assess the build quality by sight and feel of the gun’s exterior only and share my impressions here, and share a few thoughts on...

    The great thing about shooting at sub-10 FPE ...

    Is that from a 220 BAR to 75 BAR fill on my first-generation Cricket, shots continue to be regulated. Below is a 300-shot summary of such as stated: And even stopping at this point there is still no sign of shots going off-the-reg. Below is the indicated air pressure on the...

    Draining water from Omega Trail Charger compressor

    For those who have this portable compressor and as the title says, is there a way to correctly empty the water from the tank instead of turning the unit upside down to drain it directly (which could get messy and water could seep into the internals) from the refilling cap? There is nothing...

    Current generation Vulcan...and Kalibrgun Capybara question

    Hey all, I hope you are enjoying the holidays. I've read before that the older-generation Vulcans have a plastic trigger. That said, if it's true, does anyone know if the current generation guns still have a nonmetal trigger shoe? Also, just when is the Kalibrgun Capybara going to be...

    Loose, wiggling, "play-ful" eyepiece on your scope?

    I was reading a few posts on other forums a couple of days ago from people who complain about their scope's ocular lens (also known as a fast-focus eyepiece) having some play or wiggle when turning it clockwise or counterclockwise because it doesn't have a lock ring, which, as they claim...

    What Crosman pellets can do--and it isn't pretty!

    Here are a couple of photos that illustrate how specks of lead can embed themselves onto steel. For those of you who use or have used Crosman pellets before, you know how dirty they are. As illustrated in the pictures, the smeared lead--caused by the constant opening and closing cycle of the...

    Quiet is as quiet sounds

    For some time now my 8 FPE Cricket with Donny's first-generation carbon fiber shroud and LDC combo has been serving me so well in terms of backyard pest control and target shooting I feel no need to raise the power. It's got all the energy I need to eliminate pest pigeons up to 30 yards. But...
