Just got my first brass marker and I could use advice

[JeeperCreeper]

Of course I forgot, you need seals here and here

This is the order

So I was able to get the valve out today, it was definitely gunked out from some very dirty brasso (lesson learned haha). That being said, I wanted to ensure it was set up properly before putting it back in for trouble shooting.
Could anyone confirm the parts are laid out properly? I also was wondering if the valve pin placed off to the side (from the PPS seal kit) would be a better option than the pin I'm currently using?

The first and second photo shows the layout of the valve parts as best as I could tell they want to lay. The third photo show how the cup seal is currently sitting. The last two photos are just to show off how shiny I was able to get the marker with today's polishing efforts.

Sounds like a deal!

I have the matching pump, you will need to find the bearing and the spring. Pm me

So I just noticed this divot across the lower tube. I'm guessing this is to keep the pump handle in the forward position? It looks like a bb from an airgun might fit nicely in this spot if I drill out the pump for one. Am I reading things wrong or on the right track?

I've got a valve tool coming as well, so I'll be sure to update things once I can get to the bottom of the the issues from yesterday. Velocity was ranging from 160-260 one shot after another, with the sound signature varying from a quiet putter to a loud pop, I'm guessing that some brasso has gunked up the valve but there's no real way to know yet.

I'll keep my eyes open for one then, thanks for the tip!

I know the old Spec Ops paintball drop leg ones will fit a PGP

Also does anyone know of a holster that fits the pgp well?

Well the PPS parts are coming Wednesday, but in my impatience I brought it out today and found that I definitely need to clean the valve up. My fps and sound signature were all over the place. Any other potential sources you guys could thing of?

[JeeperCreeper]

I don't see any issue, but afterwards, you're gonna need to sand down the rough edges inside the tube. I usually use a stick wrapped in 220 sandpaper roughly the size of the tube, and put it in the drill.

ChoSanJuan that's a wild pgp. Unfortunately my only access to a 3d printer is at the library, with limited accessibility and capabilities from what I've gathered. But that is quite a cool set-up and fun inspiration.

For now I'm going to stick with the current frame and grips. I don't know how it slipped my mind, but the more I held the pgp the more familiar it felt until I finally realized I learned to shoot with a Benjamin Sheridan air pistol as a kid. I might get the k frame some day for cool cowboy appeal and the full brass curb appeal though..

I'm pretty happy with how the frame looks on the marker. While I'm waiting on the parts from PPS I think I'm going to cut a few windows into the feed tube for keeping track of paint, as well as for looks.

Ill need to sit down with a measuring tape, but my plan is to start with pairs of small pilot holes, expand those out to 3/8th of an inch or so, then connect the upper and lower edges of each pair of holes with a cutting disk on the Dremel, leaving oval shapes cut outs, I've done my best to illustrate my plan in my 'diagram' below. I figure if I do the pilot and bore out holes correctly, I can go straight through the tube to get nice window cuts through both sides. Any thoughts or concerns with that plan?

Thanks, I left everything at work disassembled while the paint dries, but I'll be sure to put a smidge of grease on when I get it home tomorrow.
