I just need to rig up a siphon tank. I love old Tippmanns, so I was quite happy to get hold of this.

It came with a price though; The air line is ripped so I will need a kit to fix that (I has it!!) and one of the two very large screws right in front of the trigger guard is stripped and locked in and I cannot get it out. (EDIT: Did that, boy was that a bugger to get out!) I am going to file two sides of the screw down so I can get a tool to actually grab onto it, then replace the screw. The thing looks awfully complicated compared to todays Tippmann markers. I will be happy to get this thing up and running.

The neat thing about it is I can change out grips with my ICD Alley Cat (I love the comfy grips on that marker!)
