    Posted: 03 September 2007 at 3:33pm
I've took apart my Tippmann 98C to add a flatline, but when I took it in half, parts flew every where. :'(

I've got most of it back together but there is a spring that I have no idea where it goes. I'm assuming this spring is the reason it wont cock. So any help will be appreciated.

You could have forgot to put the trigger spring in and then it wouldn't cock.

Or you could have forgot to put one of the pins in. i dont have any pictures so just look at the trigger assembly in your manual and make sure yours matches it.

You won't be able to fix it. I'll buy it from you though for $15 shipped.

If it is a long one, you should have put the spring into the hole in the back hammer and it should be slipped onto the long pin that is in the back plate.

Yes, I've done that, but there is another spring the exact same length as that one, and I can't find where it goes.

I'm pretty sure my gun isn't act, but that looks like its where the spring goes. Maybe my gun is act, will try to fit it there in a bit.

Thank you guys for being so helpful.

Thanks sooo much guys, i got it cocking now. xD

But i had to take that ACT spring out because when i try to put it in, it wont fit, it gets tangled. So will that cause me any trouble on the field? Should i try to get it back in?

if it doesn't belong there don't force it that will cause more problems.
best thing is to find out where it goes. check out the link and see if any of these diagrams help.
