Clear Phantom Parts?

[Booska]

I'm looking to hunt down a clear Phantom feed tube cap. How much should I expect to pay for one?

Does anyone know if there was ever a clear part made for the other plastic bit on the front of the 12rd feeds?

Did CCI make these? Or was it a small run out of someone's garage?

[XEMON]

I believe CCI made them, but stopped because they were cracking and not holding up ...


Be patient, and there might be an alternative ...

just sold these for $115.

was told afterwards i "got robbed"
lol


maybe the cap is worth $60 by itself?
Apparently, the feed "block" is super desirable and worth more than that

The feed block is money. Being able to see your paint drop is mint.

I have a set of them. Decent condition I can get you pictures tomorrow.

[Booska]

Sweet, I'd be interested in checking them out. I'd only be looking for the feed cap.

I might try to make my own plastic bit for the front of the 12rd feed. Maybe acrylic? I don't think those exist yet.

I have a clear handle I won’t be using

They definitely exist. I have one on a phantom currently and the picture above shows one on the left.

I'm talking about the 12rd feed. Looks like the one on the left in that picture is the feed block for 10rd / 15rd feeds.

the 12rd feed has a little black plastic part in the front that sort of houses the screw that mates it to the body.

ahh thank you for your clarification, I misunderstood.

I have a clear handle I won’t be using if anyone is looking

Just to be…”clear”…these parts stopped being made because they suck. They are beautiful and extremely fun but it’s simply the wrong material for the job so anyone spending $$$ should know that these are mainly good for wall hanging and sometimes will actually crack even just hanging on a wall.

Once thats understood anyone still interested can buy with confidence. I just don’t want to hear anyone complain that they spent $200 on a pump handle that cracked the next day. That’s what they do.

[Chuck E Ducky]

They crack from over tightening or smashing them on things. But yes they are not as durable as the standard black ones. I have run clear parts for years without issues just can’t over torque them. I did get some discoloration between the handle and barrel due to paint and dirt getting trapped between the two.

Some Zerts heat-stake inserts might help significantly, if it's not too ugly. For a clear feed block, re-cutting the back for an o-ring fit instead of tapered threads and putting a steel sleeve underneath the body screw might do wonders for durability.
