    I recently bought the FX Impact M3. The Ghost was on the shortlist but, I opted for the FX purely because I wanted some adjustability - not to over step the 12ft lb mark but to ensure I was under it and, find the best fps number the gun/pellet combo would work with. Your videos have helped me understand how to achieve this, thank you - I’m now addicted to your channel

      I just traded an M3 for a Ghost in 22 caliber....The m3 was way too busy for me.
      I haven't got the Ghost yet but am really looking forward to it.

      This is a very helpful video for me as i have power issues, thanks for sharing .
      One thing i have noticed is that when I'm holding the rifle near where the bottle is attached, when i fire i can feel a small blast of air on my hand, is this normal and the shroud is back venting or do you think something is wrong ?

    Awesome video that happen to me on my fx m3 22 cal i guess i left the mag in the gun when i was changing out my 700mm barrel to a 800mm barrel well a 34 grain slug fell inside where the value rod is at in the rear block where shoots out lol and i could not figure it out why it was shooting very low....i guess the probe pushed a slug inside when i figured it out i was very happy but i did have to change out the valve rod because it got all bent up 😭 thanks for sharing be safe buddy 💯

    Hi great video btw also I noticed the flip up covers on your scope are they push on rubber covers if so can you tell me where you got them please as I have an Optisan EVX 4-16-44i and I can’t seem to get original spares.

    • @paulblundell8033
      @paulblundell8033 9 місяців тому

      It’s a Vortex Optics scope and it’s the only flip up covers they offer. Whereas say a Hawke has screw on covers Vortex decided to sell push on ones as they argue they will not fall off in the field. They sell them based upon the objective and ocular lens size.

    Got it new just before Christmas and it's shooting at around 10.9 ft lb and 687 fps with JSB heavy's. Don't want to invalidate my warranty messing with it my self. The spec sheet I got with said 11.4 ft lb with 8.44 grain pellets.

    I can only adjust speed with regulator. So using the powerwheel to adjust speed depends on which spring is mounted from factory

      I will speak to the person who owes them a drink and see if we can upgrade this to breakfast 😊
      The interesting thing is a few people had posted about pellets dropping into the mechanism and causing issues but Geoff and Jake had not experienced it. The gun was being used on the bench with the single shot loader and was swapped to the magazine and the POI moved about an inch. Obviously blamed the magazine but all three available did it plus the single shot loader. Not sure how the pellet fell back on a horizontal gun but at least we have experienced the issue and can show it’s easy to fix.

    • @paulblundell8033
      @paulblundell8033 9 місяців тому +2

      I’m sure they can add more details but recently at the range a Ghost owner had a new to them used Ghost. Running it over the chrono showed it was probably nearly half power. Flipping it over to the correct orientation took it up to 11.5.
      It is easily done and whoever owned it before had not put it back right ( they had stripped it down to cerakote bits of the gun ).
      I think they mention about this in their main strip down and rebuild video.

    • @sub12airgunners
      @sub12airgunners  9 місяців тому +3

      yes the probe can be fitted in 2 positions 1 transfer port hole up and 2 transfer port down if it's fitted with the hole up it will still shoot but very low power 😀 thanks for watching 😀

    How was the fair? From the videos you can see that it was busy Epic two, Rti Mora seem interesting and some others, I'm sorry but it is a shame at least for me that a rifle like Brocock has so many things to keep an eye on since its value is considerable apart from not having your skill and patience, thank you.
    Sorry, I have read the comments and the problem of dirt caused by small pellets in the Ghost is not an isolated problem, I'm sorry.

    • @paulblundell8033
      @paulblundell8033 9 місяців тому

      But the point of the video is show what might cause a gun to drop in power and where to look. This can happen on any gun ( I know by experience ) and the point was to show where to look and possible remedies.
      Some guns are very hard to work on and diagnose where the BRK Ghost is pretty simple.
      It’s worth noting that this gun used the old design PRS single shot loader which has been replaced and the likelihood is that the original design could cause pellets to fall back into the mechanism.
      The SSL is not included with the gun and is a 3rd party add-on which like most things doesn’t show any flaws until it’s used more rather than just in R&D.
      It would be interesting to see how many o-rings are used on the Ghost to say the FX M3 ( and might fail )
