under 30, eh?(freakin canadians, j/k:P )
assuming that his gun is completely stock, you should try and find a pretty good cheap barrel, like a progressive(39.95 according to smart parts website, so you can probably find it cheaper). if he has a new barrel, get him a double trigger (they run around 30ish). Or you could get him a rocket cock two. it goes over the cocking slot so no paint or anything gets in there, they run about 15 bucks.
hope that helped.

Anti siphon tank

agitated loader (either used or spring up some more cash)

Maybe a drop or double trigger(only if he has an E-Hopper already), skip getting him a new bolt. Maybe gloves or some new grips, perhaps some cool tinted lenses for his goggles(if he likes that sort of thing). Maybe a parts kit(IMO always welcome) or an Air Tipps RVA(the best) or Maddman Spring kit, or you could pick up his field and air fee next time you guys go out. There are lots of little things you could do.
BTW: Those Big Shots at Countypaintball are the old style threads, so if you get him one make sure his serial number is below 495,501.

No need to buy a new bolt for a tippmann. I say just get anti siphon and try to find a bigshot or cp barrel used.
