Splash of paint

[Tom]

Do you still have the feedneck for the 98?
You can have a go at running from a standard hopper to see if there is any difference.

Even without that you can have a go with everything starting clean and shooting until you get a break. Then stop and examine all of the areas for the source. Is the paint generally breaking or is the shell being trapped agajnst side of the bolt.
Try it as single shots, double and triple taps to see if there is a difference

The cyclone should not break paint, but paint found in the cyclone could be either broken in the cyclone or 'splash back' from a chop at the bolt

Also try another barrel - and compare the paint size to your existing barrel, if it's tight then it can break from the force.

Yep, it's rifled barrel. I tried to slide ball through barrel and it runs fine. I have already tried shorter stock barrel, and i think it was working fine. Last thing what I'll do is try replacing cyclone feed system to stock one. Cant test it right now because of windy cold weather... Its -15 celsius right now, and everything is freezing... Balls will crack in this cold :/

You should be fine to test it as long as the paint you're using has been stored inside out of the cold. The cold won't affect the paint so quickly that it will start breaking as soon as you're out. Where are you based anyway? -15.c is pretty damn cold so I'm guessing not the UK?

Im from Lithuania. Last two months there was about +5 and know in few weeks there is now about -17.c... As soon as can try all things out and reply what happens.

if you have an e-trigger (I assume so) you've most likely left part of the manual trigger inside the gun which needs to come out

i have had a very similar problem with my A5, i rebuilt the cyclone feed and mine is alot better but i still need to give it a good test...

this is what i found --> https://flic.kr/p/njgW86 & https://flic.kr/p/nhxMZy

make sure your hopper is feeding properly and that your barrel is clean if any obstructions also check your bolt also its called a barrel break if all else fails perhaps tippman can help they have great service
