Evil Pipe Front Broke?!?!

[Phobos]

So I was cleaning my marker after playing this weekend and I noticed something wrong my my front. On all four sides where the little vents are up front 9 out of 12 of the little bridges of metal between the holes have broken apart and the front part of the barrel is bulged out slightly.

I will try to get some pics up.

Has any one else had this happen to them?

I wonder if I can get a new one.

I guess my super Emag is too much for Evil products.

I've heard of the threads getting stripped and damaged easily on Empire kits, but never Pipes. Is that the problem? The threads got destroyed?

Believe it or not, the tips breaking on the Evil barrels is actually a common occurance.

I have never owned a Pipe kit, so this is all off of what I have heard and seen, not experienced.

A) Not an uncommon problem - it happens frequently
B) EVIL has good customer service, call them and they will find a solution you will be happy with - rumor is it is sending you an "updated" stronger tip.
C) No big deal.

Seen it happen before. Call up evil to get it replaced.

Happened to all three of my Pipe Kits. Call Evil. They are very nice and they'll send you a new tip. As Lohman said, you may get the new "Ultra Tip". Basically there was just extra metal left on the tip so the porting won't crack.

everyone hit the nail on the head.... it has happened before but evil rocks, and they will replace it.

Yup, thats it!

Pay a fortune for a piece of tubing, and it breaks.

Actually, from a structural standpoint it's hardly surprising seeing how close those holes are.

So true, the new tip I recieved had a different spacing.
They made the hole spacing larger and the angle they are drilled at is new as well.

But still once you get an RA # from the "talking monkey" it was handled fast and very professionally.
