32 Degrees Delta 68 Parts

someguy · 11-06-2011, 11:17 PM

I recently came across a 32 Degrees Delta 68 pistol. It's actually missing a few parts- The hammer/striker, the spring, velocity adjuster, bumper- actually, everything in that chain (striker to velocity adjuster). But everything else appears to be there and intact.

I'm having trouble locating parts and wondered if anyone had any advice for tracking them down.

1. My understanding is that Empire would be the company to contact as the manufacturer for parts, is this correct?

2. I've read some implications that there may be other pistols that use the same size of parts. Someone said the T68 parts may work. Does anyone have any experience with this or know of any other pistols that may have similar parts?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

I want to say that, that gun is based on a classic Spyder design. I think it share components with the PT-Xtreme, and the PT-Enforcer.

I think the RAP4 T68 parts you need are compatible. I know for a fact that the rear pin and great T68 pierce pin asembly will fit T68s and Delta68s. I'm also sure that the co2 lever is compatible between the PTX and the Delta68.

Hope that helps!

Excellent, thanks for the advice. Looking at the schematic, it is the "classic spyder" design. The hard part, appears to be the size of the striker though. I've got a couple of spare strikers lying around from some other older guns (VL Triad and a Cybrid), and when I put those strikers in, the size and connection spacing aren't correct so the top bolt sits halfway over the magazine feed opening.

The PT Pistols look to be good potential matches, but parts seem to be about as rare as for the Delta 68.

The RAP4 T68 looks to be the best possible match that I can still get parts for, and it looks like they sell the striker for around $10.00, so it will be a cheap enough test. It's good to hear of at least some known compatabilities between these two, and the schematics show the same internal makeup. Let's hope the sizing is the same.

I was also able to eventually find an upgraded steel/delrin striker: ACP Psycho Ballistics Delta 68 Pistol Lightened Stainless Steel and Delrin Striker - e-Paintball
However, this upgrade is a bit more pricey than I would want to put in a sidearm (although may end up having to...)

I'll order a striker for the T68 and update on the results when it comes in.

Thanks again!

So, I finally received that parts in the mail, and just wanted to put an update for anyone who may be interested-

The striker for the T68 appears to be the proper size (the top bolt doesn't sit halfway in the hole when connected, as it did with the previous strikers I had tried). The catch is, I had to use a dremel and downsize the pin that connects the top bolt to the striker a little bit (the pin is too big to fit in the hole on the T68 striker).

I had also got the spring/bumper and velocity adjuster for the T68. With this entire set of parts in place, the Delta 68 is holding air, firing, and recocking properly. I haven't put any paint through it yet, but what I've seen so far is promising- Will have to play with velocity adjustment, and possibly even the spring size.

Now, on to replacing the pierce pin!

Thats good to hear. I'm always on the lookout for possible repair parts for mine.

I have a ton of parts for a pt xtreme... I do not know if they are compatible at all. If they are i have no problem sending them your way... I have some springs and cup seals. umm trigger and frame. Just need to dig all of this up.
