Ok I was at the field this weekend and I was getting all my stuff ready. I gased up my gun before I put any paint in it because I always like making sure it is firing properly.
Gun Specs: 68 automag with retro valve, .215 spacer, I believe .745 on/off pin, Intelli frame with a little space between trigger rod and the trigger(never adjusted it), warp feed intelli linked, pmi pure energy preset 68cu 3000psi steel tank
Well it wasn't firing properly. Every time I placed my finger on the trigger I would get a very inconsistent leak down the barrel. For the life of me I could not figure out what o-ring it was. I changed alot of them: all 3 in the on/off , reg seat, and power tube. it was still giving me a little piss sound before the trigger was completely pressed. I changed to a longer spacer(.220) because I already had the .215 spacer in and I wanted to try anything. Well it just got worse when I did that. So I changed back to the .215 Then my friend told me to change my bolt with the one he had. So I said why not. so I went from this, what I believed was a long nose bolt to a bolt that had a shorter outside covring but the nose or venturi piece extened over the outside covering(short or long nose someone please clarify the difference for me). I will show pictures. anyway after I changed to this new bolt my leak stopped and the gun worked perfectly.:confused: ???????? I had no idea that the bolt could make the gun leak. If you people could shed a little insight that would be nice. I want to know what would causeed this. The bolt that made the valve leak was the bolt I got stock w/ my retro valve.
