Ok, we are always saying don't change the o-ring you have used in LVL 10 carrier if you develop a leak from it - use the same one and go to a smaller size carrier.

Now what if you have the leak, but the next smallest carrier(smallest in kit), will not allow the valve to cycle? Even with velocity high enough for venting, gun did not shoot.

I have not had to mess with my LVL 10 setup for so long, then this leak down the barrel started. I can push back on the bolt and the leak will stop...this is o-ring and not a shim problem correct? Thanks!

Remove the shims first to determine what kind of leak you have...a carrier or a shim leak...

If you can push back on the bolt to stop the leak, it's a shim issue.

I don't have a single shim in any of my guns...

Yeah I am just the fiddle around person, so I added one more shim(total of three), and the leak is little to nothing. I really need to go back to 0 shims and go from there like Black said! Will do that once I have a little more air in my tank!
