This is what I've been warning people about. I don't know if you can get it out. You may have to buy a new lens. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

I believe the best thing is to contact JT but i'm pretty sure if you remove the iner lens when can put them back on again ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished internals Rampage Board Rampage Pro-E Trigger TechT A-5Mod QEV mod Lapco autococker Adapter STIFFI Kit JCS Power Tube PALMER Stabilizer LPK PsychoZ-DF Ricochet R5 |

A thermal lense has two layers, the front one is the one that protects you, and the one behing avoids the fog. Anyway, they are joined by some kind of rubber which makes it imposible to reach whatever in between. In other words, easy to get in, hard to take out. |

You could've started a thread with this, or simply search about it, there are a lot of discussions about it and you could've found the info you wanted easily. Anyways, flatline adds distance, so if this is pretty much what you want, go for a flatline. Otherwise, any straight barrel on any marker at the same fps will shoot the same distance (even a 20" barrel, but a 20" barrel in turn will make you fill your tank a bit sooner), but they'll differ in accuracy. The most recommended straight barrel is the Lapco Bigshot, or a J&J ceramic. 14" is a safe bet. |

As for the mask, best I can say is see if it will dry over time, or contact JT. -------------

Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you haven't even held a paintball gun.
And stop PMing me or I'll block you. But here's you answers, clueless one.

Just to throw it out, I've been playing on and off for 9 years now. I started playing when I was 8. Waaay back when 888paintball still sent out black and white adds with a brand new Tippmann SL-68II and Novas! My first paintball gun was an SL-68II. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

and to answer your question leave your gun out for a day or so in the sun it will slowly dry out. after all the water managed to get in so it must be able to go out. worked with my scope ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Yeah... seems to be getting off topic, fast. I don't know if you americans have them, but we call 'em hotwater cupboards, usually where the main hot water cylinder is kept. Like in a cupboard or other hole in the wall with a door... Mostly in like 50/60/70s houses. Its like a fairly warm temp, but not too much as to warp or melt it like blowdrying could. Anyway, this is where I put my lens to dry every bit of moisture out of it before siliconing it, and its where you could put yours to get the water out. (should you actually have one...  )Alternatively the sun works too... maybe not as effective. Dunno ------------- People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things. |
