I've been browsing this site for some time now... It seems that all (or close to it) Tippmann owners have polished their internals in one way or another. I've seen pics of the inside of the main housing polished, how do you go about doing this? and while we're talking about internals... can the A-5's internals be improved with aftermarket rear bolts, etc? if so, send a link with some! |

Leave your internals alone. The aftermarket parts offer no advantage over the stock ones, only go aftermarket if you are looking for a specific advantage that your marker needs due to a custom mod.

sanding removes material, wool only 'smears' the softer metal of the marker halves. follow the advice given and avoid sanding. ------------- 98 Custom - CP 12" barrel - Delrin Starfire bolt - Double Trig. - Drop Forward - Rocket Cock II - FieldStrip Thumbscrew Kit - Red Dot Elec.
