Hmmm I chopped today and i got all the junk out but there is still some paint in the marker. I've never taken the bolt out. How do you?

[Zeruel]

Well, there should be a little pin with a cotter pin inside it on the side of your gun. Take out the cotter pin. Then remove the other pin, BUT HOLD ON TO THE BACK PIECE OF METAL. If you do not hold on to the back plate, the spring will launch it out, and you could lose something. Then unscrew the cocking knob from the striker. Then use the pin to push out your striker and bolt. Then just follow these steps in reverse to put it in. Next time, try the spyder forum though, and you could always look in your owners manuel.

Hope that helps

YOU HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE BOLT OUT OF UR GUN!!!!! havent u ever cleaned it or anything. how long have u had the gun? i clean mine after everytime i paintball

[MedicDVG]

First - before you start to disassemble anything, let us know what type of marker you are using.
The advice above is good for any of the stacked tube blow back (spyder clones) out there. If you have a tippman, or frankly any other marker, there are specific ways for you to do this. Doing it incorrectly can damage the marker, or leave you with parts left over -- neither of which is a good thing.

If you have never done it, I suggest taking the marker to your field and asking a knowlegeable person to show you all the parts of it and how to care for it.

Medic, he's using a Spyder Sonix, it says so under his name and avatar.

naa man, u gotta do it.... u shouldnt have to take ur gun to a shop just to clean a chop.... just talk to us and u can do it. its really not that hard.

[jacobeid]

Ok I went to the paintball store and he showed me how to do it. I was practicing it and there are a few parts I don't know about. Whats the flat disk? and where does the spring go back in? and whats the little black rubber circle that came out?

[Zeruel]

If the flat disk is VERY thin, and chrome, then it goes right in your back plate. The Spring goes in behind the striker. The black circle is called your striker buffer. This goes in front of your striker, and cushions the blow of your striker on your valve. My friend doenst have a striker buffer, and his gun works fine

Hope that helps

[jacobeid]

yes it does. and the flat disk is verrrrryyy verrrry thin. and chrome

Edit: ok I got it. Thanks for all your help guys

Check out the kingman site ( www.kingman.com ) i think they have a video on how there

[big_balla]

Well, I looked it up, and there is a good video Here

Click on either the Windows Media Player version, or the Quiktime, and save it to disk.

You should have a diagram in your owners manual, too.

darnit. I put the striker bugger in the front instead of the back of the striker. how should i get it out? it seems stuck.. uhh oh

[big_balla]

You mean the striker buffer? I did that once. I can't give you an easy way, I just took everything out again, and tried to get it with a paper clip, or something, I can't remember. You might be able take off the frame, and wedge it out from the bottom. If none of those work, this is a little complicated, but there is another video to help you here Once you have the valve out, you should be able to pop the striker buffer out, the same way.

Again, click on either Windows Media Player, or Quicktime. And make SURE you put everything back together correctly.

I watched that. I did everything right before except putting the striker buffer in the wrong way. hmmm well i don't know how to get it out right now because its jammed in good and i dont have the tool do undo the thing that takes the circular screws out.

[big_balla]

You don't have a flathead screwdriver? You could use a key, too I guess. Anything flat, should do the trick.

[jacobeid]

the screws are just like circles. they aren't anything with a screw driver. its just a small circle.

[hchammer]

Allen wrench screws

[big_balla]

The allen wrenches you need to take off the frame should've come with your gun. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you. They probably sell them at your local store. They are in the shape of an L, if you don't know what they look like.

[dfdtrumpet]

you may just have one of the wrenches around the house, they often come with any thing that needs them. you could ask your freind that cleans the markers for you, too( or any one with a pb gun). most of the guns come with them, and one of them are prolly the right size. like balla said, most stores will carry them too.
