I opened up my Tippmann 98 custom the other day and of course everything flew all over the place. All of my trigger pins, sear, and sear spring went everywhere. I picked them all up and tried to put it all back together, which I did. I plugged in my air tank and cocked the gun to fire a test shot. The trigger pulled, the gun uncocked itself, and the ball stayed in the marker. I pointed the barrel towards the ground and the ball rolled out. What would cause this sort of thing to happen and how can I fix it? Do I need to adjust the sear spring or something? Thanks in advance! |

I have some pictures of what my trigger assembly looks like: http:// http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848409473699&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater" rel="nofollow - www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848409473699&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848409623399&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848409623399&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater |

Pull the bolt back and engage the sear (without the bolt spring, just do it by hand and then take a picture. It currently looks right to me. Can you cock it back when you put it together? ------------- 
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos. |

The gun cocks and I can pull the trigger like normal. When I put my compressed air tank on, it is almost like the air tank isnt connected. I don't hear any leaks or anything and the tank is screwed on all the way. It makes a small hiss when I screw it on and off. Here are the pictures you asked for: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848444972559&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848444972559&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848445057389&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=848445057389&set=a.715076024999.2195821.24801772&type=1&theater |

| Is there air in the tank other than a minimal amount? |

Make sure your ball detent isn't in backwards. Make sure your quide pin that goes inside the drive spring is inserted into the end cap & not in backwards.
