98 custom

when i got my gun i would shoot fine then i turned my volecty up on my gun and now it lobs balls out of the barrel about 6 inches and there is a gray o ring just bouncing around on the spring not broken in the back of the gun where the cock lever is what is wrong because i took it apart and i have no idea whats going on

The "O" ring on the power spring hangs loose there as it is supposed to. It is the buffer cushion to reduce the impact of the hammer against the back end cap.

Sounds like you turned the velocity screw in the wrong direction. When you found that it malfunctioned when you did that, did you turn it back? Something else may be wrong because even with the velocity screw fully "closed"  the marker will usually shot the ball further than 6 inches. Try turning it counter-clockwise...which increases the velocity. READ THE MANUAL!

The problam is most likely that your detent is in backwards! No, I'm not going to tell you, read the manual...downloadable right here on the Tippmann site, if you have lost the original.
