    Posted: 11 July 2008 at 7:25pm

Okay so I got the parts I was needing and I went on to get a 12gram changer and a 15 round feed tube. What do you guys think I could do from here? I was thinking about doing some kind of paint or something but from what I've heard painting phantoms is heresy.

This is when i originally got it.

P7110061

Now:

P8040131

P8040134

I just got this pretty cheap, its a PT professional and by searching and yeilding almost no results for it I've assumed its pretty old or first generation for the PT line. I have a question about it though, when I first tried airing it up it leaked it all out in a matter of seconds, I changed what i think was a cup seal. (the oring where the 12 gram connects/ is punctured?) It improved but wasn't perfect. It would fire a few times and then start leaking again until i cocked it, after cocking it the leak stopped. Any thoughts on what to do?

P8040130

It's pretty sweet, I'm excited about it, now i just have to find an oversized holster, because it's huge.

Ah, a classic unibody. I wouldn't worry about the bolt so much as long as the ball sits fine in the chamber. Have fun with it.

I might have run out of co2, could i try HPA?
edit* You know what, I think I lost a spring that sends the bolt back onto the
valve to release the air.

^^^could be.

Make sure you have everything in there correctly too.  Even though it's a simple marker, order of operations counts.

Yeah, I double checked, and I finally figured it out, after a quick youtubing. I swear youtube saves me. -i actually learned a math lesson from youtube better than from my class.

I can't, it's a unibody. The frame and barrel are one piece. Another slightly interesting thing is the pump. It can't be removed either, because the diameter of the gun gets to big at the back and the brass beed at the front prevents it from passing forward.

it's not a big deal.

okay so i figured out the thing with the PT pro. I changed the Valve face Seal oring. I probably need to change what i now know is the cupseal... right? does anybody know where to get one?

Yeah, the cupseal most likely needs to be changed, but this is assuming you have tried to oil it already. If you haven't, then put a few drops of oil on the part of the 12 gram that gets pierced and then air it up. Or even better, take it apart and put a good amount of oil in the valve. I'm sure you've done this already, but one of the PGPs I just sold had a similar leak and this took care of the issue. For now at least.

Yeah I've tried that, but it has to be the cupseal and vavle because even when i cock the gun and then air it up after i fire it repeatedly it becomes uncocked and starts spewwing out air again. Its basically built the same way delta 68's are and by what the troubleshooting Q&A's tell me I think I'm going to replace those somehow.
