Ghostly questions barrel/grips

I have 3 questions concerning my new Grey Ghost (2006)
-I cant find any barrel kits that fit in the pump handle, and I was wondering if there is one I dont know about that is 7/8" for the first 7" including the spyder threaded end? or is it possible to have someone machine a spyder threaded barrel to accept freak inserts?
-what kind of grips fit the ghost? and where could I find some if anywhere other then in the B/S/T section? (wood or rubber)
-does the ghost use the same springs as a phantom?

thank you in advance and any help or info is appreciated

I'm not sure about the barrel kit, but it would be a bit tough. Not much meat there.

The grips are PMI style. Palmer's sells some, and you might still find soem SP wood ones.

Nelson springs are pretty standard. IIRC, some Autococker spring kits will work, but I'm not absolutely sure what years. My '96+ kit *looks* the same as my Phantom spring, but I haven't had to try it yet.

You may try a J&J edge kit. I used to have one that fit my Phantom and believe it would also fit my ghost. You are most likely not going to be able to use a insert type kit....you'll have to use a kit with backs and such.

I could'nt find a set of grips that fit my ghosts frame. Sheridan grips are too small and mag style grips dont fit the contour of the frame.

Just as Deus stated find yourself a cocker spring kit....They are the same springs.

did the old ghosts have the spring inside the pump handle that fit around the barrel?

i was looking at some pictures of original ghosts and it looks like some parts are compatible does any one know what parts will work on ghosts old and new, or if lapco is making new accessories anytime soon?



old questions still unanswered

Pretty much all of the parts are compatible besides the stock class block and the little ball detent nubbin.

Grips are unique to the ghost.

I dont know if the new ghosts use standard style bottomlines now or if they still use long ones.
