It doesn't come with a manual?

 

[clansman1]

yes it does i have looked at it and i know what i have to take out and all that but i am not sure about doing it.

if i keep a clean space by me and put the stuff on a board so i can see it, also if i see what it looks like when i take it out will i be fine.

cheers jason

Should be ok. Seriously as long as you remember how it came out its a piece of cake, it won't be complicated at all

HI

everyone i did it today to lube the o rings and to my annoyance they were already lubed.
i struggled to get the bolt and other thing below it until i pull the trigger and it all dropped it.
lol

cheers for your help

Welcome to the world of paintball mate! Its all downhill after your first dissasembly.

I remember when I first got my Tippmann 98, took it apart the first day before I gassed it up, gassed it up a couple of days later and it wouldnt work luckily since i knew how to take it apart it I just took it apart and checked everything, miraculously started working again.

A few pointers for future dissasembly / work:
-Until you know your gun inside out, make sure you take it apart in a clear environent, preferably with tile or lino floors - not particularily due to dirt, more for when one of those annoying bolts/screws/springs/detents/leprichauns pops out and falls on the floor
-Keep her lubed! Strip it down and clean it after every days paintballing - not only will this keep your gun in good working order, but once you get comfortable stripping it you will be able to fix it easier if it goes down on the day.
-Keep the ASA (the bit you put the gas bottle in) clean, one of the biggest problems you'll have is if you let dirt get into the air system.

Thats all I can think of for now... now wheres my tippy, I feel like a home mod...

Haha, wait until you dissasemble a Halo... did it for the first time ever this morning, to install an overdrive kit and a new backplate, which meant getting right down to the gears themselves... took 3 hours to get it all working, new backplate looks sick now tho. That is possibly one of the most frustrating things I've ever done...

i suck at putting things back together and i start to shake and sweat haha then i get really annoyed because i cant do it then punch somthing which often is not the best thing but o well.

it took me ages to get the venturi bolt and striker bolt back in. i hope i dont have to take anything else apart on it.
