 Topic: Polishing your guns internalsPosted: 13 June 2006 at 11:49pm |

I've been browsing this site for some time now... It seems that all (or close to it) Tippmann owners have polished their internals in one way or another. I've seen pics of the inside of the main housing polished, how do you go about doing this? and while we're talking about internals... can the A-5's internals be improved with aftermarket rear bolts, etc? if so, send a link with some! |

Leave your internals alone. The aftermarket parts offer no advantage over the stock ones, only go aftermarket if you are looking for a specific advantage that your marker needs due to a custom mod.

probably more effective to sand with your fingers.

sanding removes material, wool only 'smears' the softer metal of the marker halves. follow the advice given and avoid sanding.
