I might buy this if I had the money but I dont.

SOLD

Asking $600 shipped.

Selling Air Arms TX200 MKIII .177. Just sits in the safe, so I would rather just move it on to someone else who will enjoy it.

Shoots 10.3gr around 730fps and 8.4gr around 810fps.

It is Beech. It is in very very good condition, rarely shot. Only one mark that doesn’t go down thru the finish, on lower edge that I tried to get a picture of.

I prefer PayPal F&F, but will consider MO or Check depending on the buyer.

If in North Carolina, I can meet you and save on the price due to savings in shipping.

RIFLE ONLY, no accessories.

Finally fixed all mechanical issues of Cricket and rebuilt it's Huma regulator.

The gun is reasonably consistent now.

But with 18 grain jsb pellets its giving more than 1" group at 24 yards. I tested from 850 fps to all the way upto 950 fps but accuracy is not acceptable.

I also checked the breach O ring and barrel outer O rings.

I have yet to check if the barrel is choked or not. By the internal profile it appears to be a CZ hammer forged barrel.

Any advice about fixing the accuracy? Is there a catch there that I am missing?

Here is a 25 shot group at 88y yesterday in light wind with FX 25.4 gr monsters right from the tin. Outside to outside of group is .858”. These pellets print a single hole of about .180”….so .858” - .180” = .678” ctc. 1 moa at 88y is .921”. .678” / .921” = .736 MOA for 25 shots at 88y with pellets.

Not bad.

thought i ordered the new match grade pellets ..... nope got the blister pack old ones , guess the new ones are not out yet .

IN defence of Crosman i did order from Amazon so i returned them .
Any leads to where i can buy the New single die pellets ?

Sorry, degassing kit has been sold

Thread title says it all. You got a shootin' buddy or are you alone in your hobby?

I’ve heard stories of this happening, but always just dismissed them as urban legends.
Tonight I saw it happen with my own two eyes!

I was out culling rabbits and came across a group of 3 of them.
I always choose the closest one to start with because if the others bolt at the first shot, at least you got the easiest one.

So I lined it up and gave it a lead sleeping pill, upon which it fell over and was sleeping before it hit the grass.
I then looked to the right and further back for the other two, which hadn’t bolted at the first shot.
I found them in my scope, reloaded and started lining up the next one, when it suddenly took off, running towards me!
I’ve been charged by a few things in my life, so I kept my cool, didn’t panic and tracked it through my scope, and waited for the last possible moment before I took my shot…

Anyway, I followed it through my scope as it came across the paddock all the way to where it stopped, right next the first rabbit I’d just shot.

I thought “Shame, it’s come over to check on its friend, how sweet!”
It was nuzzeling the dead rabbit, pushing it with its head, like it was trying to say “come on, wake up!”

And then it did it…
It mounted its just deceased, still warm dead bunny friend and started sha**ing it’s brains out!!!

I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it my self.

I wasn’t sure if I should keep watching the show or finish the job
Seeing as I already had a pellet loaded, I gave him a few moments to finish his business, and then I slowly squeezed off the shot.
What a way to go!

This will be a bit of a summary of the last year.
The long version is here: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/brk-ghost-review.1274213/

As the title states, "taking delivery" last September, I've now been working with the BRK Ghost for one year. I'd hazard a guess that the one in my possession has seen as much (or more) use as any other Ghost out there. I've ran it in .177, .20, and .22. Recently adding 3 more empty JSB tins and a couple boxes of NSA slugs to the empty pile brings this Ghost's shot count up to around 15,000. This post will be a breakdown of the past year. I'll first give an objective accounting of the various configurations I've used it in, and how those did in "local" monthly competitions throughout this past year. I'll also go over the pesting fun I've had with it, as well as modifications I've made to suit my preferences, and the .20 projectiles I'm currently using. Finally, I'll conclude with my impressions and opinions on the platform.




COMPETITIONS
For the first couple of months, I ran the Ghost as received, a .177 Carbine. This was complete OEM, using a 300cc bottle and the 17inch 12 land and groove, choked Lothar barrel. I shot a 47/48 in the first field target match the Ghost platform probably ever competed in. That score was good for a match high tie, and was in October of 2022 near Flagstaff, AZ. The JSB .177/10.34 were used for that match, going about 890fps.

At at same Oct 2022 match, airgun buddy, @Arzrover lent me a 23inch .22 polygonal barrel, and passed me a custom shroud that he had machined (that's why this ones shroud has brass endcaps). From that barrel, I found the .22/25.4gr Monster RDs at about 930fps to be very accurate. So in Nov of 2022, I shot two matches in the same day down in Phoenix, using the .177 barrel in a sub20fpe field target match, and the .22 barrel in a high power/long range ft match. The Ghost scored a 39/48 in the low power match, for 4th place in the class, and a 40/48 in the high power ft match. The 39/48 was the worst it has done in competition, at least in my hands. The 40/48 with the .22 barrel in the high power match however, was good for a tie for 2nd place in the pellet class.

