| Really Old Phantom So the other day, I came across this pump, it had been sitting in the Lost and Found at my work for over a year now, but I was bored and I decided to take it home. I cleaned up most of the rust, grease, and other nasty stuff on the inside, then I decided to look up what it was, and to my delight, it was a phantom. (Woohoo! Free Phantom!). It still works... kinda Long story short, I got an E-mail from CCI telling me it was about 15 years old :O So I'm ordering the parts I need to get it back up to 100%, and also getting: 45 Grip T-Stock VA Kit 14" Barrel Anything else I should get? Also, how do I adjust the velocity? Why is it breaking so many balls?   |

| There are a few ways to adjust the velocity on a Phantom. The easiest way is to adjust it by turning the velocity adjustment insert in the bolt down. Since you don't have the CCI tool all you need to do is remove the barrel, get a flat head screw driver, slide it into the chamber into the slot in the bolt and turn clockwise. This compresses the main spring a bit which makes it hit the valve spring with more force thus allowing more CO2 to flow through the valve. The other methods are to replace the main spring with a harder one, and replacing the valve spring with a lighter one. As for ball chopping, are there rough spots on the inside of the breech or barrel or on the face of the bolt? One point about age. You can't say it's a really old Phantom as that would mean it is a unibody, meaning no removeable barrel circa 1989! Good luck! |

| Please correct me if I am wrong anyone because I would like to know myself. But the older Phantoms used the old standard valve tubes which do tend to break from time to time. The newer guns use a shorter valve that does not break often but requires a newer hammer. You may want to call CCI and ask them about that.

| There should be a tube sticking out of the back of your bolt. If you can unscrew it and make your bolt 2 pieces than it is an adjustable bolt. There is an adjustment rod available through CCI or you can figure out what hex size it takes (the front end of the piece of the bolt with the tube is what is adjusted).

 | The hex is a velocity adjusting bolt. The threading in inside the bolt. The hex should be inside the center of the bolt. It will increase the pressure on the hammer so when it hits the power tube it stays open a hair longer allowing more CO2 out giving more velocity. If yu still aren't sure take and post some pics of the internals. Tug
