Two Little Pins

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

Haven't played paintball in about a year, went out to use my gun today and the gun just wouldn't fire. I took the thing apart, fixed the problem, went to put it back together and saw that i didn't use these pins. I have NO clue where they go. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. They are not the ones that go with the hopper. The gun is a Tippmann 98 custom pro. 

By the way, where do i find original tippmann 98 custom pro parts? There is a crack in my power tube, and i can't seem to find the original one. All i can find is the aluminum ones.

Here's the rest of the gun in case you wanted to see it.

	On my phone atm but look at the top photo Then look at thr metal arm thats the ACT arm Right where it curves there should be two holes (right above your power tube(black thin)) They are guide pins that make sure that arm stays there

	Thanks to both of you. I got the thing back together, however the power tube has a crack in it. I now have to replace that. Does anyone know where i can get a new power tube that would be the original one? I see a lot of aluminum ones and i want to stay away from that.

	Thanks for that. I also have an older Tippmann 98 custom and it has this blowback issue. It only shoots once, and it doesn't blowback. Any reasons for this? I made a video of it to show you what i mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJWHF0yva6E i would embed the video, but i don't know how to on here.

	I cant watch the video but have you checked the hammer for wear Or the the spring Sounds like the sear is not catching Check the bottom of your hammer

	Just took the thing apart and took some pictures of it. I realized after i took the picture that i had the sear backwards, and i fixed that, but i left those pictures to show the closeup of the sear. If you look at the picture of the whole gun, you can see that the sear is placed correctly. I beleive this is an older 98 custom, judging by the way the sear spring goes.
