Ok... crap, crap, and crap. The best internals for a Tippmann comes stock with the gun. The aftermarket aluminum power tubes make the gun operate worse, and are a complete and utter waste of your money. Don't even upgrade the front bolt. They're all crap.

Dont get it! New internals wont do anything if not damage your performance. An common problem with the metal powertube is the part that blowback occurs is too wide causing blowback gas to escape and your gun to not recock.

Whats up with all these bumped threads!?!?

They arent hard to install, it took me about 15 minutes (putting locktite drying time aside) and when i put mine in its awesome.  It out performs the stock powertube by far. Mine is billet aluminum, and i havent had a problem with it yet, it helped my consistancy alot...  I dunno, belive what you want, but i have one.  I didnt hear from a freind who's freind had one and he said it sucked.  Billet aluminum powertubes are pretty good, i'd invest in one

Or you could cut a ring or two off the stock spring.
