All I can think of is making sure the slots on both ends are clean and dust free and that the new batteries are good . My new chrony is a lighted sun shade type like yours and it works very good but takes a lot more power than standerd chrony . Mine has option to plug sun screen into 110 . That is what I do . Again good luck !

Slots ?

I just assembled my HW95 using Jim Macarri's Moly grease on the piston and seal then Vortek's red grease on the spring. I believe the red grease is Lucas Red 'N Tacky/ All things work perfectly.

I can not swear to it under oath, but I believe that the Air Venturi 'tune in a tube' is also Lucas.
I remember someone on the old GTA recommending Lucas way back when, and used judiciously, it has served me well to date.

Like I said, I was going to hold off, but I think I am going to order one, and that barrel will look good on my Silver Ghost!

Lol, yeah I just got off the phone with AOA. I am now on the list for the .22 cal SUBMOA barrel. He would expect it to be avaliable in more than 6 weeks and less than 6 months... But putting my name on the list didn't cost anything. They are a little pricey at $539 but still far cheaper than a whole new gun.

I think I am going to look at Blueing the barrel when it gets here as he mentioned that they are raw steel with a coating of silicone grease.

Your first post showed a stellar ES from a spring gun over that many shots.

Work with the FTTs or start sorting tins of JSBs?

duchunter007 said:

Yes, the short-skirt ones shoot well ( JSB Exact Monster .22 Redesigned SHALLOW Skirt). My reg is at 160 (factory setting on mine), and the power wheel is on 5. I'm shooting 864 FPS with 42.2 FT-LB. Next week, I will start shooting the "ZAN Projectiles." AOA suggests I start with .217 25.5 gr Hollow Point slugs. I will let you know how that goes. Also, I am going to use the barrel tensioner kit and see how that goes., I have the barrel clamp already, I might shoot it a few more times without the tensioner kit.

You are going to love shooting the Ghost. It is such a nice gun and very smooth! Did you get the extended ARCA rail? If not, I suggest you get that.

Are you using sub12? Because when I set My reg at 120, pw 2 with red spring. I am shooting 25.39gr jsb, 920 FPS With 600mm factory barrel.
I am still debating getting slug barrel or not.. are they really good?

My understanding of the grease used in springers (from the old days), is that the grease chosen by the manufacturer of the rifle was specifically designed to burn under the pressure of the main spring compression. The burning grease caused air expansion and increased the pressure behind the pellet beyond what the spring would be able to provide alone. The grease is supposed to burn at a specific rate -- not too fast, not too slow. So a grease that doesn't burn is no good and a grease that explodes is no good. A manufacturer chooses a grease that is somewhere between those extremes.

I don't know if things have changed with springers since the old days -- I haven't looked into it.

What pellets are you using on them?

Click to expand...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I couldn't find my notebook. My favorite is Predator GTO 11.75 g. These I can hit pellet on pellet at 26yds. Over the Winter I set up a range in my garage to test others. 18.9 yards. When I turned the gun all the way up for heavier pellets, the Predators went to a 3/8" group. What I found out was the semi auto was optimized for 16 gr pellets. My results showed the same. 22gr and over would start jamming and tearing up the magazines. My target was 3/4 inch 5 ply. The Hornet 16.20 gr shot 1" group 24.4 ft lb , 835 fps and splintered out the back of the plywood. Haven't tried these yet cause the yotes rarely come down my street anymore. The JSB Exact Jumbo rs 13.4 also splintered out the back but only shot 726fps @ 16.8ft lb. I haven't messed with pressures on each pellet yet to see if I can approve on them. After I go shoot 30 yd and 50 yd I'm going to see. Predator polymag shorts 15.89 weren't very consistent. 1" group 756-773 fps. 20.6 ft.lb. However, today I had a mouse stuck on a sticky pad that was still alive. 9.5 yd shot and the poly mags were what was loaded in the gun already. Incredible damage. Never seen that with any pellet. I'm going to see if backing down the speed will make them more accurate.

This is one that you have massaged and molded corrrect?

OUTSTANDING consistency across the board, and three different pellet types thrown in just to keep it interesting....
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I believe that rifle could be considered a reliable meat getter.
Well done sir, and thank you for keeping hope alive.

Hope this helps I apologize for the delay

it feels like you are pulling it for almost 6-8" to fully cock the rifle. The level of force is pretty low.

Are you referring to the Mora?

Nice Shooting blitzen

beerthief said:

What would be a safe way to test if an unknown grease would Diesel in an springer ? I have a small jar of moly grease from a Chemist friend (deceased ) that developed (@ BP Labs) for use on the Space Station . He said the jar i have would cost about $700 an ounce , Government price from BP ?

Good gawd $700/ounce?? If you've got proof it was manufactured for NASA sell it online and buy an new PCP! haha

Ok, on it! Many thanks

What is the diameter, length, and weight when you have 5 chambers? How about 3? Thanks in advance for any help. Can't find any data online.
