PPS Milled Blazer 2K

[El Gringo]

PPS Blazer 2K custom milled, anno after milling
who, when, where, why and how
picked this up on the fleabay for a decent price.
And would like to know what it could go for as is (leaker) and fixed up (shooting)
Who did the milling?
about when was the milling done??
Where the guy or girl who milled it went??
Why they milled it?? Looks?? Or weight?

685 brass powder coated barrel, 45 blade trigger, nickel accents, nickel male Stabilizer, black female stabilizer

And can I rebuild a blazer or best off to leave to PPS or FirPo? Or ??
how much would it likely cost to have it rebuilt with the 2 stabs?

Blazer is only really practical if you rebuild it yourself, totally doable if you're comfortable fiddling with a lot of parts, and if the rebuild kit is good. The QuickSwitch is kind of obnoxious and I think technically uses unique o-rings. I'm sure you'll get different thoughts, but I would not send it back to PPS at this point in time. Rebuild it yourself, or put it in a bin.

I bought one of the other blazers he had up, I got the black + nickel dual stab'd kit. I may rebuild it purely for purposes of making a video.

Do it! Do the video!

Aren't all Blazers PPS milled? :P

I sent mine back to PPS when it needed a rebuild cause I'm lazy. It was in the middle of COVID so hard to gauge repair time but it was a few months before they got to it. But I know they were slammed with non-pb work during COVID. But I have to say it is one of the fastest shooting non-space mechs I've ever owned. An absolute monster of a paint slinger.

Value-wise I think around 3-400 for a 2k with a double trigger is about right, maybe more since it's dual-regged?. There's so few on the market it's tough to say but that's what most seem to go about for.

I think Craig did that milling

99% chance of it being Craig palmer custom milled.

Blazers are super reliable for 10+ years until O rings age out. Swap new O rings and they are super reliable for years again.

I think 700 tops working perfectly.

500 tops leaking

Market is weird on those. Gotta get the right guy. Seems like a lot of us are looking for the Craig Palmer classic edition blazer, but this is a rarer gun as it is a one off...but because less people are looking for it specifically it might be a harder sell.

Man if I ever planned on playing semi auto ball any time I would want that gun pretty bad.

Hi everyome. That is my baby. Of course it would end up in El Gringo's possession.

Initially I sent the blazer to MCB Mod and Machinist Kidney Thief. When he returned it the milling was of course raw, but it felt very incomplete. I spoke with Craig who agreed to finish it for an additional $350 in milling and anno. Between the two trips to the USA, the taxes each time it came home, the conversion rate etc... that gun cost me $2+
