Is there any other regular maintenance I need to do after each session besides cleaning out paint and oiling. Also, what needs oiled on the C-3 and how do I oil it? (I read the manual, it doesn't explain much on oiling) |

I really can't tell you because I don't have one. But if I did, I would
just call Tippmann and ask for a member of the technical support team
and just ask them what they suggest. They would know better than anyone
else. Good luck!

On page 13 of the manual
"Rear valve/piston cleaning: It is important to periodically clean the rear valve and piston" yadda yadda bunch of extremely specific steps on how to do it. Not to be a jerk, but maybe you should read more. |

Enos, you're usually more helpfull than that... I read that part and everything. I was just asking about what needs to be oiled before/after each session. |

He was very helpful. Actually, you said it didn't cover much of anything about necessary cleaning. He told you to be more self suficient...and use a little common sense. Any part that slides against another or any "O" ring that moves while maintaining a seal against any moving surface needs a little oil, a few drops now and then. Specifically: The manual says to use WD-40 to clean. Did you notice the instructions to use lithium grease anywhere? Page 13 of the manual: Under Rear valve & Piston cleaning. Lines D, E, and F are pretty specific. Page #18 section 17 is also pretty specific. You said you read the manual? Do it again! There will be a test! Edited by Bruce A.

Yep, they sure would. After they finish suppressing their laughter I am sure they'd suggest he actually read the manual...with the TV turned off this time. Everything he says he cannot find is in the manual! |

One of the most knowledgeable people on the site and you whine that he didn't warm the pablum enough before a virtual spoon feeding? Every bit of knowledge in life isn't assembled cook book style. Much of it takes a little deductive reasoning and extrapolation. Enos pointed you in the general direction and gave you a very slight boot in the pants on a self guided tour...I am surprised you didn't threaten to sue! Or pout. Oh, wait, you did pout. The tone of your complaint probably connotes a protruding bottom lip while typing.

It is amazing you would say such a thing (Oh, BTW, I do watch paintball competition on TV, when I can find it.)

Instead of watching American Idol, Lost, The Simpsons, reruns of Sex in the City, or watch Paul Dana get killed in race practice on Saturday, I educate myself in a sport I absolutely love so I can play with as few equipment malfunctions as possible and to help keep my team mates in the game longer. It is not a question of spare time, it is priorities.
