Well all the parts aren't quite here yet but I will start my thread with what i did to it.

Black Rain EC
Drilled hammer (went from .59 lbs to .42lbs)
Delrin Starfire upper bolt
Automag spring
Home-made rear cocking knob
Double trigger shoe.

it already had a different valve, the port on the valve is bugger than the largest port on the stock valve but I don't remember exactly what brand valve it is, may have been a magnum valve...not really sure.

Plus I made the feedblock sleeve so that I can have a regular elbow on it. plus the bottom line (but that is part of the Black rain) the only other thing I was thinking of doing was the trigger job that is on the VM Empire site, but other than that that is pretty much it. Oh yeah and I ordered a plate to cover the original cocking knob channel and it will be engraved with VM-68 SS. lol once I get all the parts and get it together I will post some pics.

Oh and in case anyone cares the serial number on my PMI 3 is 000686 with the orginal factory aluminum side plates on the trigger assembly, so this is an old gun. But I am keeping all the parts so that I can return it to stock condition if I want. Well let me know what you think

Where's the beef?

I mean where's the pictures, the money shots, come on! You can talk dirty all day long, but without pictures nothing is going to happen.

The pictures will come, I am waiting on a couple parts once I get those I will take all kinds of pictures and post them for all to see, have no fear lol.

This is it mostly, there is still a little more to do...I have a plate to cover the side cocking slot, and I need to mess with the insides to increase velocity a bit but that is it for the most part.

Pics no workey.

[Omegara]

aarrrggghhhh.
let me try to fix it.

Edit: should work now

That VM is very spongeworthy-
Is that a short hammer with a long slot?

Nice!

[Omegara]

yes the long slot is part of the old PMI 3's, but yes I did shorten the hammer and add the automag spring, I have a plate that says
VM 68 SS that will cover it but I need to bend it to match the curve and am thinking of a way to do it without screwing up the look, plus I want to finish messing with the internals and get the velocity up before I cover up that slot.

I meant that the long slot VMs usually had the longer bolt, and shorted hammer, with the dual cocking knobs.

Maybe this one was a transition type?
The one I had was in the 1000's, and it had the short slot, but not ambi.
