Do not handle this gun until you are thoroughly familiar with its mechanical characteristics. Always wear approved eye protection when operating this or any paintball gun. Pressurize with CO2 only while the gun is in use. Keep exposed flesh away from escaping CO2 . Always carry the gun with the safety ON. Never point the gun in the direction of anything you do not intend to mark. Never look directly into the barrel. Use only .68 caliber paintballs.

Description and Operation

Introduction The Phantom is a .68 caliber, pump action, CO2 powered gun designed to fire paintballs, which burst on impact to mark the aiming point. The Phantom cocks and loads a paintball when the pump arm is pulled fully back and returned to its full forward position. Releasing the safety and squeezing the trigger fires the gun. The gun must be pressurized with CO2 to cock. The design of the trigger firing mechanism includes a rapid fire capability. With constant pull on the trigger, the gun fires with each pump action. Identified in Figure 1 are the Phantoms major components. This illustration will aid you in understanding the instructions contained in this manual.

Specifications Caliber Mechanism Power Safety Muzzle Velocity Sights Weight Length Barrel Material The Gun Safety The Phantom safety is a push button located next to the trigger. The safety provides protection against accidental or unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly engaged (ON). To engage the safety, push the button all the way to the right. To release the safety, push the button all the way to the left. See Figure 2 which illustrates the positions of the safety. .68 Pump Action CO2 Trigger Block 180-325 fps (Adjustable) F Stamped less than 200 fps (Non-Adjustable) Rear sight w/ Slide Rails 1.8 - 2 lbs. 20 to 34 inches Aluminum Alloy Roller Burnished 8-14 inch 6061 T-6 Aluminum Alloy

CO2 Installation Stock Class: Place 12 gram CO2 cartridge in stock housing. Screw stock housing with cartridge onto puncture adapter. This action pierces cartridge and pressurizes gun.
Puncture Adapter 12 gram CO2

CO2 Installation CO2 Tank: Thread the CO2 tank into the air adapter. Tighten with hand to prevent leaks. If you have a leak check O-ring on tank. The gun is now pressurized.

Load and Fire Paintballs Observe all safety precautions. Pour paintballs into ammo box or insert paintball tube with paintballs into horizontal feed for stock class gun. Hold the gun firmly in the shooting hand while using the other hand grasp the pump and pull it to the rear as far as it will go; then push forward in a continuous movement. This action chambers a paintball and cocks the firing hammer. The gun is now fully loaded. When ready to fire, push the safety button to the OFF position and squeeze the trigger.

Description and Operation

Velocity adjustment Temperature and altitude influences the performance of CO2. The force generated by the main spring is adjustable to compensate for these environmental effects. Although many playing fields allow velocities up to 320 feet per second (fps), the Phantom performs best at 280 fps. To adjust velocity: Observe all safety precautions. Visually check to be sure that no paintballs remain in the chamber. Use adjusting rod or unscrew barrel and use standard screw driver to turn the tuned port compensator. Turning the compensator clockwise will increase velocity and counterclockwise will decrease velocity. Caution: Turning the compensator clockwise more than six turns unseats it causing inconsistent performance and damage to threads. Adjust the nylon set screw to provide enough drag to prevent the compensator from moving freely. Do not overtighten, you will strip out the nylon set screw.

Field Stripping

WARNING
The Phantom is a dangerous weapon if mishandled. Never clean, lubricate, disassemble, assemble, or work on the gun while it is pressurized. Observe safety precautions.

The working parts of the Phantom are either hard anodized, black-oxide, electroless nickeled or stainless steel. These materials and plating procedures ensure long life; however, the bolt and hammer must be kept clean and lightly oiled. Do not put oil on the O-ring seals. To field strip: Remove the CO2 and paintballs. Remove the front and rear frame mounting thumbscrews and separate the grip frame assembly from the breech/barrel assembly. Pull the air adapter out of the breech. The hammer and main spring will slide out. Remove the bolt by pulling the bolt rod up slightly to release the bolt and tilt the breech so the bolt slides out.

Cup Seal and O-ring Replacement An extra O-ring and cup seal has been supplied to help you sustain top performance of your gun. The O-ring is used in both the bolt and power tube assembly. The white seal is for the cup seal assembly. Observe safety precautions. Field strip the air adapter from the breech and use a 11/16 open end wrench to remove the power tube assembly. Unscrew the tube from the seal and turn seal over or replace if performance is poor or during normal operation the gun does not fire. General Maintenance Do not store with CO2 or with gun cocked. The gun must be kept clean for safe and reliable operation. The bore of the barrel must be clean and dry for ultimate performance. Use a paintball squeegee and/or swab for a .68 caliber barrel. The barrel may be unscrewed for easy cleaning. Inspect components to determine if they are in proper working order. If you are unsure, contact Component Concepts, Inc. or your dealer. If the performance changes dramatically you may need to return for repair. Before shipping, be absolutely sure that the CO2 is removed.

Service Notes To replace nylon tubing push the collet of the fitting in and pull the tubing.

To prevent leaks make sure that the end of the nylon tube is cut smooth and round. The end of the tube must be inserted pass the O-ring at the base of the fitting. The vertical air system may have or may be replaced with a hard line metal tube. To install or replace, remove the rear thumb screw and pull air adapter back but not out of the breech. Slide the short angle of metal tube into the vertical adapter. Rotate the vertical adapter until tube is aligned with center of air adapter fitting. Push the air adapter back into place and secure with thumb screw.

Service Notes If your fitting should leak the internal O-ring in the fitting needs to be replaced. De gas the marker. Remove the tube by pushing in the collet and pulling the tube out. If you have a metal type tube you also need to remove the rear thumb screw. Pull and wiggle the collet back and forth to extract from fitting body. Replace the O-ring. (#9428)

Service Notes

Compression metal line assembly is the newest type vertical air connection and requires a 7/16 wrench for disassembly. The rubber sleeve is designed for positive seal with proper compression.
