I don't know, TIPPMAN has been going through some cost cutting in the engineering of its markers. The power tube used to be cast aluminum, therefore it wouldn't crack under some of the roughest abuse. They have recently changed the design to a plastic powere tube. These WILL crack.....I have had to fix a couple of them already this year. You cannot replace the plastic tube with the aluminum tube....it will not fit correctly. Therefore you have to replace the broken piece with another piece of inferior quality plastic.
