Upgrades: Phantom Stock Class
If you dont want to read why I bought the following and just want
to know what I bought go here.
45 Frame: Puchased from CCI, I got this for a
better grip than the stock M16 Grip. It feels a lot better but makes the
gun a little heavier but just a little. It is still worth the great
difference in feel though. Also makes your gun all metal and solid.
Vertical Concersion Air Kit: I bought this
kit from CCI, I bought it to make my Phantom into a smaller more compact
marker. It has worked, it is now much smaller than in its back bottle
configuration. The 12 gram is easier to take off and change now becuase
it's right in front of the trigger.
Stainless Steel Hose w. Quick Disconnect:
I got this to replace the Hard Line (I had replaced the mirco line) because
I was getting leaking problems. So now I dont have to deal with any
O-rings or anything like that. I bought a quick disconnect because
if I wanted to field strip the gun I could easily do so.
CCI 8" Nickel Platted Barrel: This barrel I also
got from CCI, I wanted my gun to be as short as possible so I went and
got a 8" barrel with nickel platting. Its shoots great, the only
thing w. my barrel is, is that it has no porting so it is loud but accurate.
Since I dont play in the woods, concepts fields is what I play on, I didnt
mind the noise. You can get porting done though just ask Mike Casedy
for it before you order. Note: You do not need to replace the stock
barrel it is very accurate already.
ADCO Sure Shot Sight: This was to increase accuracy
of the already accurate Phantom. It seems I was always pointing the
gun a little to much downwards and missing my targets. Getting a sight
fixed that now all I do is line it up with the red dot. I think it was
a good buy.
Adjustable T-Stock: The stock also came from CCI,
I realize that this purchase made my gun longer but made shooting a lot
better because I had something to put the Phantom up against and therefore
aim. I also suggest getting a stock but not nesassary (kinda expensive).
Trigger Shoe: Well this may seem to be a small
thing but makes a big difference. It widens the trigger so that it feels
much better and you wont feel a skinny little trigger that you might lose
your grip on. I highly suggest getting one of these small, pretty
cheap add-ons.
2.5" Pump Arm: I got this from CCI, I got it because
I was going for the most compact Phantom I got make, and I think that I
have done that.
CCI 6" Urban Camo Barrel: I got this because anyother
length of barrel for the 2.5" pump arm would just look weird and I got
it urban camp because I think it looks cool. Simple Reasons.
Future Upgrades:
Phantom Stock Class
Clear Pieces: Recently CCI
has put for sale these nice "ice" clear pieces that replace the pump arm,
feed tube holder, and ball retainer. These look very nice and, performance
wise, they let you see how much paint you have in the feed tube and shows
you when you need to reload (being clear and all) and on stainless steel
barrels. the slide "silky smooth" on them. These are very popular
among phantom owners so I think I should get them soon. Note: No
real point in getting these for a Phantom Gravity Marker becuase you will
have 2 extra pieces (ball retainer and feed tube holder) you can still
use the pump arm though. I think you can buy them separatly but suggest
buying them in a set *if you are a stock class player, it cheaper*
