Parts

[cruzer]

Hello.. .I just picked up a BBT and I am wondering where is a good place to get replacement parts as well as what kinda of upgrades can I use with this gun. What would be a good aftermarket barrel for it?

Thanks for the help in advance. :)

Some parts are somewhat compatible with the bushy. You should go to have Blue's site www.air-soldier.com.
As far as upgrades.....the sonic LPR and Red Valve by Mac Dev are nice upgrades. Pricey though and not worth the money IMO. You may want to check your ball detent to make sure it sticks into the chamber far enough, some tribals have crappy detents on them. If you have a bad one....you can get one of those from Mac Dev too...or use a bushy detent.
As far as barrels......most barrels shoot pretty much the same....you just need one that fits the paint you're using. The tribal takes cocker barrels so they're easy to find.

btw, if you get the sonic lpr and red valve, consider getting a better reg. the stock reg really can't keep up and i experience some major shootdown with it
(or maybe becuase i only had 500 psi left in the tank)
(or maybe its my PE tank. who knows)

Ya, mac dev suggests you use a better reg with their sonic LPR as well(their reg of course). I have no opinion on this matter as I've never tried the Sonic. I have a good old unireg kicking around anyway should I decide to change.
Having only 500psi left in your tank will cause a bit of shootdown..as it takes longer for your reg to charge up. And the PE tank certainly doesn help....I find most cheap presets like that don't have a lot of flow. I'm using my 4500 apoc on mine which works sweet now.....but like I said with the sonic it may not. Maybe some other people will have some input.

There aren't terribly many parts that are interchangeable between the Tribal and Bushy - the solenoid valve is really about it, though some have had limited success with using Bushy bolts in Tribals.

Best upgrade is the Sonic LPR, I think - much much easier to adjust LPR pressure, keeps more consistent pressure, and even gives you a low pressure chamber to boot. Beyond that, get an aftermarket reg or chamfer te bottom of the reg seat in the stock one to keep it from galling and binding.

Haven't tried the RED valve yet, but it seems a bit pricey - I'm sticking with shaving down the stock valve stem for now...

Ball detents - a customer sent in a Tribal with one of the MacDev ball detents, and I LOVE the thing - uses a hex wrench to install, looks far better than the stock one, and uses a delrin ball, so it won't scrape the heck out of your bolt. Speaking of bolts, Rob Hernandez is doing Tribal bolts, but I haven't yet had a chance to order mine. They're a bit pricey, but considering that they're crafted one at a time on manual equipment to your specs, it's well worth it - http://www.geocities.com/dezignbolts/
