Tippmann Silenceing Equipment

[haro]

Does anyone know any good ways to silence my Tippmann (not making a silencer). I've heard of kits you can buy to make your internals more quiet. Does anyone know where you can get them, or how to make them?

Since I had a very silenced Tippman, I'll tell you what I did. I'll try to make it as simple as possible.
1- Put some electrical tape on the front of your rear bolt where it hits the pin inside the black tube.
2. Place a piece of tape on the cocking knob that sticks out, but place it on the inside. Try to make it so it doesn't wobble.
3. Place some cloth tape, covered by duct tape, on your removable elbow. Place it above the hole where the balls come out, so there is no wobble.
4. Place a small piece of rubberband inside the sear spring. You don't have to tie it, just place a piece about the size, or bigger, of the spring stretched.
5. Put duct tape around the sear pin (the pin that the spring connects to) and the two pins that the sear itself hits and lays on.
6. Put a single piece of tape where the sear catches the rear bolt.
7. Wrap your tank with some cloth, or get a cover.
8. Do the same for your hopper.
9. Fill the empty space where your grips are with some cloth of some sort.
10. Keep your gun well oiled and reapply mods as needed.

These will take away all, if not most, metal on metal hits in your Tippman. This will take away all vibration and movement, and make your Tippy much more quiet.

EDIT: I just read your other thread, this stuff will only work on the 98

Exactly what Creeper said. I've done pretty much the same stuff to my own 98, and it made a big difference... My C98 sounds a lot different than my other two friends...

Some additions done with the rubber tire patch kits:

Glue a rubber pad to your CA adaptor where it screws onto your grip (use contact cement, not rubber cement)

Glue a round patch of rubber to the front of your hammer where it strikes the pin

Glue a round patch to the cone-shaped inner bolt piece (you have to cut out a pie-piece shaped chunk to get it to lie flush on the cone). This will also push the inner bolt piece back out of the outer piece a tiny bit, which makes your cocking knob a tight fit. Now all three pieces are held together as one piece, with no movement and rubber where it contacts the valve pin.

I would never put electrical tape or duct tape in my marker, it gums up really bad, especially in heat. I wrapped thin strips of teflon tape around the seer spring pin and the two pins the seer hits, nothing on the pin that the seer rotates on. I knotted the seer rubber band to keep it from coming out (just in case).

Polishing the internals JUST A LITTLE will cut down on noise.

Polish the internals with a brillo pad -use mother's magic or any gun polish. To make your gun more silent; First cock/fire without any gas (notice the loud metal sound). Get 3m's double sided tape 1/4 thickness, take the bolt off, clean it (hammer-the face that strikes the internal pin) with Windex-peel one half the the tape off, place hammer on top of it, make sure it sticks really good, take a razor and trim off excess tape (make it flush).Once it's on really good remove tape on other other side ( this is where the hammer hits the pin ). Oil the other side of the tape so it does not stick to your finger(hops 9). Cock/fire without any gas and notice the difference!! This will not effect the performance of the marker. DO NOT USE TEFLON-oil breaks it down and it will turn into a gooey paste that will damage the internals!! Felt will not last as long as 3m's 2x tape- micro-hairs break up.
