MQ2 PGP Semi

cfos00 · 02-12-2011, 04:25 PM

Here it is, MQ2'ed: Full specs and how it happened.

First off, gigantic thank you to Ty McNeer. He was the one who took my simple little plan, refined it, and made it into reality. He also made cleaned up some of the previous work on the gun, and made this puppy work. The body originally came to me via Rainman229 (aka Claudio), and noxx also did some work on it.

Here are the specs:
Cut down PGP2 body with powdercoat, angel threads for the feedneck, and ball detent mount from Claudio, tuned up for this project by Ty
Internal lower tube spacer by Ty
MQ2 with MQ2 spacer cut down to fit by Ty, and cocking rod hole drilled and threaded through with set screw to allow pressure adjustment on noid
Body to frame adapter plate from Claudio
Bolt from Rainman
CCM Delrin Cut Back Block
WGP Delrin Bolt Pin
Pump arm from Noxx
E2 frame with Red Filter and Black Eclipse buttons, gloss red trigger, etek grips, and cocker UTB
Black Magic reg
MP4 ram
WGP noid cover/Noid
Minicocker from block cut to fit by me
Sidewinder
CCM elbows with black macro and gigantor drop, along with CP feedneck, and shocktech detent

Here are the pictures:

On Gun:

The rear shot shows the spacer, also known as the most important part of the gun:

Ty was very smart about how he did the internal tubing/spacer. He's basically local, and was nice enough to let me into his shop to watch and learn while he worked on the gun. I really appreciated it, and will be working with him in the future if he has time. Ty, thanks again, and love how this turned out. Anyhow, the spacer itself has multiple internal bores. The front is bored out to allow it to thread directly into the front block. The front grip screw threads through into the spacer, but that's it. The bore size stays smaller to allow the valve to slide in and hit a lip to get it lined up correctly. The rear spacer has been cut down to fit, but can be tightened through the rear screw, which was where you could screw in a cocking rod. This has been drilled through to allow to noid adjustment. The spacer is also drilled for the rear frame screw to screw up through the body, adapter plate, and spacer. The whole piece is a simple drop in to the cut down body. The whole seals up, shoots, and cycles really well and is a whole lot simplier to time than the mech version ever was. I haven't had it over a chrono yet, but it's allowing for velocity adjustment without issue as is. I won't be taking this apart often at all, and will likely re-durocoat it in the not too distant future, but love it as is. Anyway, this is how you would make your own. It also had the added bonus of being an overall light gun. It's not magic, just a lot of milling, drilling, filing, measuring, and cutting. Why do it? Because we can.

That is fantastic!

I am absolutely floored. that is amazing!

I love PGP's like this. I'd totally use that.

Why does every semi pgp use the same color scheme. I swear there was a post just like this months ago about what looks like the exact same gun, and then months before that the same thing. Is this really the same gun getting passed between 3 people over the span of a year and a half or is there 3 separate custom guns made by and for different people that look exactly the same?

cfos00 · 02-12-2011, 08:56 PM

Nope with me, just undergoing some larger changes in plumbing. This should be it, and a way to show off what Ty did.

I'm pretty sure this is the same gun, same owner, showcased in 3 separate build threads detailing significant changes/improvements to the PGP as they happened. Nice work guys!

Alright, then its sweet, because all 3 times I thought it looked awesome.

Now that it works, I think people will appreciate some video

Yeah, I'd love to see video. How does it wield?
