Why did Tippmann put barrel porting that splatters paint inside the hand guard? Pulling this Pro Carbine apart, I went to unread the barrel and it slooowly slid out from the hand guard, coated in sticky decades-old paint. The picture doesn't do it justice, especially because I washed the barrel already, but that is about 1/4" thick goop all inside the guard. Based on the design, I'm assuming this is very typical.
