Marker Trouble? Read Maintenance Archive

This is a well thought out thread! Kudos to everyone who has provided this great resource.

However I have a flatline, with quick disconnect threads, and for some reason, no matter the paintballs I put in my marker it is inaccurate. Additionally the barrel always seems to come loose, so I tend to have to hold it in place during games. I have taken my marker apart and nothing seems wrong with it? Could this be fixed? Would Tippmann be able to maybe refurbish my barrel? And who and how much to do so?

I have to buy an E-grip for 98 Tippman Bravo Sierra and Sierra for my one and I have done EVERYTHING correctly, an engineer certify in airsoft. The switch more sense egrips operate the gas and triggering the launcher turns deadly bomb! But I've survived. and I again, 32 tantative. For now.

I recently started having what sounds to be same problem with my bravo one although I dont have e grip
i noticed a strange clicking in the bolt handle when this happened that doesnt happen on my buddies properly functioning bravo one
not sure what the cause is yet but may be a few things; possibly out of shape or worn drive spring or guide pin, or could be an issue with the bolt handle, bolt plug, or the bolt itself

if you figure out your problem post it up it may be the same thing as mine and ill post if i get an answer

So I just figured out what my problem was, replaced the sear and is working fine now.
The strange part is that the gun is only 4 months old and the sear showed minimal wear (just a few minor areas of bare metal where the black wore off). 

I took it to the store I bought it and we changed out springs which made no difference but was fixed as soon as a new sear was installed.  Unfortunately the sear is an expensive piece to replace (compared to 2 dollar spring) but if its still under warranty its an easy fix.

Well after reaplacing everything in the formentioned poste and though it works better its still doing it, so next step reaplace the sear.

I think you should make a thread about this in the GM&R rather than posting in  a dead thread.  THat way others may be able to review the issue and post a solution.
