| my new project for my 68 carbine is throwing in a e-grip. I've already put on my Lapco Bigshot barrel so time for something new. I need to know the center point to center point on the bolts that attach to the main body of my 68 carbine. Also, what e-grip should I go with the W.A.S, APE, or the original Tippmann? |

Good luck on the mod. You get the WAS board in the new grips, so if your going for a new one, then that is the way to go.
Anyway, we want pictures when you get done. ------------- Halo CDPaintbal.com One of the oldest running scenario fields in the southeast. |

Frame bolts are 5 3/8" distance across the reciever. 10-32 threaded.

hey, I was wondering what polishing the internals would do and thinking
about replacing the rear bolt, valve, and other worn parts for new
ones. I need to make this last.

Well, polishing actually creates less friction where the bolt travels. It will make the O-rings and internal parts wear less and will increase performance slightly as well, will cycle a tad quicker.
Try Tippmannparts.com for replacement parts. Not sure if they have carbine parts or not, or what is compatable with carbine parts. i should know this stuff, as I use to have a carbine, but I am a little slack. Sorry. A good place to check is the Pro Carbine Owners group. ------------- Halo CDPaintbal.com One of the oldest running scenario fields in the southeast. |

Well, its hard to do with the Carbine Series.
The reciever halves dont come apart, so most of the tutorials will not help you. When I did mine, I used a dowel rod and started with 500 grit wet sandpaper, and worked my way up to 2000 grit. I just put the reciever in a 5 gallon bucket of water, and sanded away.. -------------

Yeah, have to use a dremel or drill. Never thought about it not comeing apart in halves... I never actually took mine apart. I didnt use to be compelled to take things apart. I just oiled her up and wiped it down. ------------- Halo CDPaintbal.com One of the oldest running scenario fields in the southeast. |

dont use a dremel on the inside. too much of a chance to go too deep, just use steel wool or a sand blaster ------------- http://imageshack.us">

so i should use a dowl rod with 500grit to start and work my way up to
2000grit? This is wet sanding right? Also, my grip comes in friday so I
will have it in by the weekend and tell ya how it works.

Thats right, get a dowel thats about 1/8" smaller than the inside of the reciever, and wrap it with the sand paper. This is wet sanding, to buy sand paper accordingly. -------------
