Some of the power tubes coming out of Tippmann have been weak. If your marker is getting excesively cold all of the time I would look into an expansion chamber or an antisiphon tank.

No after market bolt. Does Tippmann still sell there aluminum power tubes? I'd feel alot better with one of those. I bought a PB aluminum power tube, thinking that it would solve all my probs. but they suck majorly. (Mad double firing,gun sometimes wouldn't recock due to the little teflon piece on the front bolt becoming misaligned) I just put on another Tippmann power tube hope it last a while this time.

use the PB power tube iwth stock bolt that should work fine
