Brand new here

Does anybody know where I can get the plastic thing that covers the gap on the side of the Orion paintball gun? If not would duct tape or something like that work?

 

[martix_agent]

the plastic piece directly under your feedneck? That's your ball detent, it prevents balls from double feeing. good luck finding that part sold seprately. I helped my neighbor kid find one a few years ago and it too about an hour of searching the internet.

 

[disturbed318]

Dang. I figured as much, and knowing my luck duct tape wouldn't work would it?\
And yes, I do mean the ball detent, right under the feedneck.

 

[martix_agent]

no duct tape won't work.
what you could do instead, is drill it out for an autococker detent ont eh other side and fill in the hole. It'd be a lot of work, but thaen agian, who knows if you can even buy that peice by itself.


Anotehr idea is to finda way to affix an o-ring in halfway through the hole so it acts like a detent.

 

[disturbed318]

Ok, thanks. Also, the cocking bolt on it is missing two O rings, would this be why it doesn't autocock like it's supposed to? If not then I need to get it checked out.

 

[kenny_1491]

yeah that would be your problem.

 

[TheAznInvazn]

Maybe... The bolt o-rings I thought were to keep efficiency up, and to my knowledge, the only reason for cocking problems with o-rings would be with the striker o-ring.

 

[disturbed318]

Hmm... Well I'll get it checked out then, just in case. Heck, if I have to, I'll trade it in and get a new one. I mean, they're only, what? $90, $100?

 

[TheAznInvazn]

hold on, your gun is new?

 

[disturbed318]

Oh, no. I can still trade it in to the local paintball store and probably get $30-$60 for it though.

 

[TheAznInvazn]

oic...

If you still want something similer, a Spyder isn't a bad choice.

Durable, nice looking, moddable, great performers. Good Price/Performance ratio

 

[disturbed318]

Hmm... price? and I've heard lots of things for good starter guns. I've heard Tippmann 98, I've heard Tippmann, X-7, I've heard Orion, I've heard a lot of Spyders... So hard to choose... From what I could guage from using one last time I went paintballing, the Icon I used was pretty good, except the trigger was way too sensitive. Anyways, what's the price of that Spyder you're talking about?

 

[TheAznInvazn]

Not sure, but Icon's are Spyders made with sub-standard parts.

The actual company Spyder makes fantastic beginner, and now some seriously competative guns.

I bet you can get used Spyders and such from the nation for dirt cheap, and AV also has some reburb Spyders for cheap as well.

 

[disturbed318]

Thanks dude. That really helped, I just got back from the store and I got a Spyder Sonix. It's pretty sick. Even with the stock barrel it's almost dead-on for accuracy, and I got it for just under $100.

 

[martix_agent]

good call. enjoy your new, qlauity paintball gun.

 

[disturbed318]

Thanks, you bet I will. I was having fun just shooting it at a bunker I set up in the woods
