i just bought a used micromag,the guy oiled it and shot it a bunch before he sent it,when i air it up and shoot a few times,it makes the sound like when it cocks,then it leaks down the barrel,then stopes when i fire some more,the guy that sold it to me never had these problems,when i oiled the on/off pin it seemed to get better,now it does it about every 15 to 20 shots,please help.im using co2,and when i tested it i had the gun pointed up so there was no liquid in it,the last owner used hpa religiously.i also just put on a new gasline from the valve to the bottomline adapter,it barely fits and that might be constricting airflow,i have no idea...

Is it an RT type valve? They don't tolerate co2.

no,its just a standard a.i.r valve,and the guy just replaced the reg seat a few months back too.

No Expansion chamber? If you use Co2 you might want to. I have seen shoot down on any Mag, on the Juice, without an X-chamber. Also I am not sure about Micromag's but on other Mags the stock air hose has a filter to prevent dirt from entering the valve. Co2 is very dirty. It also couldn't hurt to replace the O-rings in your valve since it is used.
