The phantom has gone factory gas through....

[Mr. Hick]

I'm surprised this wasn't posted yet: Jesse dropped this on facebook today, and it's live on the site.

[Carp]

I need better/more pictures....

[flyweightnate]

Very nice! I had a strong suspicion this was their next release. Looks clean!

[JeepDVLZ45]

….did you have anything to do with this?

[flyweightnate]

Not remotely. I saw the writing on the wall, though, and stopped chasing it with my limited resources

[The Great Equalizer]

I've been talking to Jesse for almost a year about getting a special run of valves with no hole so I could send them out to an airsmith to make gas-through grips. As of 04/08/23 I was told, "We are still at least a few months off from producing any more of those, but it is coming up."

[lizardking132]

That's a hefty price. Rather just run air lines

[iamthelazerviking]

Was wondering when this would released. But damn you can pretty much get an entire (used) VSC Phantom for that price.

[bouford]

yeah for $300 i am good

[Chuck E Ducky]

I got some questions.

How dose it handle 12g play?

Can I remove the ASA I’m not using and just plug the port?

Can I get a True hose less VSC and still use my stock?

Edit: I just sent them an email asking some questions I will let you know when I get a response.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I agree 100% I might order one tonight if I can use a stock on a VSC setup. I guess worst case you can take the frame off tap and plug the hole with a grub screw. I would like to use my CCM 86* frame with the hose less VSC setup and a stock.

[RedLeaderSB]

The real question: can I run two 12g at a time? With ICD stock.. Couple of check valves… haha

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh for sure you could. Both ends would be plugged. You would need some sort of check valve but a ball bearing and an oring would do that. I will set mine up that way for Science.. I got two ICD one with and without a stock.

[Lt. head-shot]

Well since the cost of all the stock pieces added up is around $200, to have all of it with gas through is pretty awesome. If I was starting a build from scratch I would seriously consider it, but like Chuck hints at above, getting a stock on there for VSC is a must. I wonder what the solution will be for that.

[redsquirrel]

That’s a really good point about the existing price of the parts.

[Toestr]

Get an air through T stock, plug it and stuff it full of whatever to devolumize.

[Nish]

I wonder if this is a lead up to a gas in grip frame?

Side note... Complete brass hardline kits!

[redsquirrel]

I’m very hopeful for that as their next offering.

[Impactfour]

That would really be something

[Brokeass_baller]

This is all I want in life.

[Mr. Hick]

Not that I'm going to buy one, maybe... But $300 is fair to cheap considering they redesigned the vast majority of the marker. I have a feeling like they aren't making Gardner brothers profits on this one guys.

[Mr. Hick]

Some pictures were just uploaded on facehooker of the parts with their respected gas ports and Orings. It looks like a grub screw could be added to the bottom to allow for a standard stock to be used, Chuck. It seems like all the parts seal up with urethane 007 orings. that makes it Co2 compatible as well.

It also appears you could add a grub screw to the trigger assembly to keep it VSC and run aftermarket grip frames. they seem to mount the same, but I can't verify that.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I got one coming we are going to find out. Hopefully I got an order in, in time to have it sorted by slims. I think if I just throw the sealing disk between the 86* frame and trigger frame it should seal the same. Downs just sent me the Book Face photos. So I’m pretty sure I can do what I want with it. So I’m pretty excited about that. Cuz it’s going to look Clean AF!

[Mr. Hick]

It will be clean looking as hell. I hope you have it soon too, so I can get my ugly little paws on yours to see whats up!

[zinger565]

Ah, this is just one more reason to add to the "buy a phantom" side of the virtual whiteboard.

[Impactfour]

Anyone else notice it says "Phantom 2.0" on the frame? Id love to see a magfed breech or duckslide style pump from EV next.

[Brokeass_baller]

Yeeessss.

[latches109]

Sweeet! Ordered one!

Sorry you guys are having stock problems. (Holding ICD lever stock)

[latches109]

I’ll see if I can use a plugged expansion chamber as a fore grip. Will it do anything?

[zinger565]

Oooo, that would be interesting. IIRC, Phantoms don't rely on liquid CO2 in the valve chamber, correct? The chamber should still be connected via the air routing, not in-line in a traditional sense, but in any situation other than rapid firing it'll provide adequate expansion.
