Putting the gun together

ANSWER : Check the O rings on the big metal striker, make sure that you have the spring on the back (where the stock would have went) in the right hole on the back plate. Make sure that your velocity is set to a reasonable level.

ANSWER : Step 1

Attach two 8-foot PVC pipes to one of the 12-foot PVC pipes using two elbow fittings and PVC cement. The result will be a short U shape.

Step 2
Attach the remaining three 12-foot PVC pipes together using two elbow fittings and PVC cement. The result will be a tall U shape.

Step 3
Attach the two U-shaped assemblies together using two elbow fittings and PVC cement. The short U shape is the horizontal base; the tall U shape is the upright frame. The finished result will resemble a bookend

Step 4
Cut strips of poultry netting and stretch them across the frame, fastening them with nylon cable ties. You’ll find poultry netting packaged in rolls that are 3 feet in width. Cut lengths of the netting to stretch horizontally across the frame, leaving them in the standard width. Start at the top and work down along the back of the tall frame, creating a netted pocket. Overlap the strips by about 8 inches.

Step 5
Position the net so that no houses, automobiles or high-traffic areas are behind it. Errant balls can be unpredictable and dangerous.

Step 6
Secure the net by placing one 50-lb bag of sand on top of each leg of the practice net’s base.

ANSWER : Hi there. Tippmann markers are super tough to make sure that they are put back together properly. The stupid clamshell design plus all the little, under engineered parts make it difficult to get it back together properly, especially after installing a stock. I was in the paintball industry for 10 years but have been out of it for a little bit, but i was one of the founding members of Uprising Nation and was a gunsmith/ salesman for PaintballOnline.com / Xtremes. Now with that said…I even had trouble with the tippmann 98’s…and I can rebuild an autococker with my eyes closed but can sometimes be stumped by the tippy’s bad design. It is really tough to diagnose an issue on these guns without looking at it. You may have the ball detent backwards,l missing a pin, sometimes the after market stocks on those are a little too large on the outside diameter preventing the internals from properly seating. The cycloce system may be off due to the valves not meing properly aligned or the connecting rod not being in all the way. Many times though it is incorrect installation of the detent or the deternt gets damages. That little orange peice of **** flap is a mance. I would start there.

It may seem like i am bashing your gun. Im not… Once they are put together properly they work great. Just DONT TAKE THEM APART. lol. If you buy the parts at a local gun shop they will install them for free.

lol I have 6 guns for sale 🙂

Have a good day

ANSWER : Personally, with that many problems, I’d call Mossberg and get a return authorization. None of these things should be happening, especially with a new gun.

ANSWER : No, you didn’t do anything wrong… Paintballs come in a variety of sizes. That difference is very hard to see with the naked eye, but your barrel knows what fits and what doesn’t. Players have a choice in barrels and ID-internal dimensions, so the balls are various sizes as well. You will have to sample a few brands and see what works best for you.Good luck!

Play hard, play safe, play with honor!

ANSWER : The Gun should be looked at by a gunsmith for your safety and the safety of your son and anyone else that comes into contact with it.

From Wikipedia info:The Model 12 (introduced in 1912) was the next step from the Winchester Model 1897 hammer-fired shotgun, which in turn had evolved from the earlier Winchester Model 1893 shotgun. The Model 12 was designed by Winchester employee Thomas Crossly Johnson, and was based in large part on a design by John Browning. It was an entirely new hammerless design and was initially available in 20 gauge only (12 and 16 gauge guns were not sold until 1914). The Model 12 was the first truly successful modern hammerless pump-action shotgun ever produced. Its tubular magazine was loaded, and the action was fed, through the bottom of the gun. Empty shotgun shells ejected to the right. Depending on the particular wooden transformer plug installed in the magazine, 2, 3, or 4 shells could be stored in the tubular magazine. Without a plug, the magazine will hold 6, 2 3/4″ 12 ga. shells. With its forged and polished steel parts, the ultimate reason for the end of its regular production in 1963 was that it had become too expensive to produce at a competitive price. The primary competition at this time came from the much less expensive Remington Model 870, which had been introduced in 1950. In addition to price competition issues, the Winchester Model 12 rarely had parts break or wear out, often serving multiple subsequent owners, which further served to limit repeat sales. The majority of “modern” Model 12 shotguns manufactured after the 1930’s were chambered for 2¾-inch shotgun shells, only. Some early Model 12’s, however, were chambered for 2 9/16-inch shotgun shells. To add further confusion, some of these early Model 12’s have subsequently been modified, with their chambers lengthened to accept 2¾-inch shotgun shells, while others remain in their factory-stock 2 9/16-inch chamber lengths. Careful inspection by a gunsmith is always recommended to determine whether or not it is safe to fire a modern 2¾-inch shotgun shell in older Model 12’s.Special commemorative examples were nonetheless produced by Winchester after 1963 through 2006, through specialized gun collector purchase programs, but the Perfect Repeater shotgun was never mass-produced after 1963. The Winchester factory announced a complete closing of the factory facility in January 2006, thus ending the Model 12’s long and illustrious career at the age of 95 years.This site is for the R&R of the barrelhttp://www.nrapublications.org/TAR/Winchester12.asp
