Sonoran First Attempt With slugs - BRK Sonoran .30

He's rocking the Brk L.W. slug barrel I do believe! Could you share with the class; pros v cons of each? Would be interested....or you mean the Sonoran is just more accurate?
Yes, it is the BRK LW barrel, really need to spend some more time shooting and playing with the Reg. and Springs as well. I was shooting out to 163 yards with the Ghost and hitting the 5in steel and the 3 inch, but still want to dial in at 100 yards better than I was getting on paper.
 
I'll give you half what you paid for it, it's ruined now! LOL Too funny.

Seriously, my condolences, sh!t like that really ticks me off too. I once scratched a beautiful wood stock going through a barbed wire fence, every living thing for miles around heard me that day!
I know I’m a baby lol. I just hate scratches that I didn’t cause.

I shouldn’t have said that I prefer the Sonoran over the Ghost. The accuracy of the Sonoran is definitely superior to the Ghost, which in itself makes it a little more enjoyable to shoot. My Ghost is sitting there unused right now until I can break it down. The side lever is extremely rough. Rough to the point that I’m worried that if I keep cocking it, I may damage it. I wouldn’t sell either of them.

When you tear it apart there should be a brass bushing on the pivot screw or it might just be dirty. Watch not to get too much lube down by the trigger as mine on 1 gun got a bit on trigger and is sticky when calking first time i have to giggle the trigger to get it to catch

I think it’s something in the hammer/spring area. It got worse after I un-jammed the hammer and reassembled it.

Pull the parts off butt of gun till you get to valve. Look for lead you might have had a pellet fall back into the action. If using a single shot loader this is common. Oh wait you had the stuck valve after dry firing?
Not sure if you looked, but BRK has some beneficial videos on YouTube, the guy is from
England, but explains all of this very well. I saw one regarding lead getting into the trigger area, if my mind is correct, getting old, LOL.

I haven’t used a pellet tray. But, I’m going to have to pull it apart anyway. I have the J-B coming tomorrow. I’m going to polish the barrel on both the Ghost and the Sonoran and probably going to convert the Ghost to .30. I’m stuck on whether to spend half the price of a Sonoran to do a caliber change.

Lol that's a bit much🤑!? If I recall the 👻 barrel kit is about 1/3 of the cost of a new Ghost?, which still does seem kinda high....that's one more reason I like my maple Custom mags. Pellets don't fall out. Factory mag is annoying, I will often have pellets cycle out and fall on floor when handling it. (Get a mag or 2 from them, that will save some money anyway on the conversion)... And I'm not clumsy 🙄
 
@Billm have you shot any more groups with the Sonoran and are they good but throwing a flyer?
I’ve shot a lot of groups lol. I think I’ve gone through 6-7 tins in 4-5 days. My groups have tightened back up with an odd flyer. But a flyer is 1-1.5” spread, whereas my other guns it’s 2-3”. I believe I have just learned how much impact a 5mph wind has on a pellet (even a .30). I sighted the Sonoran in at 100yds with an unusual no wind. I shot it later that day with what I thought was a slight crosswind and was shocked that the POI had shifted 3-4” to the right. I have not shot a group as small as I got the first day that I shot it. I have had a high percentage of sub-moa groups. The wind here is terrible and my technique or lack of a consistent technique are the big limiting factors.

I wasn’t buying the BRK conversion. With shipping and one mag it was about $850. If I end up doing it, I will look at their mags.

$550 for the sub-Moa barrel, $45 for the pellet probe, $125 per mag, $50 for adapter. $70 expedited shipping. I tried to place the order and they Ghosted me - no pun intended.
When I bought my .22 cal. 28-inch barrel, it came with the pellet probe, and I think I paid $575
++Edit++ I looked up what I paid, and it was $597, with the pellet probe.
 
I’m just going to wait for a Sub-MOA for the .25.
Ya sorry forgot the others. Gee you might get yours before me mine says monday
unfortunately it’s not going to happen. On Saturday I was told I could have one, long story short: I received a call from “someone” tonight explaining why I wasn’t getting one. No point in hashing it out in public. 😉
