we are really new to this and my son was trying to slide the rear
sight down and it just came off?.........do I have to pull this gun
apart to slide this back on? It LOOKS like the piece the sight
mounts on pivits up on s pin, but I do not want to force anything.
It is A Tippmann 98. Whats the trick to sliding the sight back on
to the mount. I see the mount has grooves that the sight slides
in. How he pulled it off I'll never know!

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE

You'll need to remove the 6 reciever bolts and pull the recievers apart to get to the rest of the rear sight. Then just remove the rail for the rear sight, slide on the piece that came off and reasemble.

Do you really need a sight in paintball? The balls aren't that accurate.

My Set-Up:
A-5 w/ Reponse Trigger
16" DYE Boomstick
32 Degrees Expansion Chamber

It's all I need for the rec ball I play once or twice a month.
