PGP2 bolt upgrades

[HBPredhunter]

I just got a pgp2000 and I am looking for the cooper t bolt for it, or a "centerfire" bolt.
also looking for rubber grips or anything better than stock.
If you know someone doing freak boring also let me know I'd like to have that done

Cooper T bolts are hard to come by. If you want a centerfire bolt you’ll have to move the feed hole forward because the bolt is longer than the rim fire bolts. Which means taking the tubes apart. There are a few on here who do freak mods but it’s either they are booked or busy with life in general. You could try contacting JeeperCreeper.

You cannot freak bore a pgp...

Only way to get a free system on to them is to replace the entire upper tube it is doable but it's a little bit more involved.

I'll throw my hat into the ring to do your PGP upgrade. I would not freak bore it - your basically building a new gun and adding a ton of weight. What I can do is wedgits - 2 without de-soldering, 3 if I take it apart. can also do a palmers style valve job to get more consistent velocity above 260 or so, pad the bolt, and provide you with a really comfy 3d printed grip that i sell here. here are couple photos of my work. I can strip the stupid black paint and go brass or patina in a nice Black similar to the earlier PGP's. I Will dig out my more recent one and take pics. It makes the PGP a totally usable and super fun marker to play with instead of a pile of frustration! highly recommend RVA, quick change and spring kit from PGP junkies to really round it all out. PM me for pricing and options.

What is a palmer's style valve job?

[HBPredhunter]

It's got an rva and a nice quick 12 gram cap which is factory on the pgp2k.
otherwise ready for some nice mods

[Drcemento]

Palmers style valve jobs for the pre-cartridge PGPs involved widening the transfer port, Plugging 2 of the 4 holes, reaming out the inside of the valve body and threading an alignment screw to hold the valve in the correct orientation. cartridge valves were a little different but the concept was the same - ream everything out to allow more volume up through the transfer port. It makes a big difference in consistency, recharge time and velocity. Add in some wedgits and its actually a really fun gun to play with.

Thanks for the explanation!
