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. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

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 ------------- Big Mike 98 Custom: Madman Springs Expansion Rear Velocity Adjuster Aluminum Powertube + front bolt Double trigger All American |

| i put a pro seal tube in mine but you need a spring kit to get the speed down below 300fps. but keep the stock bolt in |

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