need some PGP info/help....

Alphy · 09-14-2005, 12:06 PM

Well, was at a local sale and came across an older PGP.....for a couple bucks.....so I now own it. Externally it is in really good shape but the bolt is alittle siezed up....wont pump. Anybody experienced with restoring these things.....since its in great shape I dont really want to beat it up too badly during disassembly. Any advice appreciated.

Also, the serial # is P051405. Anybody have a clue as to when this thing may have been made? Thanks!

Hi,
Un-siezing a PGP bolt is a bit on the tricky side. Give Crosman Customer Support a call at 18007AIRGUN. Have them patch you through to me (Steve in paintball). I can walk you through it.
While you're on the horn with them, they can research your serial number to get your pgp's born on date.

Get some pics and post on mcarterbrown.com and they will help you in no time...those guys know everything about older guns...

Thanks Steve, but I managed to get her free today. Used a piece of 1/2" copper pipe placed down the barrel and tapped the end with a hammer.

The internals were in better shape then I expected, being siezed up. I put a total of 2 hours into this and shes rebuilt and back together(minus the valve). I had to lightly scrape some muck off of the bolt, but thats all it more harsh I had to be with it. The barrel bore even looks rather well polished still! Ill post some pics shortly.

I called that number.....they cant track my serial number.

Also.....there was a 12gram still in this thing and it was stuck. I had to pry it out through the front gripframe screw hole. The seal came out with it. Does anybody have a trick as to getting that back in without removing the valve, and also where to get a valve tool if I want one?

couple pics:

valve chamber BEFORE i cleaned it....i thought this would look alot worse then it did

after alittle cleaning, but not very much

Same advice -- call Crosman (we MAKE the PGP) Customer Support. If they can't help you, have them patch you through to me (Steve @ Gameface. We're the paintball division of Crosman.) Putting chamber face seals back into markers without taking out the valve body assembly. I can probably scrounge up another valve tool. My personal one got gaffled at a tournament.
