can i use parts from other guns in my tribal?

[wulf1010]

Hey just wondering if i could use parts from imps or bushys in a tribal mephisto.....i can do some cut and fit to make them work

[jakesak]

Most parts no. In fact, almost none will work. What are you looking at replacing?

[wulf1010]

replacing? nothing i just wanna tinker

[DeFiant]

I think I read somewhere that Rich modified a bushy valve and put it in his Tribal, someone correct me if i'm wrong.

i also hear that Em1 bolts fit

The body of the tribal was drilled out to allow for a tribal valve to be put in.

[Vaypourus]

Some EM1 bolts fit, however, the tolerances were kinda crazy, so you never really know. Rich has put a few bush red valves into tribals, however it does involve some machining.

I believe that the only part that is the same is the solenoid; the bushmaster and the tribal both used the same skinner solenoid.

with the exception that the mounting holes need to be drilled out to mount a bushy noid in a tribal

What about impy bolts and bushy bolts, will they work.

[Vaypourus]

I don't believe they do.

where the devil do you get new bolts then lol

Bandit Bolts puts out a Nylon bolt that is as light, if not lighter, then a delrin bolt, does not swell, and has o-rings for maximum effiency.

Fearfactorypaintball(http://www.fearfactorypb.com/) makes lots of tribal parts, and has made some tribal bolts in the past(I actually own a white delrin bolt they made) Rich also started a Fear Products line that was never fully released that had an undertow style bolt, but problems with the design and moveing across the country has stopp that for the moment.

Its too bad that they want $50 for the Bandit. Rich said he could whip out a delrin bolt for $30.

[CrazyB]

I agree on that end, but i don't think rich(at least last time talking to him) can make nylon bolts, and that is important to some people. Heck i feel like buying one of those for test purposes.
