Buy, Sell, Trade

[Diomedes]

For sale: PMI Piranha Short Barrel. Black powder coat in excellent shape, PMI wood grips, also in good shape, polished nickel muzzle brake, Cooper T bolt, and maybe a PPS tune-up, but I have been unable to confirm that. Holds air and shoots fine, though I have not chrono'd it. Asking $110 OBO.




PM me if you're interested or have any questions. Money orders or paypal works, or trades for a few select items: female stabilizer with mounting rings and some cash, maybe one or two other things, feel free to ask, but I'd prefer to sell it outright. Thanks for looking.

[Diomedes]

Price is OBO, toss a number at me.

[Diomedes]

Price Droppage.

Would you part the grips?

[Diomedes]

Sorry, no parting.

Little history for this gun sale. It does have a brand new Palmers Tune up kit in it. The grips have about 7 layers of spray laquer on them. I put in the tune up kit myself and here are some pics to show what all went on with it. Hope this helps your sale D.

Really enjoyed doing this project. I didn't put much into it. Maybe 20 hrs of time. Is it ready,you Dammed right it is. It's ready to be played with and looking for so loving. I'm still going to add an auto trigger to it. Need a few more items from palmer,but that's really about it. Final pics are in the last post of this thread. Just scroll down.

Comments are welcomed. As in all Catagories you donot have to be a member to post.

More updates will follow. Reading about these markers, I understand that they are really rough looking and rusty. I guess this is what happens when you just let things sit for yrs in storage.Nothing really that a little BRASSO, Never Dull and HOT SAUCE can't clean up.
Like I have said in the past,I build everything to my liking, not others. They can do that when they buy it from me.
Another thing I plan on doing is having it DURO coated just plain black. I'm trying to get this looking new off the assembly line. Not Like I can,but I can get it close. Might do something fancy,but as of now my wife has cut off my cash flow till Aug So I'll just have to drool over items I can't have.

26 July 08
UPDATE
Last purchase has been made. Just paid for the Battle Grips.
It seems this project is going very well. Have kept it with in a limited budget of $190.00. Seems like alot, but repair and new parts cost alot.

25 July 08
UPDATE:
Just ordered a Cooper-T bolt from Chauncey Jr.

22 July 08
UPDATE:
So after speaking to PPS today, I realized to cut cost I will have to do some work myself. So I ordered the following parts.

UPDATE: 07/24/08
This seems to be coming along fine. I haven't really had any trouble collecting what I need,SO FAR. Problem with older guns, they can be difficult at times. Well the UGLY part of the project is soon to come. That's the clean up!

Picked this up on MCB. This is a winter project, so you can watch it all unfold here. I'll post pics when I get a chance. I only own one of these, not the whole batch.

The Valve tool:
This is probably the most important tool that's needed. It will make or brake any Sheridan/PMI Project. With out it, you can't take these apart.


Valve kit:
This one is for the Pirhana SB kit. Glad PPS still has them in production. Noy sure what other internals I'll need, but this is a start.


Muzzle Break:
Finally my trade mark, a nice shiney piece. I have always liked the PPS muzzle breaks. Not really sure if they help, but they always make a gun look cool.


The Bolt:
Well the Rusty bolt issue is solved. Just got one of these from Chauncey Jr of COOPER-T.


Grips:
Found some battle grips.


I didn't take before pictures,because you can see what it looked like prior to receiving it. I have begun cleaning this project. I have noticed a few things wrong. The front of my barrel is not round. I'll have to either make some plugs to round it back out or just remove that small section of barrel. Looks like I will need to file as well. I have some raised metal on the tip. The body is stripped and polished. I was able to remove all markings of SNY and the rental number. The palmer flash suppressor will not fit at the monment due to the oblonged tip. So the barrel repair is the next step of repair. All and all it wasn't really that bad. The frame internals were so mucked with paint that the trigger would not even pull lol. Bolt seems to be in decent shape. I polished the hammer,but it still needs a little more work.

A few progression pics. All the paint and Markings have been removed. So armed with my chop saw and belt/disc sander,I chopped the barrel tip and now it's perfect. Just took about 3/16 off. Did a little filing inside and out. Fit the Palmer Flash hinder so well I can't get it off now lol.

Thank GOD for hott water. I was able to heat it in the correct area and remove it. You can see what a nice barrel chop I did. Like I said only took about 3/16 off. Also a top view so you can see the numbers and field marking are gone.

Strip slot is cut. The reflection ruins it,but it is very straight. I was going to mill it, but my dremal hasn't seen much action. So Armed with a cut off wheel I proceded lol. Cam out very nice. I'm real happy with this. Over all my savings so far has been about $70.00 doing things myself.

A few progress pics. Finished up the grips and body today. I also found a mint 50 rnd box. I'm going to look for a new 7oz bottle. Found a butt stock too. I still have to put in all internals and trigger group. Then it will be completed.
