I need bad help!!! I did a full mod on my A-5, every modification you can buy except the Electric option. Now my gun leaks air from the connection on the low pressure tube where it goes into the gun and my trigger will not release the bolt. I pull back the bolt and then try to fire it and the trigger stays stiff and the bolt stays open. I have to take the grip off for the bolt to release. I took out the double trigger put in the original, same issue. Took out the new rear volocity adjuster and put the old one back in, same thing. Checked all the o rings all in great shape. I have a full air tank tried 2 different 92/4500 and nothing. Took the gun apart 4 times and still the same issue. I have greased, taken it apart over and over even said sweet things to it and it still has the same two problems. All the internals are new mods, could one of them be faulty or is it me?

| call tippmann and ask them if you can use and rt with a low pressure kit I have never seen anyone use a rt with a low pressure kit. I myself have a rampage board and don't have any problems with my low pressure kit. my suggestion if this dosen't work is to keep working backwards and removing stuff one at a time to see whats wrong. You should also see what you can do to fix that leak first. |

So pulling the trigger does absolutely nothing? Does it pull at all, or is it jammed or something? Did you remember to put the small metal U-shaped piece back on the trigger? It also has a spring and small pin that holds it in. In the exploded view in the manual, its part 98-18 "Trigger Slider". If that piece isnt in there, the trigger wont even touch the sear to release the bolt. -------------

Fixed. New rear bolt (bottom cut out, catch) wasn't cut properly for trigger to engage. Did some grinding to make the bolt catch a bit bigger and now the trigger works fine. Leak was fixed, low pressure velocity was to low. Turned it up and the hissing went away. Note: LP kit and R/T. You need the 1/8 hose trigger kit for RT to work properly. The original hose's just can't supply enough air for the RT cylinder to work properly or actually at all. Thanks for your help |
