Yes, they take the little bus to school. Make sure you use original
o-rings in the valve. Get the o-ring kit from Tippmann, you'll end up
using all of them eventually. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

| Ha Ha good one. But is the oring different? Maybe thats why my air is leaking from the valve. Had to change that oring and figured it was the same as any normal ring. |

should be a regular one.
ya i know this sounds gross, but whatever it works b4 i play sometimes i lick the oring on my tank, it seals it better or a little vasoline on the oring extends the life of it by a little bit. ------------- 98 custom e-bolt low pressure dye drop foward CP 10" barrel halo B HPA double finger trigger lighter trigger pull (awesome!) can out shoot an egg thats y i have the halo b |

Did you replace the o-ring? If it looks worn out or cracked, dump it and get another one on there.

yes, the oring is different, it is a little bit thicker. ------------- A-5 J&J 14" Double trig Outkast Sniper II- rolling with the pump world |

| Thanks for the advice. I did buy a replacement parts kit and received a new valve from tippmann. So everything is working awesome on Tippy. (Yes, we named her tippy). |
