Pritch Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I’ve just bought a brand new Tippmann m4 and immediately noticed this spring noise in the buffer tube when firing, is this normal? It’s almost like a vibration after the intial recoil. And I’ve also came to the conclusion that the hopup is shite so I’m looking for a tdc hop up unit but the incentive design one is out of stock, are there any other good options? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender90 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Apparently Real Steel do it too, feature of the design. My PTS Mega MKM does same to some extent, I think there's a knack to putting the spring in, twisting it slightly that's what I did but Google is probably a better guide than me.

Yeah I tried google and all it came up with is people discussing real steel m4s so I thought I’d check but that’s for the clear up, I was just concerned it was an issue.

Mike W Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If it does bother you too much you can put a layer of paper around the spring or some grease. Be careful of the grease one though as I have seen some reports of them playing up when greased. Mine still does it and have not cured it as like the above post , the real steel versions do it as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airsoft_Mr B Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yes mine has the same issue! I tried putting packing paper around it as I saw on a YT but wouldn't fit, but a bit of grease does help a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasro Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I ordered a sheet of 0.5mm nitrile to use instead of paper as nitrile is good for vibration isolation (usually used as form of pads or mats) £2.45 is fairly cheap and worth a try smallest you'd need is 100mm x 150mm I believe... let's see how it goes https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NITRILE-0-5MM-THICK-SHEET-GREAT-OIL-RESISTANT-THIN-BLACK-RUBBER-VARIOUS-SIZES/252712289174?hash=item3ad6d38396:m:mjxLp9v53BPauccAEtwRjTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasro Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 contact Tony via facebook. He's one top guy to speak to regarding any Tippmann upgrades. His recommendation status is 10/10 https://www.facebook.com/tonytaffreynolds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a 6.03 is the best remedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritch Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 The tippmann doesn’t push enough air down the barrel for a wide bore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
