A little rework of my Ghost

[MikeVV]

I've seen where a couple of folks within these pages whine about..."that's too large a pressure gauge" !?
I don't understand. If you can't read it, or the graduations are so close together, there is NO delineation from graduation line to graduation line, there is NO accuracy, it's useless. So...I fixed both of the gauges on my Ghost.

Plus, at least with my gun, the Huma and the Wika are reading different. The Huma read just over 90 bar. As you can see, the Wika reads just under 110 bar.
My guess, the Wika is more accurate.

A little easier to read ? AND...MORE accurate.

I have no idea about the accuracy of the gauges, but those are definite and easy to read 10 bar increments

That is what I was saying. Mine are still sitting in my Huma basket. A two grand gun should have come with gauges that can be read without a 20 power loop! That five cent butt plate is also a P.O.S.!

FX is famous for the poor quality gauges they put on the Maverick. I changed all the gauges out on mine.

besides being blinded by small print.... how are you liking your Ghost?

Yes sir.
The more that I dig into the little things that bug me, and the more that I shoot it, it's quickly becoming a favorite.
While I have not done a full string shot count, the gauge needle seems to move pretty slowly as I shoot. Although I did lower the hammer spring tension with the adjuster wheel to about 800fps, it just keeps going on my original "top-off" from the Airguns of Arizona's fill.

I shot it a bit yesterday and surprised myself (positively !) !
