Heh, well so much for selling the mag...
Heres my problem, hope someone here is very knowledgable of the old RT.
My rt is leaking out of a few places. It has the level 10 and ULT and the classic RT valve. First off, it appears to be leaking out of the banjo bolt and no matter what size o-rings I use I can't get it to stop w/o crimping an O-ring up between the body and rail. Secondly, it leaks randomly out of the piston regulator area. I can't get the velocity up to 280 and it bounces +/- 50 fps. Brings me to believe I have a bad regulator. On top of that the regulator is shooting out the oil, except it is all metallic looking. (it is coming from the pin hole in the side of the regulator. I don't believe my level 10 is the problem. I switched out to my level 7 and it shot more reliably, but only because I could turn the regulator out a bit.
Conclusion - I have a bad regulator piston/ rear section of the valve.
As for the banjo bolt..??? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? I am stumped here. This has to be the worst idea AGD has come up with... no offense to the guy who thought this part up, we all have blonde moments. Banjo bolt... *sigh*
So either I, A) buy an X valve and ULE body; B) Send this into AGD with a "fix it!" note; C) sell it on e-bay to some poor unknowing fool. <--- obviously a joke. So A or B people? I think if I go with B AGD will be replacing my rail, valve and banjo bolt. This is end up fairly expensive. Mr. Kaye, your opinion here would be held in high regards... As it was someone who Ok'd this damn idea :rofl: .
What will it be? A or B? Or opinions on something else to do...
