You might have had a jam. As long as it's working now it's fine. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

try tightening the back of the gun cause sometimes the its lose and it wobbles causing it not to recock all the way. ------------- Gamertag: Kataklysm999

Fill your tank. Also oil and lube all the o-rings. |

I thought you said it worked now?  Whatever. Just check all the parts of your gun like o-rings etc. If anythings broken/damaged then replace it.------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| just call tippmann and ask for all new parts. i've already ordered a new spring,rear bolt, and a new sear from them in a week. and its free. if it wasnt for tippmann being so kind to there customers then that would of cost me like 25 dollars. |

Two words: Valve screws.
You need to either tighten your valve screws or get new ones if you have lost them. This happened to my brothers gun a while back and we tightened the valve screws and it worked fine. Your gun may have worked fine for a while without them (mine did) but you will start to have problems later. ------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |
