Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   i have a Project Salvo and with one days worth of use, i opened it up and found that the custom power tube had a huge crack. i dont know why this is made of plastic or why it happened, but im thinking of purchasing an aluminum power tube. however, looking at the tube, it seems like the gas line is cemented onto the power tube so i cannot remove it. any videos, walk throughs, or suggestions on how i should properly replace just the power tube? and should i stick with plastic, or upgrade to aluminum?

-thanks for the help

	Contact Tippmann customer service. I am sure they will offer to either have you send it in for repairs or mail you a new powertube. No need to buy and aluminum powertube, you got the one in a million that failed.
