    Posted: 30 October 2009 at 10:29pm
My front sight on my tippmann 98 custom platium series front sight spring is either gone or is jammed. This is causing me not being able to put my elbow on and 2 screws not to screw in (no they are not stripped i made sure of that it's the distance between the left and right half). The screws are the one above the trigger and the one in the middle right below the rail. Any idea on how to fix this???

Did you do anything to the marker? Like try to pull the rivot holding the feedneck latch off?
 
It is impossible for the spring to get out unless the rivot was pulled, or the latch (sight)
was bent. I have removed many of the rivots and it is very difficult to do without damage.

I can't imagine then. Maybe post a picture of the sight/feedneck latch if you can.

Nope. Upload to imageshack.us, get the URL of the image and post it or use the [img] tags on here to put it in your post.

Your spring did somehow get out of place. It needs to be rotated and
put back in place. It's still there, just out of place.
 
Good luck with it.
