Ok well I've had the same power tube on my gun since I bought it when I was twelve and well... last year when I took it apart to clean it the threading on the powertube fell out. I can no longer screw the powertube to the inside of my gun. So I took some epoxy and stuck it back in and it works great but now I have the minor set backs. I have CO2 coming out of the holes on the side of my gun. Should I A. Get new power tube or B. Fill in the holes with something ------------- Sisters are like slinkys.

| Don't you have a 98? What threading are you talking about. The ones on the right receiver half? |

What I was thinking. I stripped my threads the first time I stripped down my 98. Granted that most of the threads were still intact, I applied loctite to my valve bolts. Either try what I did, or just purchase a new valve. Edit: Oh yea, the loctite was sufficient to keep the power tube assembly firm within the receiver halves. It was as if I hadn't messed up the threads at all |
