| OK I like many other Tippmann owners have been botherd by hopper wobble, My fix came to mind about a year and a half ago. One day I was playin and one of the pins feel out of my elbow and it made a lot of noise so I grabed my plyers and pulled out the other pin then took a long roofing nail and shoved it in there and it never ever wobbles now. Thought It might help someone out. |

It works better if you put a small o-ring around each individual pin holder on the elbow. -------------

I personally use the O-Ring mod, especially now since I only use one pin, due to the new milling I did, where I cut off the second whole for the elbow on the body.  But your idea sounds good too. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
