TM Shotgun nozzle replacement?

MMMiles! · August 14th, 2005, 11:11

Just noticed this on Arnie's, slipped past a few days ago. Paintball-X, a retailer in the US, seems to be offering a metal replacement nozzle for TM M3's (and SPAS-12). For those unfamiliar with the TM shotguns, they're very fun pieces, but have a pretty critical design flaw that manifests itself after a few thousand rounds and turns your shotgun into a paper weight.

There's no picture, and no extra information, but for $US24 it might be worth a shot. Anyone want to give it a try? I know there are dozens of busted TM's out there. If this part works, I'd love to hear about it.

I've got mine working again, but if someone wants to do a group order or something, I'll take one.

Huh, facinating.

MMMiles! · August 14th, 2005, 14:20

I only added it to the news because I loved my TM M3s... great guns, until the nozzle gives out.

And Derek who runs Paintball-X/Airsoft-X is a great guy to deal with...drop him a line!

I may order one to test it out. A metal replacement for that part would be amazing. I just got a replacement from another shotty, but that gets too expensive to have to keep doing.

[Amazing the timing of this part and HoJo's post coming up; Dman's just broke, and I just gave Jugglez $150 for a parts shotty this week. The irony.]

Holy crap! My M3 just broke on me yesterday. What luck. I will be ordering it for sure. Anybody else want to do a group order, save on shipping? PM me if you do. I will be buying this by the end of the week for sure.

My brother's M3 will probably be needing one of these sooner or later. I've contacted the vendor concerning a group order. Will update in the Group Orders forum when i have the details.

Just pointing out that the part is also available (in plastic) from WGC, though it was previously only available from DenTrinity.
On WGC it's only $3.40 USD!!!
If these metal ones are no good, it couldn't hurt for shotty owners to just stock up on plastic ones, at less than $5 USD they're practically disposable.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I can almost see it now:

*PUMP*
*Bang*
(the three BB's just roll out)
"Alright guys, I'll be back in 30 minutes, I gotta go change the nozzle."

TheToastmaster · August 14th, 2005, 16:53

It's easy enough to change if you know how that it COULD come to that. Though it sometimes rips the hopup when it jams, I've heard.

Group order sounds like a good idea... I'm in for one if someone gets that going

What?! No picture?

dman · August 15th, 2005, 00:58

Thinking of a little reverse engineering?

I'm guessing they're sand casting aluminum in green sand. I just want to see the metal parts.
