I tried polishing over the damage but it just gets worse. Ill just have the shop replace it

I have pretty much the same thing in the same area. I think during the casting there was void in that area. It looks like they filled it in and then bored it out. My 2 cents on that area is that since the part that moves in that area is plastic I wouldnt worry about it too much. It will eventually seat it self correctly after some wear.

You say your polishing made it worse. How are you polishing it ? are you following the curvature of the area evenly

Ive used the Brillo methode from front to back, but it looks like the 'filled' part is a little frail and crumbles away, leaving the marks as you can see on the picture.

well if it is crumbling away ! then you may as well call Tippmann up and have them replace it. Just that half. They may want you to ship it out to them first , dont know ..

Im Dutch, so shipping it to them is not an option for me because its my main (and only ) marker, that would cost me about 3-4 weeks. Ill have the shop take a look at it and come up with a solution.
