My barrel is bent, but it is not the barrel?

[HOD_Maverick]

Ok. i just got my gun and have fired it. I just found out that my barrle is not strait, but it is not my barrel, because i have 2 differt ones. What i think is wrong is that, when i screw it in, there is a problem with the screws inside the part where you put the barrel in. I have already sent it in to tippmann to fix it and nothing has changed. What can i do to fix it.

no gun shots perfectly straight is it really pronounced? How off line is it? is it some thing you can compensate for? or is it so bad that you should possibly recontact tippmann and get thier opionion. On the tippmann forum several people have noticed that thier barrel is a little off. (such is the problem) whatever you do don't lose your temper and try to bend the barrel staright you could destroy the reciever halfs and the barrel threads. here's my idea get some o-rings preferably ones that just fit around the barrel threads and put it on at the beginning of the threads as you start the barrel in you should get enough play to get the barrel a little straighter it may stick out a 1/8 in. but should not affect the pb's your shooting good luck. "where do you get different size o-rings?" you ask. your local plumbing or hardware store they have all kinds of little pieces you might be interested in. hope that works and helps.
