Man, but I’m sorry. I just saw this post. I own the Parker Hale Phoenix too. In fact I’m on my second one due to a repair issue with the first one I owned (which I bought used from AoA). In fact, AoA graciously sent me a new off-the-shelf Phoenix when repair problems cropped up with my old one. #178. I now own # 38 and it works flawlessly. I sue 3-in-1 oil on the air cylinder, and it works like a charm. My sample prefers the JSB 18 grain pellet for best accuracy, Some time ago I posted a video of my first sample, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBNYs3ZY4KE
Tell me more about your experience. I’ll add that these seem to be slow movers when offered for sale, in the US anyway.

PS I have to say I reach for this gun more so than I do my Edgun R3M or my Crosman 1701p (the only PCPs I own now since culling the herd). It’s non-FAC power makes it more backyard friendly than the Edgun (which is 3x more powerful). Of course it hits harder than the Crosman pistol too. As you know,the underlever design proves to be excellent for getting off multiple shots in a hurry.
