I stepped up to the plate and delivered a pneu frame from the ground up instead of stuffing parts into a stock frame. Our frames outperforms any DIY frame or conversions out there. I guess the only way for you to match it, is to copy it now.

I wonder just what Pro-Team Products might have to say about your "Patent" comment.
I seem to recall their names also appearing on Pneumatic Marker Triggering Set-up/Devices.
Think I might just give Forest a call and see if he might want to comment here.
todays date March 10, 2009.
the LPR wait continues...

GForce has been making paintball products at least 10 years that I'm aware of (Ravi briefly reviewed some their things back in the day) and they took a pneumatic marker - the 68 super - to market in the early 2000's.
To preempt another divergence on this thread 'm also a big fan of PTP's work btw.
No reason to test it, that's already been done. ;)Quote:

I saw this when it was first posted and got a little chuckle out of it. Perhaps it should have been "$" and last I checked TK offered up his forum to dealers at no charge.Quote:

So....Frame and LPR........How many?
OR
LPR only.........................How many?
Would I be correct to say that in any case all product that is in delay has been paid for in full
with shipping included or paid for????
Post up what you are waiting for so I know.
Everyone has their frame. 10 or 12 of us are waiting for our LPR's. That's all.
Correct, and LPR's have been paid in full including shipping.Quote:

I have one LPR on order that is paid in full and I have also sent in a CP direct mount to be milled.Quote:

Paid in full and waiting.......
Beemer - check page 65 for people who are waiting on it. The number is 12 per Garf.Quote:

GUYS...looks like Garth is right about the tickler....I just took apart my Gforce frame been running pneumaggers internal tickler set up. I have only shot 2500 rnds through it.
The extender has has nicks and gouges from the piston and the rear extender stop screw. Good thing I found it. No lasting issues as I will no be using it again without the G-Force LPR.
Just be warned...I suggest everyone open up there frames and take a close look at their extenders.

How about pics from someone NOT using a Tickler? Curious to see if there is much of a difference.
Good Idea...Quote:

Depends on how thick it goes on... the last thing you want is constant pressure on the sear when at rest. I think the ram and sear stop would chew through it quickly anyway, regardless of the LPR used.Quote:

Yeah it was gressed....
It's called "DIP" you can get it from Home Depot.You can tap a nylon tipped set screw into the sear leg where the piston is contacting the leg.Quote:

to be honest insixdays777, it doesnt matter if you are using a standard setup or garfs. you will get the "torn-up" area from the piston from metal hiting metal. exactly what it is, is a little harden thin rod hitting a soft larger piece of metal. its going to dick up the metal with little or great amounts of PSI on the system. its just a matter of how fast you will see it happen. in your case with the higher psi used, you saw it faster...within a case of paint. now with garfs super low psi setup....one will probably see it in about 11,000-15,000 rounds of fire. so in one season of use atleast! I can post the physics of the WHY and OUTCOME, but i will save all you from that. just remeber in the end, its not a matter of how much psi is used in it, its a matter of how long its being used.
he hoesntly should have used a much denser metal for that sear extender though.
as for as solutions in stoping that, i would suggest the following:
1) put a harden flat bolt head in the way. meaning to drill a small hole ( in the "sear extender") where the piston is hitting it. find a flat small bolt that will fit it. put the flat head of the bolt on the side where the piston hits and tighten the nut on the back side.
the reason i say this way is because you wont have to worry about taping some threads in the soft sear extender. and if the bolt head ever gets too "dicked up", just replace the bolt.....instead of the sear extender.
OR
2) have someone make some special soft rubber tips for the end of the piston. this will greatly stop the "dicking" of the sear extender.
OR
3) build up a stash of extra sear extenders and not worry about it.
but i am pretty sure you ladies and gents that have the frame would like to keep your sear extender living for a nice long long time. not to mention, how hard and long it would be to get a replacement sear extender when/if something does happen. so do look into protecting your investment.
just some words from the intelligent side,
-Chris
thanks great advice....
Anyone out there in AO that can mill a stronger extender???
I agree with you...I think this is going to happen no mater what LPR you use...the metal is just soft...wonder why AGD made there sears out of hardened steel...
Greasing the extender and using a higher volume LPR at a lower pressure will allow you to run the thing a lot longer without damage though. Everything wears out, let's face it. Let's just hope Garf will agree to making extras if we need them.
