Cup seals

After exchanging a few emails with Jesse at EV, he sounds like they aren’t going to change anything, or correct anything. Their view is that something must be wrong with both my phantoms, not their seals. Looks like I’m going to try a few of the options the gracious MCBers have suggested so far in this thread.

:/ glad I have two CCI phantoms that will probably out live me. Let us know if you find something that works! Kind of a shame that so many issues with their EVs.

I could sell you a couple backups, just in case. 😉 ....you do realize, this is MCB, and I'm talking about 2 mostly CCI Phantoms. 😂

I like the way you guys think, just found out from the guy I picked up the new phantom from that the stock class body with detents is the 2.0 not original CCI. What idiosyncrasies am I in for?

EV 2.0 body = 👍
EV 2.0 trigger assembly ASA/VASA kit = 🤦♂️ but, there's ways to by-pass. 👍

EV 1.0 trigger assembly > EV 2.0 trigger assembly ASA/VASA kit....full disclosure: I've not used a EV 2.0 body or trigger assembly/ASA/VASA kit. Only the EV 1.0 trigger assembly(ie.OG CCI style) and a CCI ASP detent modded body. 😉

That is absolutely ridiculous. He’s blaming Mike’s stuff for their problems. That’s probably their same excuse for why the extremely expensive 2.0 frame sucks…you just need to buy the entire rest of the gun to go with it!

Does this guy have an account here? Is he going to explain why his form of hackery and denial is so great that it’s worth burning through 30 years of good will he can never earn back again?

If you aren’t getting rollouts then the 2.0 body is fine. Mine didn’t ship with correct o-rings so I had to waste time and money on experimentation I wasn’t at all interested in. The body itself seems perfectly fine, which is good because it was three times the price of the body I bought a few years before.

Thanks for the heads up, I actually just found your old post and am on the hunt for some replacement o rings just to ensure it works before I get to the field. Previous owner said they didn’t prevent roll outs for him just double feeds so I assume they arnt the right o rings.
sorry to hijack the thread. Appreciate yall.

I bought a phantom from EV and the seals were nothing but issues. They sent me replacements. Some looked like my child cut them out with crazy scissors. They did not work and if they did it was temporary. Ones I replaced with old CCI seals. It worked. EV is frustrating.
