98c lost parts

its important to take apart, oil, and clean your gun as often as possible. the first time may seem very confusing, but with more practice, youll know it inside-out.

what shall you do now? get a towel, or some kind of flat clean rough area, and disassemble it on that. then check for what is and isnt there by resorting to your manual, or the one here- http://tippmann.com/support/manuals.asp . take everything out, and neatly lay it out a few times to get to know it. after you find whats there and not there, you can order new parts directly from Tippmann, or at your nearest proshop. find the nearest here- http://tippmann.com/dealers/list.asp?title=California&st ate=CA . and finally, put your new parts in, put it back together, and your good to go. if you still dont want to take it apart, you can take it to a proshop, and theyll replace whats missing for a price. but it is vital that you take apart your gun, clean and oil it after at least every day of play. so this is a good chance to get to know it.

Those two screws hold the valve in place; they're important.  If you don't want to buy a new valve, you really only have two choices.

1.  Use lots of red loctite on the screws and let it set overnight once you put them in.  (If it's really badly stripped, not just a little loose, this probably will not help.)

2.  Take the marker apart and take the valve and screws to the hardware store.  Show them to an employee and ask about slightly larger self-tapping screws to replace the stock ones.

If your marker is still under warranty then "yes" Tippmann can reliably fix your marker wit no cost to you except maybe the shipping and handling.

o **edited** i didnt know that the little ball detent was part of my gun when it fell on the floor so i threw it away, is that important?

how much you think it costs?

first watch the language please we try to keep this place family oriented

trigger spring: cut a clicky pen spring to fit, this will not only fix your missing spring porblem but lighten you pull

front sight spring: you can use a paper clip but idunno if that works

i ahve lost my ball lacth many times just order one from tippmann on the phone
