Taking apart your Phantom! *PICS*

senghing27 · 12-19-2005, 06:06 PM

Well, i keep seeing newbs saying, "How do i take apart my phantom?" For many, they are visual learners, so, i had time, i was bored to death doing my chemistry paper, that i put together a pic filled phantom teardown and put together thread. Heres what i'm taking apart....

CCI Phantom VSC

Tools and parts needed:
Clean area
3/8 allen key for the 12 gram changer
9/64 for the Breech
5/64 for the grips
a towel that is clean, but you don't care for
paintball oil

=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

First, remove the barrel, and remove the detent ring and put it in a safe spot...

Next, loosen the two thumbscrews on the front and the back of the phantom

Next, slide the main body a bit, and hold onto the pump arm, the pump arm then will come loose, put it in a safe spot.

Now, remove the main body, off of the phantom.

As you can see, within the main body, there are a total of three pieces.
There is the spring, the Tuned port compensator (TPC) and the rear most, the hammer assmbly.

In order... TPC, Spring, Hammer assmbly

Close up of the TPC (This controls your velocity, clockwise= FPS+.
c. clockwise=FPS-)

Slide the internals out and wipe them down with the towel and oil the black oring on the TPC.

Next, slide the internals back into the main body. With the TPC the black oring facing barrel side, and then followed by the spring and finally the hammer assembly.

Next, on the TPC there are two holes, One is occupied by the Nylon screw, this is what keeps the Velocity screw from backing out. And then you have is the pump hole. Attach the pump arm end to the pump guide hole.

Next, attach the barrel and hold the pump arm tightly in place.

Now, slide the main body back onto the trigger frame and gun, hold it upside down, for its much easier.

Apply slight pressure whle keeping the body and trigger frame together. Align the holes install the larger thumbscrew into the rearmost hole. Screw it down tightly, The 5/64 allen key can be used to make the thumbscrew even tighter in place.

Now, install the smaller thumbscrew in the front hole of the trigger frame, and tighten it down.

Now, you are ready to shoot it...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Heres some instructions for removing the breech. Take the 9/64 allen key and lossen the breech screw.
Take it off and wipe it down and replace.

=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
To remove the 12 gram changer, you will need the 3/8 allen key. Remove the 12 gram changer bottom, and insert the allen key into the upper receiver of the 12 gram. Turn left and loosen it.

at this same time, you might as well oil it, just a drop or two into the hole, and when you air it up, the oil will cycle through.

Enjoy....

Oh BTW, the Phillips (flathead) can be used to turn the velocity up or down by the TPC.

Psycho_warden · 12-21-2005, 06:31 PM

I thought you had a Silver VSC seng.

I think that we need to talk to Andrew about getting a new Mod for here. Saint is hardly ever on. Hes a great guy, but I just dont think that he is doing his duty.

senghing27 · 12-21-2005, 06:36 PM

Psycho, u'd be a great mod...
I do have a silver phantom....
I got this one in a recent trade and i was doing a tear down and thought, "why dont i make a pic thread.."

paintballer6379 · 12-23-2005, 12:15 PM

I second senghing27... PSYCHO FOR MOD

Psycho_warden · 12-23-2005, 08:43 PM

Well, I wasnt suggesting that I should be it, but I of course wouldnt complain to it. I think that you would also be a good mod Seng. Most forums have 2 mods anyways. Im not sure if the CCI forum has gotten busy enough to get 2 though. Thanks guys, it means alot to me to hear you guys say that.

Just curious, where did you get your 3/8 Allen wrench, I havnt been able to find one.

senghing27 · 01-06-2006, 02:15 PM

3/8 wrench avaliable at walmart or in a stanely tools allen key set $5 for a whole set...
Or use a ratchet end, its the same size....i found this out when i was in calli and forgot my tools....

Psycho_warden · 01-06-2006, 03:15 PM

ay no, no tengo denero!!!

Or in english, Ah crap, I dont have any money. I get paid tonight though. But I need a new mp3 player. Well, it should only be a few bucks. Nifty thing about the ratchet end, I will have to try it.

On a somewhat off topic (but not all the way) a new Whiteboard with Bandit

Psycho_warden · 01-06-2006, 07:06 PM

Yes, yes he is. I have read every single one of the Whiteboards, took me a couple hours.

senghing27 · 01-06-2006, 07:31 PM
