Tippmann A5 - saftey trigger

[Gary10k]

I use a Tippmann A-5 (no real tourny feilds near me, so I play senario at Delta Force)

Anyway, I just got my Tippmann A-5 with flatline/e-grip and my only problem is that the saftey trigger/catch/pin (whatever you want to call it) sits loose and can some times go on "safe mode" when firing. This can be a big problem, especially when im shooting at some one.

Can i tighten the saftey trigger? If so, how?

if you mean that the safty is loose and slips on during the game, you could see if anyone has any spares on the classifieds, or just see if you can get a better oring from the local plumbers...

cheers

take the grip apart and take out the safety and then put a small o-ring over the safety pin, you will need to put the o-ring on the safety position side, or it could be the other side. and that should then stop it from moving so much.

More importantly..if thesafety can slip on, then surely it can also slip off?
Not so good.

Wouldnt it be better to just turn the frame off?

Wouldnt it be better to just turn the frame off and remove the safety catch?

Skeet, you are way cleverer than Tippmann, they didn't think of that at all . The only "off" switch is the mechanical safety.
I've been hoping someone would make an aftermarket grip with a switch but no luck yet.

Oh...couldnt one be retro fitted into the frame or something...membrane pad mods are popular now!
