Wassuuuupppp!!!

Welcome to Preston's PGP mod page. This page is here mainly to share my NEW PGP Project with all my bros!

I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and go to school at UAF (University of Alaska Fairbanks). I play paintball with team chillfactor. Chillfactor is just a bunch of hella cool cats who like to play paintball.

A lot of people have been writing me and asking a lot of questions about the PGP mod, so I'm gonna tell you a little about how it was put together and if you still have questions you can email me.

Here's a picture to help.

The gun was soldered. That sounds kinda weak, but remember that it is silver solder- very strong stuff. If you solder it right...
The ram nut has been threaded to accept autococker compatible rams.
The 3-way nut has been bored out to fit the diameter of the 3-way valve. A retention screw must be also used to ensure that the 3-way doesn't slip, ruining the gun's timing.
The ram nut and the 3-way nut are soldered onto the body of the gun. The reason I used nuts (as in nuts and bolts) is because I wanted to be able to replace those parts on a whim. An impossibility if I soldered the ram or 3-way directly to the gun. Now,if I want to replace the ram with a trick new one, all I have to do is unscrew it and screw another in.

More explanations to come very soon! Please check back often.

Nuff said, let's look at the gun, I'll tell you what I've done so far:

Cut off the top tube and put a vertical feed on.
Cut down the front to accomodate the Low Pressure Reg.
Threaded the main valve to accept the Low Pressure Reg.
Threaded a brass nut to accept autococker ram threads, soldered the nut to the gun body.
Lightened bolt and valve springs for low pressure ram operation.
Cocker grip frame (cocker grip frames fit a PGP body.) top part of the frame has been given concave to accept PGP body.
Cup grip frame for smooth fit, cut sear to meet lower bolt sweet spot.
Connect the ram rod to the bolt.
Mount a stock cocker 3-way to the drilled brass nut you soldered tp the lower body.
Bend 3-way rod to fit trigger slot.
Lighten the bolt.
Polish gun breech for frictionless bolt action.
Kick out the jams!

my next project- an old Tippman SMG-60

Credits: these guys(my dogs!) helped in so many ways, from hooking me up with parts to giving me much needed advice on what to do. Thank you guys so much!!

Steve - hooking me up with the PGP in the first place
Jason - hooked up cocker pneumatics, much needed advice
Mike - the cocker guru gave me excellent advice, insight, ideas, and some of his polished pneumatics. You should check out Mike's Cocker tech page.
My Dad - he has all the tools I ever needed to do this project. Also taught me how to tap and solder! Yo he's my daddy!
Ben - sold me all kinds of parts for my next mod!!!
