Restore air efficiency, eliminate annoying barrel leaks, and improve shot consistency with the METHOD Performance Poppet for Empire Axe, Empire Mini, and TM-series paintball markers. This aftermarket poppet upgrade is built to solve one of the most common issues on Axe and Mini platforms: worn or inconsistent poppet sealing that leads to barrel leaks, air loss, and uneven performance. Unlike many factory poppets that rely on proprietary or hard-to-find seals, the METHOD Performance Poppet is designed to use standard, off-the-shelf O-rings. That means faster service, easier sourcing, and simpler maintenance whether you are working at home or doing quick repairs at the field. The poppet body is machined from a high-grade bronze alloy chosen for durability and dependable sealing over long-term use. An X-Ring skirt seal helps stabilize sealing through the firing cycle, while a 90-durometer O-ring valve seal provides a firm, consistent shutoff to reduce leaks and support more efficient, repeatable performance.
