I would contact Tippmann and explain to them what happened. You probably won't get a replacement for free. As it was user error that broke it. At least they can tell you the cost to replace it.

i checked them and they did not have the part i needed. most of what they have is for the old rt system.

Ya, just call 'em on Monday.

What part did you strip? Is there no way to chase the threads with a tap/dye?

this is a common problem with the new ones, call them and they will ask your address and ship it, you will have it in under a week. I prefer the old style myself, i think the new ones are cheaper. i sold it before even using it for a game

Well No. 1 don't beat yourself up verbally. That's just gonna cause all mannor of hades for you in the long run in life. Stuff happens.

No. 2 ask your local paintball shop in the future that has a Tech if they have a used part you need. If he does and it's useable, he'll either sell it or give it to you.

I have learned that you'd be surprised what parts Techs will just give you off of older trade in markers. They just cannibalize them for people looking for a fully upgraded marker but don't mind one used.

My local paintball shop cannibalizes everything they can for custom built markers. The place is like AMARC at Davis-Monthon Air Force Base. Waste not want not.
