This is my tippmann, i stripped the port where the screw goes (obviously) and i wanted to know if my gun is as good as dead without it or what becuase a little air comes out when i shoot but other than that its okay.  Also i wanted to know if there may be any negative affects on performance etc if i leave the screw out.  Its the two that the manual specifically say dont overtighten.  im angry.  The two really small ones on the back, i say this becuase if the pic doesnt show up people will know where it is. thanks

I think your refering to your vavle screws. You can try putting some lock-tite. If that doesnt work you can buy a new valve body. Hope this helps.

If your gun is less than a year old, Tippmann will send you a new valve for free.

You need to fix this! Missing one of these or just having them loose can cause serious negative effects. Youll need to buy a new valve or valve body (depending on your mechanical skills). If you have a warenty it may cover it. You must get this fixed!

I use blue loctite on my valve bolts. It is just enough to keep them from wiggling loose.
