Brother gave my his TES. Leaks like a sob, from the screw holding on the front drop. I read some threads about a shocktech tube, shipping from shocktech for the tube is $20, freaking ripp off!

I have any other options to get this fixed? Different front block? Or is that the only way to go?

i think the hole is open, so try some teflon on threads, or even some loctite, not red loctite tho. i cant remmber if there is a gasket or seal under screwhead

on spyders the block has a closed hole so no leaks, on TES its right through

I purchased the T.E.S tube from shocktech, pretty sure that fixed the leak with the front block. Now I can hear a new leak, I can hear it out the barrel and hopper. Where do I start?

Sorry a paintball newb here.

out the barrell is usually the poppet or valve/cup seal

im thinking it should be same as a spyder(been a while since i pulled a tes apart), you can sand the cupseal and or the valve face, with like 1000 grit

if a tes valve is curved then you cant.

like i said cant remmber what the valve looks like

Is the cup seal supposed to screw onto the shaft? I noticed when I took my front block off the spring, cup seal and shaft just fell out.

on spiders anyways and timmy poppets the cup seal screws onto the shaft, if yours was coming loose, it would leak, any pics to post up?

you can also PM me on here if ya need help

I had the same problem I just ended up rethreading the hole a little bit bigger and add some teflon and bingo no more leaks
