Bolt action pb marker. Best one yet.

[want2race]

So I finally got 'er done, well mostly done. I still have to fit a buttstock pad and stain the wood.
Trigger pull is better than expected. True bolt action function. Unlock, pull back to cock, push forward to load, pivot bolt handle down to lock.

Here's the specs.
-CCI Phantom base gun, right side feed, 16 inch barrel.
-Wood stock started as a blank, hogged out to fit marker.
-Line SI lever quick change in buttstock, Micro line run internally through the stock.
-CCI stock class ball cap over right side feed holds 3+1
-Trigger made from aluminum stock
-Trigger guard is a Remington 700 piece
-"Bolt" is a bored out CCI valve body (spare) to match functional valve body right in front of it.
-"Bolt" slides on a s.s. shaft attached to the back of the functional valve body. Shaft has ball detent to add stiction to bolt operation (realism).
-"Bolt" operates the real bolt inside the marker via an aluminum plate and two pins.
-Trigger operates sear via 7 inch rod that is connected to an "L" piece of aluminum just under the sear.
-Harris bipod.
-13 inch "Barrel Extension" is VERY effective.
-Scope base pivots at front to elevate rear of scope. Turn the thumb screw (CCI rear take down screw) at the rear of the scope base and it lifts the rear up. This adds distance at the scopes point of aim (similar to an M203 Quadrant sight). No more quess work about 'how high to aim' to adjust for distance. Calculate distance (rangefinder) and adjust scope base to precalculated setting. Shoot. Score. Repeat.

This wouldn't be a big deal for anyone with proper tools to make (mill/lathe) however, the only tools I had access to were a drill, router, hacksaw, hand files, rotory tool and small drill press.

The hosting site I used sucks, but someone else hosted them for me. What do you think?

Thats pretty damned cool dude. How easy would it be to adjust velocity with that hting?

[want2race]

Same as regular phantom. Although with the 16inch barrel, it is easier to remove it first. If I ever had to change springs, then it reqires a full take down. That takes about 3 minutes if I take my time. Reassembly, however, takes much longer. The Micro line runs internally right next to the trigger mech, if I don't get it in just right the trigger drags on the line. Once in it's good.

I chrono'd the 3rd shot of the first 12 gram ever put through it at 301. The bolt velocity adjuster is right in the middle of it's range so I have some room to turn it down.

This is definately one of the coolest moded paintball markers ive seen, im not much of the 'sniper' type but that gun would just be flat out fun....if you ever plan on selling it let me know :P

Can't get pics to work

Here's the finished project. There's a few minor things left to do, like anno'ing the bolt handle, trigger and scope base. But overall, I like it. I used a spray on truck bed liner for the wood finish. It has the look and feel of a composite stock. It's durable and waterproof.

[personman]

Nice. I really like that.
Dont let anyone on the streets see you with it though

[vf-xx]

Kickarse! Don't know as I'd ever be good playing with one but I'd be cool to own. Any chance that you'll make more to sell?

[want2race]

I considered making some more, but without a mill/lathe it is VERY time consuming. All parts are hacksawed, rotorary tooled and filed. Oh with some drill press action mixed in. If I had a mill, I'd start pumping these out for select few.

Thanks for the comments.

Very awesome. I could image you going to the field and people thinking you are carring on a real gun.

[BeaverEater]

That is really cool but how accurate is it and can it use the new frantom barrels that accept freak inserts. I've seen many different "rifle" like markers but this is by far the best one I've ever seen. If you ever sell them I would be interested in buying one.

It is just as accurate as any phantom. Yes, I could use a freak system on it.

I can hit a man size target at 65 yards (with no wind) nearly every time.

Thanks for the compliments.

[NoFearPaintballer]

nice gun. Some fields might not allow you to use that
