Tippmann Upgrades | Carver One Upgrades

The Tippmann Carver One is a newer addition to the Tippmann Family of paintball markers. Internally, it's very similar to the A5 and 98 Custom. When making the Carver One, Tippmann was going for a newer, more realistic looking marker. As with anything Tippmann, it's durable, and comes with a good company backing it.

Out of the box, the Carver One is an "OK" marker at best. It's not great, but it's OK. It shoots, but it's a loud marker, has some very noticeable kick, and it's stock barrel accuracy is not very good. The Carver One does not have an breech sensor / eye system, so chopping paintballs in the breech is totally possible, and fairly common if your loader doesn't keep up with your rate of fire. The stock barrel is a "one piece" or "straight bore" barrel that is.692" in bore size. A barrel that is .692 is WAY too big for most paint on the market. Sure, it will technically shoot the paint, but a lot of air is wasted, and goes around the ball. The ball can literally roll down the barrel with ease. Because of this loose paint to barrel fit, the groupings are all over the place and will be the cause of even more paintball breaking in the barrel.

To fix these very noticeable problems, we started by redesigning the bolt and hammer system. We improved every aspect of the firing cycle by doing this. Our main design goals were to make the bolt/hammer system lighter, more air efficient/accurate, and not chop paint. After years of development and refinement, we offer the following upgrades.

1. The Super Bolt - Anti-Chop Bolt System: The Super Bolt is spring assisted front bolt, designed to stop it's forward movement on partially loaded paintballs, and retract to allow the ball to fully load for the next shot, rather than just chop through the ball. The Super Bolt is also a full metal bolt, so its more durable than the stock bolt. the Super Bolt also has a ramped front lip, so it's less apt to clip the ball stack and cause a ball break in the breech. All in all, its a must have upgrade and will really help keep you in the game.

2. The Zero Kick Hammer - The Zero Kick Hammer is designed to be a lighter, harder, and more polished version of the stock hammer. By making it lighter, it means you have less moving mass inside the marker, that makes for less kick and recoil. This change helps you stay on target better, and makes one-shot-one-kill shots and long balling mush easier. The hammer is harder than the stock hammer, which will allow it to hold up longer and not require replacement especially if you like to fire faster than semi auto with a manual trigger. If you shoot with an e-trigger or RT trigger, you need this hammer. The Zero Kick Hammer is also hand polished, so it will move more easily and consistently in the marker. The you combine the lighter weight of the hammer and the polished finish, the result is tighter groupings and more kills. 

3. The iFIT Barrel Kit - The iFIT is a barrel kit that allows you to size the internal barrel size to the paintball, all while using the stock barrel. It's an adaptor system that screws together with the stock barrel and effectively makes it into a "two-piece" barrel. Two-piece barrels are much more accurate than one piece barrels. The iFIT uses sized inserts that go inside the adaptor. The inserts allow you to put a proper fit on your paintballs. Using the right size insert makes for much less wasted air traveling around the paintball. By using the iFIT with proper insert, you will get more shots per tank fill, and MUCH tighter groupings, and the gun will be quieter. The iFIT is also the most affordable barrel boring kit on the market, and works in conjunction with your existing barrel. The iFIT also has the widest range of possible bore sizes of any barrel boring kit. No matter what brand of paint you use, the iFIT will make sure you have maximum accuracy.

With all of our upgrades combined, the Carver One can go from just "OK", to a leader on the field! All of our products come with a Lifetime Warranty, and our tech support will help you solve any issues you might encounter along the way.
