Old Dye/PB LPR's - Parts Interchangeable?

[Sottyman]

Recently picked up a 2003 Reflex needing a LOT of TLC. Ended up having to damn near trash the stainless base of the lpr removing it from the front block. Does anyone know if I can use the base from a PB lpr and pretend it never happened? Thanks!

In theory they might be however I wouldn't trust the tolerances to work together. I tried to use a PB three-way shaft in a dye body and it was binding

That's my worry (we all know how amazing PB quality was...), but as long as the male threads on the base match the female threads on the body, I was hoping the oring making the seal would be good enough. I do have a spare Dye LPR and will use the base to get going, but ideally I'd like to have that one replaced

I’ve got all the original Dye front pneumatics and HPR in perfect shape if you’re looking. Shoot me a PM / offer.

Just following up, seems like the parts are Interchangeable at first glance. The PB cap and base thread to the Dye body no problem. Spring and piston appear to be able to interchange but I won't officially know until I reassemble and air it up.
