JC's Brass thread

[JeeperCreeper]

Some minor tuning on this to get it shooting right. The old valve body was worn out and causing the pin to hang up and dump a carts worth of co2 all at once. Now its shooting great again.

Just watched the video man that is a smooth shooter,looks like the spring feed really helps out in a follow up shot.

[Drunkscriblerian]

I don't know why, but man...the sound the spring-feed made when you flipped it was soooooo satisfying.

[JeeperCreeper]

I got this Hounstooth body fixed up with a new thread insert. These are super picky about the height of that insert for clearance.

[JeeperCreeper]

Yeah its a fine line between too tall and not enough threads. I did this probably 5 times total, I kept ripping the threads out of any that I cut too short.

[Cal440]

Thanks for the reply, the one I have to replace is in a Pmi2 so I don't think that will be a issue. But that is good information to know for the future. Just watched the video below,that looks great I think might have to get in line for one!

[JeeperCreeper]

If the PMI takes 12 grams, you might still have to shave the thread insert down just a touch so it doesnt get in the way. If its CA tapped then no worries.

[JeeperCreeper]

I'll probably be making these and other trinkets for the next few days. Still catching up on orders.

[Cal440]

Could this be adapted for a side or center feed?

[JeeperCreeper]

I can make them for side feed, but it wont work on both. Its one or the other.

Clean Ducky likes!

I'm trying to finalize the design. Which of these 3 do you like best? The one on the right takes more materials, so obviously costs more to make. The one in the middle is a stripped down version of the first. And the left one is the most compact.

[binson]

I'm a fan of the smallest one.

[JeeperCreeper]

[Chuck E Ducky]

I think the last one looks the nicest

[Cal440]

I like the short one also.

[BrickHaus]

I'm with the short pp crew. Stop trying to make us feel inferior with those long ones.

[Impactfour]

oooh that bottom one is nice, if that one goes into production I might just have to snag it so I can throw the original one on the next pgp I buy

[JeeperCreeper]

Its been a pretty resounding yes here and FB. Its definitely looking like the short one is gonna win.

[Drunkscriblerian]

I'll cast a vote for the short one as well. In addition to being more compact, I like how the lever is to one side which clears it out of the sight picture.

On the whole though, very nice design and execution! It looks clean, easy to use and matches the existing gun well. I take it the thing just sits into the old feed cap's slot, or is there some modification one has to do to the gun?

[JeeperCreeper]

Yes it fits the old feed plug slot, meaning if you have a 2k, Ill have to make a different style for it to work.

[Drunkscriblerian]

Kinda what I figured. Fortunately mine's a classic PGP.
