    Posted: 18 January 2007 at 7:30pm

I bought this recently, http://www.xtremez.com/paintball/product_information.asp?num ber=GNTA5S&dept=295, and it came with a collapsible stock. My question/problem is that when I took the end cap off to connect my stock I realized that the end cap had a O-ring but my stock didn't. The stock that game with it has a groove where an O-ring would go but it came without one. Now here is my question, can I use the O-ring that is on the end cap and put it on my stock?

I used the search function and I couldn't find anything.

The reason the stock didn't come with an o-ring is that Tippmann bodies come with slight differences in the tolerances of how they fit togather. Try the stock w/o an 0-ring first. It is likely that it will not be stable, but will rotate on the marker. The o-ring groove allows you to try different rings until you find one that stablizes the stock but still allows the body to be assembled properly.

Ok thanks for the help, but does it really need an O-ring?

The o-ring is just there to keep the stock from working itself side-ways during play.