I competed with the Ghost in a high power ft matches in PHX again in January and February, shooting a 39/48 and a 33/48 respectively, good for 2nd and 3rd places. And only down a few shots from high score.

Sometime in early spring @Arzrover machined me a .20 barrel for the Ghost, and that is what has been in it since about April. I also acquired a 480cc bottle, which also has been installed since early spring. So, the .20 Ghost is most similar in specs to a Ghost Plus.

I used the .20 Ghost and .20/13.73s to win a silhouette match in Duncan, AZ in April, shooting a 39/40 at 1/5 scale silhouette targets out to 70 yards. The same configuration was used to shoot a 49/52 at the field target match that same weekend.

The .20 Ghost shot a 50/52 at a sub 20fpe match in June 2023 over in western NM (second highest score of the match)
The .20 Ghost shot a 45/48 at a sub 20fpe match the next week of June, but again near Flagstaff, AZ (second highest score of the match).
The .20 Ghost shot a 58/60 at a sub 20fpe match in July of 2023, back in western NM (overall high score).

For the sub 20fpe matches, the .20/13.73s have been shot at about 805fps.

In short, the Ghost has been very good to me in local competitions. In all of these outings, it has held its own against the best airguns that exist, up to and including custom competition airguns costing 2x what the Ghost retails for.

PESTING
In the last year the Ghost has been used to take Eurasian doves, house sparrows, pigeons, starlings, ground squirrels, and prairie dogs. One of the high points was an outing to a dairy, where an estimated 100+ euro doves were killed. It was also my first choice for the summer prairie dog season and killed a couple hundred prairie dogs this summer. The longest shot I've made with the Ghost was 265 yards, on a prairie dog and using the .20/15.89grain pellet at about 915fps. It is tough to laser something as small as a pdog at that distance, but I got close to him with it, and then used Strelok to predict 21mils of holdover. It required a combination of dialing and hold-over, and about 8-10 shots to walk it in to connect. It was a head/vitals shot though, because he dropped and did the death dance. Now, that distance has not been a common occurrence, but rather an exception. I have, however, killed 18-20 pest birds from the tops of the cottonwood trees behind my house, and they measure 160-174 yards away. Most of those were Euro doves, but a couple have been starlings. The first time I connected that far I thought it a fluke, but it has been repeated enough now to not be as shocking. When @pesty3782 came up for a pdog hunt he lasered a couple at 203 yards that I connected on with .20/18.9grain slugs. And when @Nofilters and I were shooting pdogs I had a confirmed head shot on a pdog at a lasered 226 yards, again with the slugs. Those shots are outliers and the exceptional examples. More realistically and much more frequently, the Ghost .20 can hit a prairie dog or Euro dove sized target out to 140-150 yards with surprising consistency, using either the .20/15.89 JSB pellets or the .20/18.9grain slugs.

MODIFICATIONS
Other than the aforementioned .20 barrel and the shroud with brass endcaps...........I also swapped out the grip for a billet aluminum one, and more recently swapped both OEM gauges for WIKA gauges. I chose the brass WIKAs with the black face, and no covers so that the brass accents could play off the brass endcaps of the shroud. I mounted an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 within the first few months, and that scope has a scopewerks.com sidewheel, to allow for using the Ghost in field target competitions. I also did some minor modifications to the plastic butt pad, namely a peg at the top, and some skateboard grip tape, both to help hold the gun in the shoulder pocket. The air stripper inside the shroud is also custom, being a bit longer than the OEM stripping cone. I choose to run the Ghost .20 without any additional moderators, mostly b/c at the fpe that I am putting out with any of the .20 projectiles, it is quiet enough to do so.

.20 "TUNES"
Regulator pressure is left at 128-130 bar for all three "tunes," relying on simply spinning the hammer tension wheel for each projectile. This method results in a higher than necessary reg pressure for the sub20fpe tune, which exacerbates the "cold" shot being slower than desired situation. For this reason I need to waste a couple shots prior to using the gun for the sub20fpe tune. This could probably be eliminated with a more appropriate reg pressure for the sub20fpe tune, but is a price I'm willing to pay for the convenience of not needing to go up and down on reg pressures as I go back and forth between pesting and field target.

