Trilogy’s are awesome. Just sharing one of my favorite builds and shooter.

Well I guess I just bought a Trilogy Pro I saw on ebay. Little scratched up but it seems like the guts are in good shape. Of course we'll find that out once I've got it!Comment

A little late to the party, but:
Contrary to what Chuck said, I think cockers are very much set-it-&-forget-it markers. The trick is setting them up. Even then, it's not too bad. The Trilogy is made even easier due to the non-externally adjustable regulators & non-adjustable timing rod. I've owned many cockers over the years & all of them have been set-&-forget once I got them set up how I like. Unless you have to tear it apart, of course.
nighthunter When you get your Trilogy in, all you should really have to do (after maintenance, cleaning & reassembly) is to set the hammer lug to where you want & set the IVG to the velocity you want. Those are the only two external adjustment points on the entire paintgun. For starters, I'd set the IVG flush with the back or a couple threads in. Then set the hammer lug so the trigger breaks in the first half of the trigger pull. Finally, adjust the IVG to your desired velocity. Boom, done. You could then further tweak the hammer lug so the trigger breaks whenever you want.
Other notes:
-The Trilogy takes a (now the current standard) 11/16" valve.
-Ram is internally the same as a STO ram.
-HPR & LPR are internally the same as the old fixed regs on the 2k-2k3 WGP cockers, meaning they're rock solid. They need to be disassembled to adjust, but work fine as-is from the factory.
-They take 2k+ parts.
-An adapter is needed to use an aftermarket LPR, with the Palmer's Trilogy Micro Rock being the exception.
-Aftermarket trigger frames will most likely need a Trilogy-specific adjustable timing rod, as the stock fixed timing rod doesn't always play nice with other frames.
-Feedneck is smaller & won't accept the Halo, Rotor/LTR, Spire, etc. A Revolution fits perfectly & a 12v Revvy is all you'd likely need for a Trilogy. I would argue that agitating loaders are better for this application anyway. However, some MCBers offer machining services to allow the Trilogy to accept current feednecks.
Honestly, the factory pneumatics & regulators are just fine. WGP made some rock solid stuff back then. I'd just run it for a while & figure out what you really want to change before you start swapping out parts. The only things I swapped out in my Trilogy Tactical were the bolt & back block (to reduce reciprocating mass) & the cocking rod (hex on the shaft, no need for an allen at the chrono).
Do some reading or watch some tuning videos to get familiar with how cockers work. They're not really that bad, and a factory-stock Trilogy removes some steps & variables. In my opinion, the Trilogy is the absolute best newbie cocker. Have fun with it.Comment

Thanks for the information! So far the only thing I plan on changing is the ASA. All guns should have on/off's. Oh, and I have close to a dozen barrels to swap around on it. I've got a Primo and a VL Revvy that I'm guessing will fit okay, so it should be more or less ready to rock! -
I would add that you can easily bore out the feedneck to accept Rotors and Spires using a Dremel with a sanding drum bit. The trick is simply to use many light passes, to avoid removing material too unevenly and getting it out of round. Just a matter of doing a test fit every few passes until you can comfortably jam the hopper on there but it still has enough tension to hold reliably.

I hated my trilogy when I first got it. Semi auto with that goofy 1.5 finger trigger sucked. Then I pumped it and put a single trigger on. 20yrs later I still love it. Now own two. Pump FTW!Comment

Another thing about trilogies im surprised no one has mentioned is they have a 11/16 valve chamber which like someone has stated already makes them shoot a little betterComment
-
Sad part is everyone found out how great they are and there's no more $50 trilogies to be had anymoreComment

Disclaimer, I have minimal experience with trillies. BUT, I wanted to note that the folks at AutocockerParts just said they have some cool shit for Trilogies in the works right now in terms of pump kits, so keep an eye out for whatever they're cooking up.💀 PK x Ragnastock 💀Comment

Posted elsewhere, but it's here! The gun came with its original barel, but as you can see I have no shortage of alternatives! I've got a CP on/off and several feet of 3-way hose coming from ANS, but the gun airs up and shoots reballs around the house as is! (don't tell my wife!) I'm super excited to run it this coming weekend!

Just to add to this, TechT still has some mods for the Trilogies. Specifically a nut to swap the LPR, and an adjustable 3way shaft. If it even needs changes.

Final update: took it to the field and it ran all day like an absolute champ. Topped it with an old Revvy I had and it didn't break a single ball.
I'd always wondered whether the 3-way hose would get ripped off the gun if it took a direct hit, but the hose barb on the front of the LPR tanked a shot like nothing happened.
TBH I didn't feel handicapped running a mech like I thought I might: the gun definitely let me hold my own. The field has the electros capped out at 10.5 bps so I don't even feel I'm at a big firepower disadvantage since (I think) I can run the mech trigger nearly as fast.
Over the chrono, it was averaging 290 with about 6-7 fps average deviation. No adjustments required.
I cannot understate how happy I am with my purchase. I'm not sure It'll take over as my main gun, but it's definitely in the running. The only other upgrade I might add would possibly be having it cut for a clamping feedneck, but the gun shoots perfectly as is. I'm still almost giddy because of how well this gun ran.Comment

This is the true spirit of MCB. Y’all came together to help convince someone to buy a paintball gun and he loves it. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
