The Front sight spring on 98 custom

[death_master]

I was oiling my gun when the front sight spring popped out! Does the tippmann spring kit include this spring? If not where could I get this?:sulk:

I believe (and I am not 100% sure) that the sprnig kit for the Tippmann guns are the rear tension springs for propelling the bolt and her attachments forward so no, the spring won't be in there.

Call up Tippmann or visit their website (Tippmann.com) and just order a new one...

yea that damn spring is a b*tch. I find its easier if you leave the elbow thing clicked in while your taking it apart

[xavier678]

yeah, i would go to a pro-shop and see if they have a 'tippmann repair kit' and buy one from them, i would also get a detent while you are at it because its those that tend to disappear.

or, you can screw in the front sight allen screw really tight so it wont move...

[xavier678]

yeah, i have a strap clip drilled through there so it dosent matter anyway for me.

For some reason in two years of using this tippy I have never lost it, or have even had to look for that spring.

Go to tippmann.com and order a catalog (it's free). It's just a small booklet type thing. In it, they have diagrams of all the guns totaly torn apart and the parts are numbered.
On the next page, the parts are listed. Just find the one you're lookin' for and order it. It's a good way to make sure you're gettin' the right thing.

Hey do you think that i could get a free catalog? I live in canada, and tippmann doesn't treat canada to well!

****ing a! i can't get the thing back in, does ne1 know the right way to put it in?

put the spring in first, then put the front sight on it, now hold it down with your finger and slowly put the reciver halves back together..
