Hey guys,
I was just messing around with the gun this afternoon and I noticed that the barrel adapter is loose. I can't unscrew it once the three screws are loose. When the barrel is screwed in tight I can "wiggle" the barrel just a bit. Is this normal? I tightened down all the screws and it still can move when the barrel is. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

There should be an o-ring on the barrel adapter, if there is not, just call Tippmann and they will send you a new adapter for free.

This has been an occasional problem with A-5s. As suggested, Tippmann customer service will take care of you.

To get the barrel adapter off do I need to take apart the whole body... i.e. both sides to get at the adapter? I will give them a call. Thanks guys.
