Red isn't necessarily permanent, it just takes a lot more torque to get off.

no....red IS permanent...its the epoxy of thread lockers

Well, we also used the loc tite, but there was still a small leak (heh, im sounding repetitive). Maybe we did it wrong. Today I picked up a small tube of silicone, which i play to bead right around where the hose and the chamber meet. I might add some more loc tite to be sure tho...

Is there anything wrong with the silicone? It is 100 percent silicone, and it's black, so it won't stand out too bad... And it is a very minimal leak, the only way i could tell was I saw bubbles when I put a drop of water on the threads to check.

Hers what I do when I am putting a gas line into my power tube. take the power tube out of the gun and wrap the threads of the gas line in just a little teflon, maybe just 2 or 3 wraps thenput it in the powertube hand tight and then put the Co2 on the ASA that way it will be slowly leaking out of the connection that I am making. Then I tighten it until the leak stops. Because if you tighten past that it will start to leak again using teflon. Then I take the Co2 off and then put the power tube and installed gas line and ASA assembly back into the gun.

i had some issues with this the other day. sometimes the teflon tape tends to not want to get down into the threads very well at first, i takes some work and practice but you can get it to work fine w/ just teflon.

haha, i solved it, me and my dad put some black silicone around the threads, worked like a charm, and it shouldnt hinder the threads coming out, and, it doesnt look half bad either

Someone asked in another thread so I am putting it in here as well.

This is how to install a carbine stock on a Tippmann 98. The first pic is what the stock looks like. The second pic is the rear insert that replaces the rear plug on the gun. The 3rd pic shows how to slide the stock onto the the rear insert once it is installed on the gun. The 4th pic shows how to install the allen screw (make sure the tightening collar is above the allen screw) the last pic shows the tightening collar that you use to snug the stock onto the gun.

need help with my tippy

i lost the ball detent that came with the gun the other day and i replaced itwith one frm my very first gun but now it sucks and only shoots 50 ft w/ my flaline barrel on

**Smitty** · October 19th, 05:54 PM

was your very first gun the same as the tippy you lost your detent on? Different guns usually dont have interchangable parts. Tippy detents are about $3 from your local proshop.

**pntballbologna2** · October 20th, 02:59 PM

Actually it wasn't so I guess thats the problem
thanks 4 the help
and
is a stock a good investment if u r a woodsball player

... eat more bologna...

**Roadkill** · October 20th, 03:09 PM

A stock is something you want to try before you buy. its mainly preferance. I personally find stocks uncomfortable and i cant bring the gun up to my eyes which bugs me and i suck with em. My freind on the other hand loves his stock and is good with it

**mb987** · November 1st, 08:59 PM

im havin trouble with my tippman, ive had it checked out and they think its something with the powertube maybe. the gun is inconsistant with the co2 pressure, like it fires one round perfectly and then on the next shot or two it practically lets the ball drop out of the barrel and barely gives off any co2 and uncocks itself

Check for leaks. Gas it up and listen very closely. I wouldnt be suprised if it is a problem with the power tube.

**Vweltin** · November 6th, 07:05 AM

this may sound dumb but: how do you take the pins out of the field strip things?

**paintthecatBLUE** · November 6th, 10:06 AM

in most guns i think those just come out by pulling it

**Smitty** · November 30th, 08:15 AM

This is Xjnation's guide to making a homemade ball detent and its pretty ingenious didnt want to lose it so I stuck it in here.

is i true that if you send in a m98 that tippman will give you a 98c?

**kulitkonu** · February 21st, 06:48 PM

hi. i'm having problems with my custom 98, it only fires 240fps max even with a full CO2 tank.

**RandomSkater** · March 3rd, 08:25 PM

I have a A-5

I was trying to take my trigger guard off, to see how it felt, and the trigger and sear came apart and i can't get the sear to go in the right place.

I can't get the sear to go forward without using my finger. I'm pretty sure I have the spring on right for the sear, but it doesn't seem like it.

I actually lost the stock spring, so I'm just using this spring to show how it's not working right.
