Cut a strip out of a wide rubber band and glue it on the inside of the elbow right below the feed port.

HERE'S A PIC (http://www.geocities.com/snaretan/Tippmann.html) it's at the bottom of the page, wait for it to load.

I remember how much I hated the elbow when I first got my tippy. Now it just feels wierd when I play with a gun with a still hopper.

I must say that is quite a small problem.

Yup! very small. put a dadgum rubber band or something. I dont think I would even consider this a problem. and how could you have the gun long enough to take it apart and not notice that it wobbles in the first place. I noticed that before I EVER got around to taking my gun apart.
