converted a clasic to pump, ( this problem has nothing to with it being a pump or not )when the bolt goes back it shoots a small burst of air out ( enough to push a ball past the detent spring )and ends up making the gun shoot two balls. The problem went away by putting two o rings in the power tube. any suggestions on how to make it right ( it has the intelli frame that should not matter ). Also, a freind of mine's power tube unscrewed from the main body, were do you get the o ring and I guess you loctite it when you put it together. This is the same as the other post were the power tube unscrewed from the valve body/ air chamber. His gun is a new gun.

I don't think it is possible for the power tube to unscrew from a new mag. Do you mean the power tube tip? The only mags that the power tubes are removable on are quite old and pretty rare to see around these days. I pretty sure that your problem can be fixed with a different sized spacer in your power tube. I think that a spacer kit can be purchased at the airgun online store.

Yep, they are around 12 dolars for a comlete set.

Happy to see another pump mag out there!

Hard to beleive, but it is on a new, about 6 month old classic where the whole power tube assembly unscrewed from the valve body. It has a real thin o ring that we can not find anywhere, (no one carries it and it is not in the kit). As we play every weekend, it is becoming a crisis because my freind has to use his other guns, not a happy camper. On my gun, I have not tired a different bumper/spacer ( for the small burst of air down the power tube), but will try. This is my back up pump as I already have a main pump, which is also a conversion. I love it and my other two budies have automag conversions, sweet. We are in the chicago land area and would not mind hooking up with other pump players.

I bought this mag to convert as spare pump. Last weekend I had trouble with bad paint, so to kill two stones with one bird, I put a lvl10 on it and also solved the leaking problem. It is getting cold outside you know what a mag can do to crumby paint when it is cold, even if it is a pump mag.

If your entire power tube unscrewed from the valve body, return it to AGD IMMEDIATELY!
