PENDING UPDATE
Picture will be updated to show more variants and Siphon Tank parts as well as updated part details that I will update when possible. As for availability and price, these were last checked Oct of 2014.
Model 68-SPECIAL Parts List
 |
This is the last revision of the 68-Special design. I included the original release as well. Too many parts to include conversions. The initial release was very much like the one shown in the manual. With improvements on the fly, and upgrades on older versions retaining the previous serial number, a definite tie of version to serial number is not possible. Despite all changes, if your marker has part #02 (Front Upper Receiver Casting), then you have a 68 Special regardless of what the nameplate says. Note that Milky Urethane o-rings have a 5 year shelf life and Buna o-rings have a 15 year shelf life. The 68-Special is over 20 years old. Change your o-rings...

68SP49 - Tippmann ID: 7 oz Siphon Tank Stock, 20 oz Siphon Tank Available and recommended
Tippmann part : Replacement: parts salvage only (Unless damaged, the 7 oz tanks do not require
hydro-testing. The 20 oz does require testing every 5 years. Inspect and/or repair siphon tubes at this
time.)
Do you have a siphon tank? Hold the tank near the valve and swing it back and forth like a bell. If you hear something swinging and clanking inside, its a siphon tank. If it sounds like something rolling around, then the weight or tube is loose and must be repaired before use. Siphon tanks should be clearly marked with the word "SIPHON TANK". Using a siphon tank on a non-siphon marker can damage or destroy the marker.
Replacement Siphon tanks can be built. Watch for my future Blog. (Read Warning)
Warning - Modifications to CO2 tanks Should be completed by a Certified Airsmith for Safety
and Liability reasons. Improper valve assembly can fail or come apart creating life threatening conditions.

008 B70 Buna-N 70 O-ring Model: B70008 $0.06 ea
Note on O-rings: O-rings hardness is affected by temperature. The colder it is, the harder the material. For example- On the rear bolt seal Duro 90 would be optimal. Shore "A" scale is used on these o-rings. For use in colder climate, softer o-rings may be in order. A temperature vs hardness scale may helpful when selecting. There may likewise be an optimal hardness for Summer and Winter or Northern and Southern states. Factory levels are good starting points but environmental conditions will be the deciding factor. The usage chart in the TIL may be compared to the hardness characteristic chart to establish optimum selection. The up side is if you buy direct you can get the BEST for a fraction of the price for the mystery ring kits others are selling. Also if a vendor changes the Duro hardness between orders, You may not be told. This makes marker firing discrepancies and leaks hard to track and remedy.

68SP49 - Tippmann ID: 7 oz Siphon Tank Stock, 20 oz Siphon Tank Available and recommended
Tippmann part : Replacement: parts salvage only (Unless damaged, the 7 oz tanks do not require
hydro-testing. The 20 oz does require testing every 5 years. Inspect and/or repair siphon tubes at this
time.)
Do you have a siphon tank? Hold the tank near the valve and swing it back and forth like a bell. If you hear something swinging and clanking inside, its a siphon tank. If it sounds like something rolling around, then the weight or tube is loose and must be repaired before use. Siphon tanks should be clearly marked with the word "SIPHON TANK". Using a siphon tank on a non-siphon marker can damage or destroy the marker.
Replacement Siphon tanks can be built. Watch for my future Blog. (Read Warning)
Warning - Modifications to CO2 tanks Should be completed by a Certified Airsmith for Safety
and Liability reasons. Improper valve assembly can fail or come apart creating life threatening conditions.

008 B70 Buna-N 70 O-ring Model: B70008 $0.06 ea
Note on O-rings: O-rings hardness is affected by temperature. The colder it is, the harder the material. For example- On the rear bolt seal Duro 90 would be optimal. Shore "A" scale is used on these o-rings. For use in colder climate, softer o-rings may be in order. A temperature vs hardness scale may helpful when selecting. There may likewise be an optimal hardness for Summer and Winter or Northern and Southern states. Factory levels are good starting points but environmental conditions will be the deciding factor. The usage chart in the TIL may be compared to the hardness characteristic chart to establish optimum selection. The up side is if you buy direct you can get the BEST for a fraction of the price for the mystery ring kits others are selling. Also if a vendor changes the Duro hardness between orders, You may not be told. This makes marker firing discrepancies and leaks hard to track and remedy.
