Ghost BRK Ghost .22 Plus

[Joey 69]

I will be ordering a Ghost .22 plus soon, will this moderator make it neighbor friendly?. 0dB Airgun Silencer 110C Black with 1/2" UNF
I don't want to freak out my neighbors like i did with the Hatsan .22 even with an after market drop in plastic one it is to loud.
when i go in the woods i don't care but home it could be a deal breaker.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks joey

On my Ghost Carbine am running a 0dB .25 moderator and my Ghost is backyard friendly. Just posted this image of mine. As equipped my Ghost Carbine is a heavy beastie…

Awesome looking rifle. Thanks for your info, the moderator is rated 177/22, I ordered a ghost .22 plus, DonyFL advises to go one cal up so do you think i should go 22/25 on the mod to avoid clipping?. also can you advise on pellets that it likes.
Thanks again Joey.

 

[Luis Leon]

I would advise to go one caliber up on the moderator. Clipping will be a non-issue with the Ghost, if you decide to change calibers up or down you are covered by the one moderator. Mine likes the JSB Exact Jumbo 18.13s, and I also plink with CPHPs. Was sending at 25, 40 and 50 yards tonight with mine with the JSBs, PW on 10. Bipod front, shoulder as my rear support, she is a very accurate and deadly pesting machine.

Solid choice! I have the .22 Hp and sending Mrds on min @ 880fps it is very backyard friendly, no moderator required! (Or allowed) But the carbine/Plus is shorter and may 'bark' a little more? Brk did a good job on the baffle and tube already on the gun. Substantially quieter than my S510.

Thanks for the info, I will order the next size up on the mod. A lot members seam to like the CPHP's and JSB's so i will try them first. I really like that you can change cal's on the ghost, have you ever done that?

@Franklink has, he is very knowledgeable and has tested the Ghost extensively…

I just swapped out the 23".22 barrel for the 17" .177 barrel a few nights ago. Got a new guy coming to the FT match this weekend to check out some guns so I reconfigured for him to maybe shoot the Ghost in competition if he'd like.

Swapping calibers is a 3-5minute processo, if you don't know what you're doing, and a 2-3minute process if you do know what you're doing and you're moving slow.

Remove the grub screw for the barrel, slide out barrel/shroud assembly and set aside. Slide in new barrel/shroud assemble and replace set screw.

Remove the Allen key that hold the probe and slide probe out the rear of the gun. Slide probe for new caliber in and replace Allen key.

That's it.

Of course verify scope zero hasn't changed. It's usually within a couple clicks, across all three of my barrels (.22, .20, .177).

Who makes the best barrels for the ghost, are the kits expensive? thanks again joey

 

[Franklink]

Right now the barrels for the Ghost are all Lothar Walthers.

There's a new barrel manufacturer, called "SubMOA" though, that I suspect will be eventually making Ghost barrels.

Last time I looked I think I remember a Ghost barrel kit being around $450. That includes the shroud, the barrel, the probe, and a magazine.

Awesome, I would like to someday try a different barrel rather than by a new gun.
I need some scope mounts for the Hawke sidewinder 30 6-24x56 not sure about the height,. on the Hatsan i had to go with high mounts to clear the magazine, that doesn't seam to be on the ghost, I'm not sure what to order for size and quality. any tips.

 

[Franklink]

I have Medium height UTG rings on my Ghost. Using a 6-24 Athlon Midas Tac.

 

[Solo1]

A hp barrel kit is $598 + shipping thats the barrel shroud and probe a magizine is $125.00

Yup medium is a safe bet. I went with the lower priced Element rings. Great quality and lighter than their "premium" ones. I may try lower rings but WOULD NOT RECOMMEND high rings for any gun with a rail system. My scope axis is legit a hair under 3 inches compared to bore. Gun/me is useless under 20 yards.

Looks likes there's a bit of a range....

And I didn't realize that's doesn't include the magazine. I'm not a magazine user so I didn't even factor that in.

I recall reading If u live in the UK the kits come with Mag...anywhere else its barrel, probe n shroud only. I prefer it that way anyways!

The kits come to aoa with a mag. Aoa takes the mag out to sell separately

Your combo is not meant to be utilized sub 20 yards…

Do you have proof of this? Was just fantasizing about converting my .22 Ghost to a .30 caliber Phantom…

Buy a barrel and you will see the packaging has been opened. I complained about getting a used barrel as i got a blast of air in my mouth on first shot cause there was no breech o ring and was told by aoa that it wasn't used but opened to remove mag

Dan if you get chairgun (free app) it will tell you where to aim off your reticle for shorter yardages. Mine is 3 “ off barrel too gives me 20 - 43 yds hold is ctr with my ft rig and i shoot to 10 yds to around 20 yds thru a 3/8” hole in ft
