Some Palmer/modding questions - specifically 3way..
Hi all!
So in my current venture to get back into the game, a friend gave me a damn good deal on a squallicane.
Needs some work- but absolutely in my wheelhouse. Or was- I haven't teched in many a year.
Anyway, so the first thing is the 3 way leaks. I .. well I'm not a fan of the quickswitch, and this one is a little beat up.
Are there other CO2 friendly options? If I need to rebuild it I will- but I'd almost rather replace if the pricing is right.
Also- the bracket: I don't know if this is Palmer standard, but it's kinda rough cut. Think- Dremel and no fine polished look. It's hidden by the wood- but bugs me. I could fix it up more, but I feel there could be better options. (I'll post pics later today when service isn't sketchy).
The spring feed- is manipulated by a string. It works- but I much, much prefer cutouts with a slide. Is there some unknown advantage to the string?
Lastly- and I may get some flack for it.
But pneumatics with a 12 gram is... Not my best experience. The idea of burning a 12ie just to check if it's leaking... Not ideal.
Does anyone make a vertical adapter for say a 3.5/4 oz tank? Or 15*. I'm guessing no, as it's be going straight into valve/where the lpr is. But maybe a converted T fitting and asa would work...
Before I delve into custom machining I was hoping to see if these already were a thing.
Anyway, all the best, and again, gonna add pics as soon as I'm able to.