• At "MIN" on the wheel, the JSB 13.73gr pellets are the go-to for sub 20fpe field target work. I've never shot a full string but I'd estimate it is in the 160+ shots per fill. This is at 805fps, with the 480cc bottle. For this tune I use a BC of 0.044 for Strelok to match actual. These are shot straight from the tin, no cleaning, no lubing.
• At "11" the JSB 15.89gr pellets fly at 915-920fps. These are stable out to extremely far ranges for a 30fpe pellet, boasting a measured BC of 0.048. Also shot straight from the tin.
• At "MAX" the NSA .20/18.9gr slugs fly at 875-885fps, and are 1 of the top 2 best slug results I've ever seen. Measured BC (also confirmed with Strelok data) is 0.09. I am lubing the .20 slugs with Gunzilla, quite liberally.

IMPRESSIONS AND OPINIONS
I'll get my gripes out of the way first. I have three "complaints" with the Ghost.

• The first is that the OEM trigger is about 1lb, 6oz, if only using intending adjustments. It CAN be further reduced to the 5-8ounce range, but requires more than simple adjustments.
• The second is that I have had 3 valves leak, seemingly from the poppet. AOA has replaced each of them and the valve currently in the gun has so far been flawless. From discussions with AOA staff, the first two valves were from the same batch, with a handful of other owners experiencing the same problem with valves from that batch. I removed a buffer and shimmed the poppet return spring on the third valve, some combination of which probably created a self-induced leaker. The valve currently in the gun was installed 100% as OEM and has thus far not leaked.
• The third is the slow first shot when the gun has not been shot for awhile. This is also mostly a self-induced problem, a result of my stubbornness at leaving the reg the same pressure for the various projectiles and power outputs that I'm using. Dialing in some hammer tension ALMOST eliminates the slow first shot issue (for example, first cold shot at max hammer tension with the slugs is 870ish, with all subsequent shots being in the 875-885range).

Outside of those three, the Ghost is simply amazing. This is the 5th or 6th? review that I've done for AOA and I knew after that first match with the Ghost that I wanted to buy it after the review. With the previous reviews of other guns I was tempted, but was able to return each of those guns without purchasing them. With the Ghost we had agreed on a 1 year review and so I revisited this with my AOA rep about two weeks ago. I was ecstatic when they told me I can keep the Ghost. It was implied but not stated, that the "payment" was all the time I've put into sharing my experience with it. Regardless, over the last year, I've been impressed enough with the Ghost that I was prepared to part with some cash to avoid returning it. I have mixed feelings about them "giving" it to me, as it feels like this suggests my opinions on the Ghost may have been swayed by that fact. With that in mind, I have shared all that I've learned about the Ghost platform in the last year, good and bad. Overall the good vastly outweighs the bad with the Ghost, enough that I wanted it in my collection and was prepared to pay to make that happen.

Based on a year's worth of collected experiences with the Ghost, I see it as THE PINNACLE of modularity in modern airguns. The same base (chassis/frame, valve, bottle, etc) can be used for anything from a dedicated benchrest howitzer in .25 or .30, to a short little low power plinker, to a mid-size general use gun. With the .20 barrel, the Plus-length shroud, and the 480 cc bottle, I view mine (kinda nice to say that it's mine) as the ultimate general use airgun. As delineated above, I've used it to repeatedly finish at or near the top of the pack in various field target and silhouette competitions, as well as some very high volume pesting. For a couple hundred bucks invested in a different barrel kit, a guy can have what amounts to a completely different airgun, and a quality one at that. Prior to this push to modularity in the industry, having two airguns with vastly different intended uses required spending money on two completely different airguns, With the Ghost, you can have "another" Ghost for only the cost of a barrel kit. And with the easily made adjustments, sometimes another barrel isn't even necessary. Again, as I stated above, I just spin the wheel and I've got a long range precision pest eliminator, spin the wheel back down and I've got a sub20fpe gun capable of winning field target matches.

I could go on but the ongoing review has been long-winded enough already. Suffice it to say that a guy gets a lot of quality airgun with a BRK Ghost.

Looking for a very accurate dependable 177 slug rifle, I have my front runners just want some honest thoughts.

So the Summer blow-torch let off a little and I Finally took the V-3 to a 60 y. range I set up in a sheltered outdoor setting. Cal .22, Reg. is set at 140 Bar and I use a hammer spring tension of # of Turns Inward from flush with back of receiver with threaded plug hitting stock. I consider 4 1/2 Turns Inward as the “Max” compressio. ( Anybody know if this range is considered Correct”??)

I determined that at 4.5 turns in and with 23g H&N .218 was making about 1050-1058 fps. I tried a range of velocities from there down to about 900. Unfortunately nothing really “Gelled“ as being a sweet spot. All shots were in the Black of those 22 LR small bore 50 Ft. targets for competition Iron Aperture sights, so prob. 1.5”?.

switched to .217 Zan 23g and all of a sudden little 1/4“ groups. This is at the 970-ish speed. I’m thinking Great, Got Ya’…but NO. Reloaded mag and now back to previous in- Black peppering.

