highly recommend. it's surprised me with keeping usable velocity despite shrinking paint, even better than my efficiency modded k2 & p68sc's. comfy, pointable, & super compact

Well, we can ask bluefork if that's one of his now

Nothing too crazy but they all have something special about them. I finally got them all rebuilt today after years of them sitting in a box in the closet because I didn't have a valve tool or face seals.
It was fun disassembling them and discovering all the old school mods their previous owners had done. Somebody loved each of these guns.
The PMI-1 in particular has a delrin pump, Cooper-T bolt, speed feed, trigger shoe, fast changer, and a velocity adjustment mod on the hammer that I thought was ingenious. The hammer is tapped for a grub screw that's accessible through the bolt-lug hole when the gun is assembled. There is a ball bearing inside the hammer that the main spring rests against. When you turn in the grub screw it puts pressure on the ball bearing which compresses the main spring. It's like an RVA but in reverse! An FVA!
I don't have a detent solution yet, I'm hesitant to attempt home-brew wedgits. Maybe I can find some giant paint but until then it's rollout city.

Thanks Havoc, that looks like something I could trust myself to do! At least if I botch it it's reversible.

JeepDVLZ45 made Walzmas pistol, with my flea market knob bolt added on a bluefork frame. Just swapping bits around. Figured I'd share.

That knob really fits the patina well! Especially for only $1!

Yeah that knob is way cooler than I initially figured. I managed to wash it with soap and water to get the rust and haze off while leaving this beautiful deep patina. I also like the fact that that blem on the back is from this knob being in a bucket with a 3/8" bolt for who know how long.
