Hi,

If you find your local copy and need it hosting give me a shout. I have plenty of space on a paid host and can spare some bandwith for fellow Tippmann users.

I am really keen to see it too as I am attempting to take my A5 apart for the first time tonight before a game on Sunday and as parts and service are near impossible to find here in the UK for Tippmann markers it's a bit of a nervous activity for me.

Ok, I'm sorry I vanished... I don't have a local copy of those pictures anymore, but I do have an A-5 and Camera... Who has a spot to host them?

PM me, I'll start taking pictures tonight...

It's modified, but the basics will still be there.

Baratak how do i pm you, i really need help on the internal diagram pics and stuff like that of A-5

A5 Internals




First off, the ball detent. Make sure when you put it in, it's facing the direction mine is.

Valve O-ring. This is located up inside the powertube where the arrow is pointing. It's important that you keep this well oiled or else it will cause the infamous leaking from the barrel.

Front bolt. If you put this in backwards, it will make cocking your gun a lot harder/impossible. Just make sure yours is facing the direction mine is and you'll be good.

Tombstone latch. This keeps your vertical adapter in place. I left mine off once and the vertical adapter slipped out of place and caused a leak, so just make sure it's always latched on to the adapter. I also recommend replacing the stock spring with a lighter clciky pen spring because the stock one makes it hard to unlatch.

Drive spring. Make sure the pin is placed inside it to keep it from bending. You can sort of notice the pin in the first picture.

just for reference. What is the PSI that the A-5 should be running at. CO2 vs HPA.. LPK's and what their function is exactly. What about having a regulator on the gun. Besides the one on a HPA tank.

hey I have a tipmann 98 custom and recently its been messed up, when i shoot the gun a bunch of co2 goes through it and the whoel gun goes rattatta with co2 burst constantly going out of the barell and the gun instantly becomes cold. I talked with my friend today and he worked me through some of the things that could be the problem. I tried everything it still does the same thing.... can some one please help me?

Hi gang! I'm relatively new to paintball and I just bought (today, April 15th) my first gun from Tippmann, the 98 Custom. However, me being a newbie and all, I assembled it the way was most logic and...it won't shoot. I've played paintball before but I've never owned my own gun. So, I tried reading the owner's manual in detail and followed all instructions. I must be doing something wrong 'cause it just ain't working!  Now, I'll tell you what I've done: I've removed the packaging (duh) took it out, put on the CO2 canister and the paintball cartouche, and...that's about it. Does the canister come with CO2 in it? Do I actually have to put an 8v battery, as specified but the manual, 'cause there isn't any space for one. Anything else I might be doing wrong? If someone owns this exact gun, could they tell me how they got theirs to work? Thanks. (I'm sure it's nothing but a stupid mistake)

Wow warp feeds I haven't seen them in a while.
