BRK Ghost with slug barrel.

[ARW]

Yes I also do gave FX pocket chronograph V2 To check a FPS. I see how you control first shot by using PW higher.
so you are saying that you bought a another ghost with slug barrel with it.($100 extra)
just curious, why not just buy slug barrel & swap? That’s what I’m going to do but slug barrel cost way too much($600+)
When you get a ghost with slug barrel, could you please update a result? I really want to know that slug barrel is worth it to buy with that price.

Thank you!

I have always wanted a dedicated pellet shooter and a dedicated slug shooter as well, that is why I bought the second Ghost.

I got my .22 slug barrel two weeks ago and it shoots really good, I have been using the JSB short skirt redesign 25.39gn pellets, I have slugs coming that AOA recommended. Also have the Barrel Tensioner kit but have not got that setup yet. Really happy with the new barrel, now I am waiting for the .25 Cal SUB MOA barrel to come out soon, I hope!

so how are the Huben GK1 made, why do some shoot crossman and others they have a hard time finding a pellet?
I understand that you are saying about rifling.. but seems like from everything I have read and heard that the GK1 has major differences.. like a lot more than 217vs 2175..
also I don't know how the magazine is made, maybe it's cast? but I'd think it would be CNC machined..I suppose that's what I was referring to mostly before when I said CNC machine.
you are one of the members I remember the name and that you know what you talk about..I appreciate it..
I've been wanting a GK1 in 22 caliber and it's very hard for me to get that much money together.. I just really don't want to get it and then have trouble with it or being pellet picky and jamming at the price point..
if I manage to buy one it will be from Kelly at Krazy cool airguns

The best thing for you to do is to order from Kelly and request he put a 2018 magazine if he has one or ask if he has one before you buy. Even so you won't be able to shoot .217-.218 sized slugs/ammo.

According to AOA the slugs they recommended will not be available until next month, but I have several different slugs on hand that I will be trying in the meantime. My new Ghost should be here this week, and I am like a kid at Christmas. Did I read your post correctly that your new slug barrel shoots the JSB redesigned 25.39 shallows really good?

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.

I love shooting the 217 Zan 40 grain slugs out of my Condor.. they are almost identical to the h&n 217 slugs 40 grain as well

I have had my current .22 cal. Ghost HP for almost a year now and it has been awesome. I have had several PCP's over the years by far the Ghost has been my favorite. I was really glad to hear BRK came out with a slug barrel for the Ghost and ordered a complete gun just to shoot slugs (hopefully) out of it. I would not think of parting with my first Ghost. I have the short Saber Tactical ARCA rail, and my BOG Sherpa tripod fits it perfectly. I actually made my farthest shot with it this morning on a pigeon at a lasered 102yds. on a very tall silo. I saw my first shot went a little high, but my second shot hit him in the chest and down he came.
Here is a 3 shot group I shot with it last Sept. (If I can get it to post that is)

Both are nice groups! I have shot some nice, tight groups with the .25-cal barrel. I also have a Sniper XR HP that AOA did the power tune on, and it shoots really well! just waiting for a SUB-MOA barrel to come out in .25-Cal.

Thanks, the top is a 3 shot group and the bottom is only a single shot to verify my zero. I have noticed the barrel does not group that well when it's dirty. I rarely let it go over 100 rounds between cleaning and since I am mostly a hunter that is not that much of a problem for me. When I do shoot it on paper to verify my zero and see an occasional round go out of the group, I know it's time to clean the barrel and that has always brought the accuracy back.

TT sells CZ unchoke 700mm for the taipan 2 but with the help of a machinists they could be fit to the Ghost.. you will only need to machine the rear and ad a moderator..these have the cleanest most uniform bore I have seen from a factory barrel.. these 2 will go on my AF condors .
