I've been playing with my 98c for about a year and a half, and just recently I noticed that one of the bolts connecting the air supply adapter to the gun is missing.I'm not sure if this is a problem that impacts the performance of the gun, but it does cause my tank to wobble.I have been looking all over for the part, labled "Air Supply Adapter Bolt" in the owners manual, but I have been unable to find them.If anybody know where I could find these bolts or how to fix it so it doesnt wobble, that would be great.

Just take the one you still have to a hardwear store and find one the same or similar.  It doesn't effect performance, but could eventually end up with your asa falling off.

It is a 10-32 bolt available in just about any hardware store. Home Depot even has them in stainless. The head will be slightly different, but the standard Allen head screws have less tendency to strip the socket than does the Tippmann bolt.

Apparently no one reads the stickies...even when it is suggested to them.
