Im thinking about buying a 2nd one but I dont want to if the valve is not rebuildable tippman says no but I found out since then that there are actually 2 versions of the valve
They're rebuildable, its just a pain to do it because they wanted people to send them in instead of you doing the servicing yourself. Its all held together with a spring washer and you have to pry it out with a knife while keeping the spring pressed down with a screw driver or chop stick. You can toss the spring washer for a C clip to make doing repairs in the future easier. Inside you will replace 1 oring i believe. The cupseal itself usually never fails, and if it does they're still available for sale.
@@JLMtime If this is the 68 Carbine, it should be similar to the A5 valve but the rear has that smooth faced brass valve seat, secured with a snap ring.. This is a bit easier to remove than the Pro Lite valve seat in my opinion. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES & Secure the valve body in a vice with rag or paper towels around it to protect it. Depress the brass seat gently, just enough to work a dental pick in there and pull up the top coil of that ring... then chase, or follow it around and out of the chamfer... then it should come out. Again WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
kenny can you rebuild the valve on this marker ?
Do you know where I can get a O-ring set for this marker? I've tried everywhere.
Would check CaptinO-ring on eBay they make all sorts of o rings! Thanks for watching!
