- In this video, I dive into how to unlock the full potential of the BRK Ghost with some basic tuning tips! Join me as I review the Daystate BRK Experience Days and then get hands-on with tuning my Ghost. Ever wondered how to get the best performance out of your airgun? Watch to discover all the insights and tweaks that can elevate your air rifle shooting game.
We kick things off with a tour of the Daystate BRK Experience Days, offering a mix of presentations, activities, and hands-on shooting with various air rifles. From learning about the history and assembly of airguns to trying out high-powered models, this event was a blast! Afterward, I shift gears to tuning my BRK Ghost. I share my step-by-step process, tips I picked up from experts, and my own trial and error.

Seems like I had an issue with the FX chrono app misreporting the ft.lb figures for the 10.35grain pellets. I now realise that they're quite hot so I'll be turning the reg down a few bars to compensate. Thanks for all the heads-up! I also noticed during editing that the cocking lever bolt had worked itself loose and that's now been tightened down. Many thanks to all the eagle-eyed viewers for your feedback. 😀👍
Came here to say exactly that 😅
Was great to meet and speak with you at the Daystate & BRK event, i do enjoy watching you content. Look forward to you testing the barrel clamp
Thanks, it was a pleasure to meet you too. 🙂👍
Interesting video to watch and set of results to look at. The reg pressure, hammer weight, travel and spring pressure are all interlinked to give the speed to the pellet. For sub 12 ft-lb, if you up the reg pressure you will have to compensate by reducing the hammer travel or spring pressure etc. It tends to be a long process of multiple adjustments. Sub12 airgun channel is fantastic, but you don't get to see the amount of testing they must do to get their results. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing. You're right, which is why I followed up by checking the power wheel which is I believe a hammer spring adjuster! 🙂👍
Absolutely fantastic.. Brilliant vid..
Many thanks. 😀👍
Excellent vid and information, as I've come to expect from this channel. (No pressuire) :D
Much appreciated! 😀👍
Hi buddy , you didn’t have to do that with a screwdriver, that’s just a little grub screw that can come out , really enjoyed the vid , keep them coming 👍
Hey you're right! I didn't think to stick an allen key in there. 😀👍
You have a great channel. Thank you.
I appreciate that! Many thanks. 🙂👍
❤ interesting I luv this type of content 👌👌👌👌👌
Good to hear! 😀👍
Good and informative mate👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks 👍
Great video Jeff, and always great information and a good watch, you can't beat a bit of your gun porn🤣😊🤣 I always learn something new from your videos, so I thank you for that✌️👌👍💕
Hi Johnny, thanks for you continued support, I really appreciate it. 😀👍
Hello , thanks for making these videos, it was nice to meet you at the daystate brk experience days , I am the Indian guy that talk to you 😂
Hi, good to hear from you. How did you get on with the fac rifles?
Thats interesting information about the recovery time , I didn't even think about that
@@hftshooterits brilliant I have only use it down my local range , only getting about 100 shots , I have to get some heavy 25 gr as the 16 gr are going supersonic 1078 on lowest setting , but look forward to testing heavier jsb 25 gr
The screw at the centre of the regulator is for the regulator adjuster knob that can be purchased from Bagnall & Kirkwood. This threaded centre is integral to the regulator so please don't anyone damage this! The regulator knob and screw are parts 148 & 112 (Regulator adjuster knob and screw)
Fitting the regulator knob seems a bit of overkill for the sub12 rifle as it's not something that you're going to regularly change. As far as I'm aware adjusting the centre screw does exactly the same thing and it's already there. I'm just following guidance from other channels like sub12airgunners who show this and know far more than me.
You must not fit the adjuster knob to a sub12 ghost as that will then make it an illigal firearm if you do not have a valid FAC. The law states that sub12 air rifle must only be adjustable with a tool to increase and decrease the power. Fitting the adjuster know then makes the adjustment a tool less task and therefore makes the sub12 rifle then able to be easily over sub12 without the need for a tool and therefor if you are caught with it you will be nicked. This is the reason the reg is set and the knob is not included in the sub12 version from factory.
Good test and set up. Have you tried the barracuda 8 they are so good. I noticed in your test your cocking pivot Allen bolt has come undone this happed to me as well hope you don't lose it.
Yes, I tried the 8s but the AA fields were better. I actually noticed that bolt when I was editing the video, so all secure now thanks. 😀👍
So at face value, you have increased the reg pressure by 5bar, but it seems that it was probably better before you touched it. Perhaps your efforts may have been better spent polishing the imperfections from the rifling in the barrel, which would by itself tightened up the groupings and increased fps by itself. From what I have read, this is the result. Thanks for the video👍🏻
Yes, I'm on a journey of discovery. What I didn't know before I now have a better understanding of. Learning all the time. I'm not aware of any indications that the barrel needs polishing. I'm sure I've already pushed some pellets down it to check, but I'll give it another go when I get the chance. Thanks for watching. 🙂
You may want to recheck the energy calculations for the JSB heavy’s you’re VERY close to legal limit. 707 fpe is not 9.3 ft/lbs with 10.34 gr.
Thanks for the heads-up. I just blindly took the data from the FX app linked to the chrono. It's clearly not calculating correctly. 👍
@@hftshooter I’ve done it myself with the fx chrono if you forget to change the pellet weight
@@reaney41 Thanks. I had a closer look at the user manual and it recommends having a separate rifle profile for each type of pellet used. guess I should have read it more carefully!
😮723 FPS with JSB Heavy pellets is 12 FPE. The Huma reg setting was 110 bar from the factory for a reason. I would suggest leaving it at 110 bar if I was you. Thanks for taking the time to put out this content though 👍
Hi Jeff, great content again. Did you alter the pellet weight on the chrony for the last test? 723@10.34 is right on the 12ft-lbs mark 🙂
Thanks Peter, I've had a few comments about that. I just read off the chrono figures and didn't check. I did adjust the pellet weight for the string but it appears that the app prefers a separate rifle profile for each different pellet. Learning all the time! 😀👍
@@hftshooter Technology, don't you just love it 🤣
Can't wait to see you stretched out a little.. I'm a 0 at 35y Type of dude. Even some s***** guns With decent pellets, Can give you a false sense Confidence at 25y
With hindsight I should have gone to 35 yards for the test but wanted to lesson the wind impact and try out my new pellet trap.