Something that was curious was velocity consistency too. Would be cooking along in a V groove and then get a 20+ fps spike in speed on a shot in middle of string, then back to normal. (Using FX Barrel Chrony) Hmmm. I set reg with a tester and was spot-on 140 B for multiple little charge cycles inside tester.

i would really love to have something more repeatable / incremental that that Allen screw-cap as the hammer spring compression adjustment but this is the way it is.

Any Vulcan gurus who want to add advice, observation, comments Bring it On! Eager to hear.

BTW: Amazed with 125 Regulated Shot count from 295 Bar down to 150 Bar.

OK so,

I sold one of my guns to my boss ( he keeps it at the property where I work so I can shoot it anytime I want )

Anyway this guy just goes all out in everything he does, I suggested to buy the CS3 but of course he had to get the CS4


Yesterday was delivered, I took it out the box but didn't read the manual nor tried to play with it since I figured it would be better getting tips from the members here.

I know there's other threads about this pump, but I just look for minor tips,...he she ready to go as is or do I need to do something to it?

anything else ?


appreciate any advice and much thanks in advance.

Hello again, Airgunners!!

As I threatened in this post about some fun Halloween targets, here is a link to the video shooting glowsticks above eyeballs, and then shooting the eyeballs.

If I had to do this over, I would use a bunch more glow sticks as it is a little hard to see. Here is a picture after I blew everything up:


I've still got some more to shoot, and Halloween is right around the corner. Happy and Safe shooting!!

Hello everyone! here's a question for everyone no matter what airgun you have (well PCP only actually). so running shot strings I can achieve right around 85 very consistent shots with my Benjamin Akela, but actually going out shooting it feels like I don't get that many shots before the pressure starts dropping below the sweet spot. does anyone else experience the same thing? is it because shooting targets and lobbing pellets in at long range is just more enjoyable than running shot strings so it feels like it goes faster? sure I could just count how many pellets or how many times I filled my magazines but oh well...does anyone else notice this or is it just me? im curious to hear your guy's experience with this type of thing!

I bought a blemished 308 Texan this week. This is not a flame post, but just to serve as informational. I was expecting some nicked edges on the aluminum (which it has), or some odd coloration in the bluing (which it also has), or some imperfections in the molded poly parts (also present). I really did not expect ALL of those things AND RUST! I should be able to fix up everything (with the exception of the poly parts) and will eventually ceracote it, but wow. I really didn’t think I was getting something in this kind of shape. It almost appears used, but I don’t know that for sure. The crown has rust, but the bore doesn’t appear to have any. My endoscope is just a little too large to get into a 308. Just a warning to all who were thinking about saving a couple hundred bucks, know what you could be getting into. If you don’t have the capabilities to re-blue, deburr sharp edges or nicks, or ceracote/duracote to cover any cosmetic imperfections then you may want to spend the extra couple hundo and get a Texan that is in pristine condition like they usually come!

I picked up this STUD Ultrapod new a month or so back. Wanted to give it a shot but not really for me. Prefer a tripod setup.

Price: $90 SHIPPED SOLD

Busy day with airguns. Spent 3 hours with a Skout epoch then got to play with my new Brocock Ghost Carbine.177. Mounted a Nightforce NX8 on it with a big Rowan parallax wheel setup with StrelokPro and verified dope yard by yard. Very impressed with Derrick Walls trigger work! @ tenacious airguns dot com. Bullpup platforms can be difficult for FT because too often the center of barrel to center of scope is excessive and difficult to get a good eyebox. Nonetheless- success!
11 lbs of awesomeness.

I've got a few airguns already, an old Benjamin .177 pump, Beeman R9 .177, HW50S .177 (I love this one) and a Red Rider BB gun that was my sons when he was a kid.
Anyway, looking for a good inexspensive .22 for backyard plinking and maybe some hunting.
A few I was looking at
Hatsan MOD 65 - Watched a video and the guy showed the pins in the trigger was bent and not recommended it.

I also looked at getting a PCP like the Hatsan Flashpup or Flash QE from Bass Pro or the Umarex Origin. Also don't know about Gas Pistons.

I recent picked up a used 177 Red Wolf and a PRS Chassis, Love it! But then begs the quest for a larger caliber for long (100ish yards) Benchrest. So I wrote centercut and he highly promoted the non-Electronic BRK Ghost 30, but I can not push myself to like the bullpup layout. So I still love that Red Wolf only would .25 cal be the better or as in the Centercut recommendation .30 but in my familiar rifle layout.
So what is the collective thoughts and opinions of Red Wolf .25 or .30 ???
