Can't say it'll help the resale of originial 'Ghosts, but they look nice.
A little price heavy, I'd have to say, because I'm assuming a Phantom performs just as well, and maybe even better, yet a VSC Phantom with .45 grips is $100 less.

It reminds me of a phantom really. Epecially the fact that phantoms and ghosts are both super-natural beings...
Oh and Mec... Dye? :eyes::eyes:

Well, they do give me money....Well, they DID before my team fell apart.
Anyway, on topic, Phantoms and Ghosts are both Nelson based, so it's no big surprise they look the same.
Mind you these aren't internal cocking, and they have 90* twelvie changers, instead of 12* back.

Wow, if I understood that, I'd put a witty sentance here.

I'm not trusting it for a second until initial preorders are filled. If I want a Ghost, I'll get an original. Hell, half of the parts to these "new" Ghosts are made by CCI.

I'm debating whether or not to sig that.
Too similar to a Phantom to really make it worth the price, especially because the Phantom is tried and true (well the old Ghost was too) and more readily available.

Yep, they've been talking about bringing it back for years. At least this time it looks, on face value at least, like they may have actually carried through with the promise.
Having said that, I always preferred bore drop markers to breech drop, so I actually preferred the Grey Spirit.
I'm also not keen on markers that have to have the thumb screws to align the power tube assembly with the receiver - I'd much rather have it sleeved in as is the case with the Phantom.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is "bring back the 1990 style Line SI Bushmaster!" :D

That could be a very possible reality for ICD, if SP's lawsuits forces them to discontinue the Freestyle and Promaster.
Then again, they can't make it suck *coughsigcough*

I think that things first started to slip with the Advantage - no-one really wants a double-action "semi auto" do they? Then the original Pro Master semi was just nasty.....
The Bushmaster pumps though were classics.

phantoms look higher quality than that. that thing just looks ugly, it's not sleek and sexy like a phantom.

yeah well i wouldn't preorder one anywayz... the started preorders last year because it was going to be released.... guess what happened!!!! they decided not to release it when they said it would be. i wouldnt hold my breath waiting for lapco.... isn't the first time they've done something like that
and as stated b4 a phantom is just as good if not better and its cheaper
