leaking Level 10/x-valve

[Panda]

Hi guys, I'm still a noob with mags, so please bare with me. I recently bought a new ULE body, intellifram and x-valve. However, even after dropping to carrier 0 I still get air leaking down the barrel. I've tried changing the o-rings but this hasn't made any difference. Anyone got any ideas what's causing the problem/how to fix it?

Thanks guys,

Panda

Just to make sure, 0 carrier is no rings and no dots, and you did put the level ten powertube tip on and backing washer right? Other than that it seems to me like alot of people are having to use really small carriers lately, it makes me wonder if something is off w/ the bolts or o-rings?

yep - no rings and no dots. as far as I can see everything else looks right. any more suggestions?

Have you removed all the shims from your setup? If not, do it.

[Panda]

yeh, tried that and it still leaks. Any more suggestions?

Make sure you use a good a mount of lubrication on the bolt stem when breaking in the level 10 o-rings.

Panda, you aren't the only one. Me and a few others have the exact same problem. I have tried everything: New o-rings, new carriers, shims, springs, and none of them do anything. I'm just about to give up on level 10 entirely.

I was leaking down my barrel with the level 10. If I would stick my finger into the breach and push the bolt back it would stop. I changed all seals in the marker, with no success. I then found on the forum to try to remove all shims from the level 10. That fixed the problem, NO MORE LEAKING DOWN THE BARREL.
