Who works on PPS guns these days?

[ryan]

Hey friends, I have two Typhoons both in need of service. Now that PPS is kaput, who works on these? Anyone? Thanks!

You might try Trbo323 I've heard rumors that he's a PPS whisperer.

[Trbo323]

Damnit. Yes, I can.

1) I hate working on them
2) they are a huge pain in my ass and take absolutely forever

Because of reasons 1 and 2, I charge more than just about anything else I work on

Also understand that there's risk in working on pps stuff. Palmer's used red lock tight and roll pins to put them together. Every one I've worked on so far has needed a hammer and a torch to get all the way apart

All that said. I likely won't have time to take them on until mid summer at the earliest

This is exactly why I don't do them for anyone 😅
Last I took on (for a close friend) to 3 full rebuild and 2 more partial, and it's not quite done yet (I need to machine a new inner valve sleeve as they used locktight to keep it seal 😑)

Tim is a solid guy, but can be a bit hard to get a hold of.

The closest thing to a 'Factory Rebuild' for the PPS

got a whole new meaning since Palmer closed

It's worth noting that I'm more than happy to work on them, too- really, I work on anything and everything that shoots a paintball.

But I'm pretty swamped at the moment.

Doc.

Didn't know you worked on PPS too, now you got a turning center ... And PPS is out ... Are you gonna make conversion kits? 😁

+1 for tim - he's shockingly fast with them too

also +1 on communication difficulty lol

I've worked and rebuilt quite a few pps. Im a fan boy for life. They're difficult to do the initial service cause of all the red loctite. Sometimes epoxy. Once you get them apart they're quite simple to work on. Only problem is parts. Back when I caught wind of pps possibly closing I went on there and bought all the parts I could so I can have something to go off of to replicate and rebuild all of mine. I want to rebuild all of the valve stems I have.

Can’t wait to see a picture of your Palmers collection.

[ryan]

Boomboom do you work on other people's guns?

[Boomboom]

I do, but there's big stipulations with it. If it's never been apart I can't guarantee that anything won't lose it's black anno. Sometimes they take quite a bit of heat to get apart. The biggest bear is getting the lpr housing out of the tube with the red loctite and o-rings being goo. I have a master o-ring kit so I usually change around a few of their O-ring sizes due to tolerances on some. Only thing I don't have if they are bad is the tiny valve stem seal for the lpr.
Also I've found a new spark for teching again. But turnaround time would be whenever I can get to it. Once the snow melts im married to my business and run 6-7 days a week. Also typhoons are the more challenging one. I have a typhoon and a nasty typhoon

[Boomboom]

When I do have them and can dedicate a full day to fix them they usually take a day a piece to build

[ryan]

Gotcha, thanks!
