68 carbine velocity?

68 carbine velocity!

I have a sweet 68 carbine, but the velocity seems difficult to adjust (using the normal velocity adjustment.). I just made a spigot?, .........so I would get greater tension on the bolt return spring. This seemed to help the velocity quit a bit.

I wonder if the return spring is weak (these markers are 10-14 years old.)

Does anyone have a healthy return spring (and can you measure the overall length?)

Thanks

I assume by "return spring" you mean the mainspring / rear bolt spring? If so, they are the same springs used in all the modern tippmanns. Get yourself a madman spring kit or similar and you should be good to go.

Shameless plug, but if you hit the Pro-Lite/Carb accessories link in my sig, I've got a couple of RVAs and folding stocks with RVAs for sale. Makes velocity adjustment way easier and you don't have to worry about messing up your powertube.
