i just got my lp kit from the blessed UPS man, and i installed it. that was the hardest thing to fit in my gun ever. theres a tiny little gap inbetween the reciever halves at the very top of the gun. the valve is too freakin big! :pissed: plus the hammer was rough as heck and scratched up my polished internals. i had to sand down the hammer to make it work right. plus i have a air america violator that didnt come with instructions on how to work it :( so now i have everything together but im clueless on how to adjust the reg. how do i oil it? i havent aired it up yet cause im afraid to ruin something. can someone please help??????? anyone have any similar problems with the fitting of the LP kit?

if your reg has a guage on it...DO NOT OIL IT. other than that, i cant tell yah

For the gap, don't worry about it. It happened with me and an lp kit. Just screw the powertube/valve on one more turn and it should fit perfectly fine.

if you mean those 2 screws on the side, then yea i have done that but i got it so tight that i thought that was enough. im afraid to go anyfuther cause i dont wanna strip it. maybe i should let tippmann know about it. last night before bed, i sanded down my internals and the powertubeto see if i can get a fit but it didnt work.

[brandon14295]

crap i just stripped it. now i will have to send it in

no... the VA... twist that around one more time... not the valve screws...

poor ol' feller...

you could try come weak loctite on the screws..?

[brandon14295]

well i called tippmann and they said to send everything to them. i 3 day shipped it about 4 hours ago. i hope they can fix it and hope it wouldnt cost me extra. anyway thanks for everyones help.

Yeah I was talking about the VA into the Valve :P It should be under warranty (if the LP kit comes with a warranty..does it?). Did you send your whole gun in? If so they'll definitely have it fixed for you.

[brandon14295]

yeah i sent everything but my barrel, tank, and hopper.

now im sad that i dont have a gun with me. :(
