Well I just got a automag yesterday and gased it up. Well it ran amazingly smooth for around 30-40 shots then the sear didn't return to it's normal position thus making the gun unable to shoot. So, I took it apart and fixed the sear and when I gased it up again it was leaking through the asa or expansion chamber elbows and I can't figure out what the problem is. Can someone help me?

sounds like you need to put some locktite(the blue NOT the red. RED locktite is the devil!! remember that always!)or some teflon tape on the asa threads to keep them from leaking.

Or you could just use teflon tape, that's probably more convenient than finding loctite...unless you already have some.

You cant just say blue or red...there are many different loctites. Loctite is a company that makes different kind of glues, some of which are impossible to get apart once they harden...you dont want that. I use A red loctite, sorry cant remember the number of it, and it works fine. There are other kinds that will screw everything up. If you want to I can find out the number to the loctite I'm using.
