A local shop might give you one for a buck or two. Or, you could go to a hardware store with it and ask them if they have an allen screw that fits, never kno might get lucky, and it'll only be like $.30 there.

This will work. I've gone and bought the part from my local Ace Hardware.

Not exactly sure if its a good thing that it worked itself loose. If i were you i would take your power tube out and look at (since sending high pressure gas throught a chamber with a loose screw isnt a good idea). If it looks like its striped or something you might try some teflon tape if you dont want to spend the money, but if that happens i would just buy a new tube.

Velocity screws are usually loose. I put teflon tape on mine to keep it in place.

Teflon tape is my hero when it comes to marker repairs. Come to think of it, tape in general is my hero...um...moving on...

You should be able to find a screw to fit the job at your local hardware store. But if not, I know of a handy dandy Tippmann parts website you may might to check out (http://www.tippmannparts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.prodInfo&productID=251&categoryID=12).

We sell the velocity screw by itself. However, there's a $10 minimum order and it seems silly to pay for shipping when you're only buying a small part like that. If you also need some other items like tank o-rings, gun oil, or whatever to help make the order more worthwhile, then you can get one included along with other stuff you need.
