 A5 worked great for about 3 months, now it's chopping balls, about 1 every 10 shots. I've taken it apart cleaned and inspected everything and can't seem to find anything wrong. I was told that I have one of the early model a5's with an old style hopper axle and that the newer ones came with a more flexible one to prevent ball chop. Is this true or am I over looking something? Also, if this is true, dose anyone know where I can find one? ------------- Scootey Puff Sr. - The widow maker |

Take a look at the bottom of your hopper, if there is an "A" on it, then your fine. You need to open up the bottom of your cyclone and lubricate it. Use lithium grease. Make sure you lube the piston as well. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

Contact Tippmann and let them know. They will either
A) Mail you the replacement parts or B) Have you send in your marker to have them replace the parts. -------------
