 Topic: Garage Sale Tippy!Posted: 21 May 2007 at 6:05pm |
|
My wife and I went garage sale spelunking this weekend, and bought a
bunch of stuff, including this beauty: 
Tippmann 68 Carbine, PMI gloves, a couple of 100 round pods, neck protector, straight shot squeegee, duffle bag and a couple of 9 oz. CO2 tans (most likely NOT refillable) for $40. I cleaned it up, took off the aftermarket barrel (which I cannot identify ... can anyone of you recognize it?) stuck an old A-5 barrel I had lying around on it. (In case you are wondering, I stuck the A-5 adapter on it for the heck of it!) 
Worst part is the retaining tab for the foregrip is broken, so it will not stay on. I may try and jerry-rig a vertical foregrip. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated too. I aired it up, and it shoots like a champ! Edited by hwayhzrd - 21 May 2007 at 6:07pm |

You hoser. That deal beats my $5.00 Spyder any day. Could you attach a Pickatinny rail on the bottom? Aren't there foregrips made for a rail? Edited by Lightningbolt - 21 May 2007 at 8:50pm |

Been thinking about that, then getting a foregrip to attach to that. Any other ways to mount one, I am checking into. |

nice find with a good price. I rebuilt my one friends procarbine...most parts can be found on tippmanparts.com, but the grip section is a pain to take apart...so much that i didnt both taking the trigger/grip frame apart. the 68-carbine's trigger frame looks easier to take apart though as the asa is not an integral part of the frame. just take out the male 1/8npt fitting from the valve and get a 1/8 to asa extension and remove the gas line. remember to use crescent wrenches or a socket set when applicable. the person who rebuilt the procarbine before i did used vices to take it off and tighten and stripped the sides so was nearly impossible to take off. luckily i had a dremel. the barrel resembles a Lapco barrel though. much like my bigshot...
