Well This is kind of a story... I get home from work, and my mom says "Hey wanna go to a Garadge sale?" I thought Geeze old pople buying other people junk... But I had nothing to do besides be on the Net. So i Go down there and there is a Almost Brand-New Pro/Carbine Sitting there for 20$ the only thing wrong with it, is the owner tried to make his own ported barrel, and Trigger guard is broken, and there was no sling....  but Knowing that the Uber P/C has many upgrades I whip out 25$ and tell him to Keep the change. (I Guess it was his son's gun but he quit paintballing and all that gun has been doing is been collecting dust) After i brought it home I went directly down to my Room and gutted the thing and there seemed to be not 1 problem, I Had just a tid bit of c02 left over from the last game and it Fired like normal, nothing seems out of the ordinary and no leaks.

  So all you Pro/Carb Guys I kinda need a wee bit of Help... Here is the list of Upgrades that I was ganna do to it... Add your extra .02$ into it so I can Add more into it... I May try the R/T thing but I dont think I Have enough Balls to do it yet.... (Yet anyway.)


Expansion Chsmber Kit (Vertical Adapter, and Xpansion Chamber)
Lapco DropForward w/ T-Stock.
Metal Feedport
Dye Stickies
Lapco Cocking Knob
J&J Cemaric 12"
New Sling Set.
Richochet AK

I would get a Double Trigger but Are there any Guards for it?

Also anything else I can Add?

The only way to get a 2x trigger gaurd for the pc (besides making your own) is to find an APP 2x PC trigger frame. Used they might go for around $25-30. All the upgrades you listed are great. The only unnecesary thing is the Lapco cocking knob. It's really just for looks.

Metal feednecks are for 68-Carbines not pro.

Sounds like a plan though. Do yourself a favor and buy some macroline or a short steel braid so you can flip the vert around. They arent very comforable angling back.

Ok the rumor is true that the Pro Carbine has a heavy trigger pull hence lowering rof.  There is a simple and better yet free solution to solve this problem.  First you have to take the left ( Left based on if your holding the gun ready to shoot) grip and grip frame off.  Then the last thing holding it together would be the ASA ( the thing that holds your Co2 tank).  Now you should be looking at the internals of the lower reciever.  We will be stretching the trigger spring to solve this problem.  The trigger spring is rhather self-explanitory but just in case it is the spring connected to the trigger. Now your Spring should look something like this when unstrectched now everybody PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!! THIS IS NOT THE SPRING YOU WILL BE STRETCHING JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU KIND OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER BUT DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT MODIFY THIS SPRING.   Well now that you know the before you might be wondering how to stretch it and it's simple just take the spring and trigger off of the pins then have someone stretch the spring out as far as it can like so 
now you take your screw driver and press the flat head side through the slots like so  I did about everyother one but just use common sence the more slots the lighter the pull but don't carried away you do it to much you will strectch it to far and create a lot of trigger play and it's just not good.  If it does happen don't worry just take a pair of needle  nose pliars and try to close it up again.  Now before you know it you've cut your trigger pull in more than half from 9lbs to 4lbs! Now you just put it back together with your new spring in place now your prob. ready to test it out your feelin pumped but wait you can't get your safety action to work!!!! AHH lol don't worry just take something kind of blunt ( I used the butt end of a screwdriver) and smack it into place now it will be just like it used to be.  Hoe this can help with anybody and there problems with to heavy of trigger pull.

Or just get an sl-68 II trigger spring for $2. Iits even lighter and keeps your trigger snappy.

But what I do I do because I like to do.
