    Grey ghost velocity issues

    Last months i got in My hands a Grey ghost pump marker and wanted to use it to save money on paint but got into some trouble as it shoot the paint very weakly, tought it was the hpa and got a c02 tank for it but i get the same results, i'm trying to see i can adjust the velocity but had no luck yet

    Didn't I send you some pictures on reddit of the freak boring process? Well results anyway.
    As Ecap said, the stock barrel is quite a bit bigger than paint is these days. What velocity are you getting?

    If you just do nail polish or fishing line style detents you are going to have to spring the hammer harder to get it up to speed (if you can).
    The stock spring weight is pretty light overall. Some Autococker hammer springs will get you started.

      Partial roll outs also will result in low and erratic velocity. Make sure the gun is tilted up when you chrono and then check the velocity.

      Besides modifying the barrel substantially you can use a harder main spring.

      The phantom online sells a red one which may be what you need. But you could have a really light spring in there so even the silver aka normal phantom spring might get you to the right velocity.

      There is often adjustment in the bolt which can be achieved with an Allen wrench from the front of the bolt. A long rod can do this or you can take the gun apart for it.

      Check that the portion you adjust is not loose. It may need some loc tite (removable type) so that it doesn't drift around.

      But only loc time it once you know it's working well.
