i just got my pro seal in the mail today and i tryed to put it in but it was tight. i tryed polishing the insides up alittle more.-that worked alittle. so i called smartparts and they said to put some tape between the recievers ware the screws go....insted i loosened up the screws a bit and it seemed to move around alittle bit more freely. -doing so theres a slite gap between the recievers. does anyone know what i could do to fix this?

i'm guessing you mean the pro seal front bolt? as has been said hundreds of times before, stock parts are the best. i don't have any experience with those bolts though...

pro seal front bolt, yes. i got it in there but to take it out or slide it around you need to loosen up the receiver screws

Hmm I don't know much about A-5s but I would say try to lightly sand down on your recievers if you feel comfortable with it. I don't if this helps much but sometimes anything sounds good when your desperate.

on mass-produced parts, it's quite common for some parts to be bigger than others. i'd contact the company that you got it from, and see if you can get a replacement.

Bingo

See if you can send it back and get your money.  Tippmann's stock bolts are the best part you can get.

General rule of thumb, the only parts you should ever change on a Tippmann are the barrel, hopper, grips, and that stuff.  Leave the bolts and internals alone.
