Alpha Black Tactical Feed Elbow Installation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just purchase a Tippmann Alpha Black tactical. I cannot lock the feed elbow into place. I can slide it on, but at the top, it will not lock. In that picture, the little thing to the left of the knob at the end of the carrying handle is angling up. I am guessing that is the lock position. Mine is angling straight ahead and I can't figure out how to lock it. The owners manual was little help.

	It might be the bolt that holds the body halves together by that switch is too tight pinching it together, take an allen wrench and loosen it a little and it should pop into place. Also if you have taken it apart the spring that moves the lock up and down could have flown out. Edited by DStage - 05 June 2009 at 8:11pm
