$800 Phantom Autococker

[iamthelazerviking]

Another really funny description on an overpriced Phantom. Or "an autococker that can last you forever just as long as you dont turn the velocity on too high".

I saw that. Sucks because I need that changer and feed tube for mine.

The description reeks of an agglet trying to describe the history of paintball.

Its too good not to back it up here ...

One of my favorite markers of all time! Pump action sniper paintball marker with colt 45 grip. It shoots excellent just insert 12 gram co2 cartridge and your ready to yeet some paint! It's an autococker that can last you forever just as long as you dont turn the velocity on too high. The phantom has no leaks its also a co2 marker only. Idk if you can connect air to it remotely the stock is pretty rare this marker is discontinued. I used it once and it's just been sitting the trigger is awesome and comfortable to fire. I think its heavier then other models it's old. So you must handle it with care it holds 15 round balls these markers were made like in the 90s. It doesn't have very noticable scratches even the cci phantom logo is intact and I'll give you all the original parts and pieces it came with and extra feeds it has original brass airline macroline fittings it last forever. You could add a hpa tank but It has to be tiny or a hose. It's recommended you only fire the phantom at 250 fps. Gravity fed mechanical marker.

thats a weird way to say "i couldnt seem to get it up over 250, no matter how hard i tried"

…Because I don’t have the stock silver springs in it.

That’s a painful description.

to me it’s an outright scammer or someone trying to dishonestly describe the gun as if they’re knowledgeable based on google searches rather than just name the gun and describe it physically with photos.

[JeeperCreeper]

He dropped it down to $600 now. If he dropped another $300 from it, it might be worth it

[Greentorpeedo]

Ok I did end up picking it up after talking him down. But I also noticed he had an open class matching body which I also had him add guess I'll see what I end up with *shrug*

[JeeperCreeper]

Nice. Let me know if you want to part with that blue acid feed tube or quick changer.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Nice post some better pictures when you get it. You end up getting a decent deal on it? I got one just like that it’s a great color combo.

[Greentorpeedo]

I will definitely post better pictures. I wouldn't call it a steal but it was good. I think I need a feedneck for the open class body? It has that port but as I recall no feedneck itself (he took down the other post with the picture) Are there blue black acid wash feed necks?

[Chuck E Ducky]

With the stove pope style feeds you can just slip fit hoppers over them. Use something to clamp the outside. You could cut it down an add a regular feedneck but I wouldn’t do a classic Ano body like that. If it were mine I would just snag an open class feedneck for the stock Class body. Probably won’t find one Ano matching but a gloss black one would look good. There is a member that made adapters that take a newer empire style feed. I have an extra one if you have a hard time finding one you would need to buy an empire style feedneck as it’s just the mounting plate. But they are cool because you can switch out the empire spring feeds on the same feed block. Oh also a CCM feed neck base will bolt on the same way as the CCI one with one screw. If you happen to have one laying around.

[Cunha]

I like the original centerfeed bodies.

one piece molded hoppers can be forced onto the feed tube in most cases and are rock solid. Maybe a bit of sanding needed. But it’s no nonsense and works good.

two piece hoppers like a vl200 you wrap with tape then jam over and then they’re rock solid too.

[Greentorpeedo]

It looks quite good, only a few little scratches nothing too bad. Aired up fine (CO2). I suspect it's shooting hot currently because it just blew up the first few balls. I'm not to familiar with the long two piece barrel but I may get both freak bored not sure if I should get both regular or maybe the long one XL? The extra body is that side feed (unibody?) Any suggestions for a feedneck on that thing?
Well it's looking good.

[iamthelazerviking]

Very nice! If it were me, I'd just get the body modded for ASP detents and leave the barrels as-is.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That blue is bright nice! Mine is a lot darker.

[rathbaster]

II suspect it's shooting hot currently because it just blew up the first few balls.

Check the screw that holds the stock class feed down
If it is to long it protrudes into the breech and destroys paintballs
The proper size is 8-32 x 5/8" Cap Head

[Chuck E Ducky]

Also if the front thumb screw is missing the bumper oring on at the place it touches the trigger group it can protrude ever so slightly into the breach. Silly question is it freak bored and you forget to put an insert? Done this myself before.

[iamthelazerviking]

Theol longer barrel with removable muzzle show its age, those were offered once upon a time and are on the rare side. I imagine there just wasn't much demand for them.

[Chuck E Ducky]

They were common in gloss black but we’re not often color matched. You could get one right up until Mike sold the company in gloss black.

With ASP detent mod it don’t matter what barrel you put in the front of the phantom it’s gunna shoot good! I suggest sending that body out to get modified.

[The Great Equalizer]

I got one (in gloss black) in 09'ish that I've been meaning to get freaked.

[Greentorpeedo]

So I sent the body out to get the ASP detent when I got the gun end of June. It's September now. I know I have heard that once you give up hope of ever seeing it again it will suddenly arrive... I'll keep you updated.

[Carp]

Yep, the body should arrive about mid Sept. 😆 Did you send in both the stock class center feed and the right side direct feed?
