Hey, welcome. BTW the CPS 1500 has only one PC. The one in the front is only plastic. K-modding a CPS 1500 has been done before. I remember someone trying it out and they said they liked their regular stats rather than the K-modded stats.
The CPS 1500 is good gun in itself, but has major flaws. I know from experience, the trigger valve is pretty weak. If you do decide to K-mod, I highly suggest you reinforce the internals just to be safe.

Racer k-modded his 1500 last year, but reverted to stock because he prefered stock shot time and output. If you want to k-mod that gun, I would recommend a low number of balloons [like 30-40] and reinforcement of the internals that will be under pressure, like the trigger valve.

A stock CPS 1500 already shoots just under 50 feet (around 48-49 feet) and has really good shot time. It's considered by many to be the best all around soaker to be built. I was thinking for a short time to K-mod mine, but it's just so perfect already.

That's just about what I was thinking. The CPS 1500/CPS 1700 is such a good gun stock that, when you consider the likely difficulties you'll encounter when trying to modify it, it doesn't seem worth doing so. You could put a dowel in the handle though, in any case.Originally posted by NiborDude@Jul 27 2005, 01:15 AM

I always wanted to actually, be able to look at the inside of something, and be able to modify it, since I was four. My first soaker was the 1500, and is a very good gun already, and the K-mod is sort of hard, but you might do something stupid like I did by breaking my 1-3-5. I wouldn't risk breaking it. Oh yeah, and some good advice keep the cap on while it is in storage in winter.
Soak, or be soaked that is the question!

Check valve issues don't even break your gun for that long, they are just annoying. I agree that the actual k-mod rarely, if ever, is responsible for breaking one's gun. Sometimes there is a trigger valve problem after k-modding, but those are often linked to overpressurization.
