Well Paintball is like manythings.... You throw more money into it and it just gets better. (That does not include honda civics... EWW) Try a quarter... And if that doesnt work find something that has a flat edge and will fit into that slot that is longer then a coin so u have more leverage -
tightly wrap some cloth around the tip and use a wrench. If you have enough cloth wrapped up, it should catch and loosenStarting a new team!
If you you wanna start a paintball team, and live near Laconia NH, go ahead and PM me! This is gonna be HUGE! Oh, and any cool ideas for a team name are appreciated.Comment

I had the same exact problem before. What worked was using the coin AND pliers at the same time (use the pliers to turn the coin). It worked like a charm and unscrewed very quickly. I give thanks to whoever posted that tip before, as it was not my original idea.Comment

I think AGD likes to make sure nothing's going to come off. Blue Loc-Tite was used on the bottomline screws, sight rail and foregrip mount screws, barrel muzzle brake, etc. My PT tip won't budge either, its probably got a daub of some sealing/locking compound on it. Try a cloth-wrapped wrench, or heat it up a BIT with a lighter before trying to unscrew it.

AGD wouldn't (and doesn't) use loctite on the pt tip since it has an o-ring on it (that's what's holding it on so tight). Heating the tip wouldn't be a good idea for the o-ring would probably melt and create a mess.Comment

the powertube itself is welded onto the airchamber.... the brass tip of the power tube comes off all you need is a nickel and lately a wrencd to grab the nickel with for extra leverage....Originally posted by Yanto90986

if you look at the top right of the tip in this pic you should see the makings of a groove on the side you cant really see.... thats the slot the nickel goes intoVirus, King of the Basement Trollz has spoken

Put in the nickle (if you have an old sear that will fit even better, don't use a new one cause it will probably get bent or otherwise messed up a bit) hold the valve in your hand, and grab the coin with pliers and turn it. That should get it out. You could also try putting the coin in a vice and then putting the valve on it and twisting. I wouldn't put the valve in the vice if I were you though
