Ok, I had a leaky valve so I took apart the gun and cleaned and oiled everything. Now I have another problem, well it might be a problem. I noticed that there is alot of spray or mist coming out of the barrel when I shoot. I have a 47/3000 nitrogen tank. this is the first time in a while that this gun has been fired. I looked at all of the O-rings and they are in good shape. Basically I am wondering if this should be happening, or is there something that I can do to fix this.
Anyway sorry for the newbie questions but I am not getting any help from the forum at my local field, they are telling me to get a new gun, i.e. mags = trash.
So, yeah, any help you can offer would be great.
thanks,

so, it shoots like you're running on C02?

hmm, this one's weird.
look in your barrel, see if there's any oil residue.
if you notice a lot of oil build-up,
then it could be your valve getting rid of excess oil.

No oil in the barrel, clean as a whistle.
I took about 30 shots with out the barrel then went outside and shot abbout 50 rounds.
It seems to be OK. but I cannot recall this much gas coming from the barrel, alothough I did watch a demo video of an angel speed, G7, and shocker and they had just as much if no more mist than me.

Also, this may be a problem, on my old mag when I decided to use nitrogen the paintball shop that did my steel lines also routed the line from the ASA directly to the vlavle. The dude there said that I shouldnt run nitrogen thru a gas thru. Is this true? and could this cause excessive mist.

Also, it seems I am wasting alot of gas as well, I took about 80 - 100 shots and I went from 3000 down to about 2100. I dont think that is normal.

Anyway, thanks for the help, if there is anything else that I can try please let me know.

thanks.

I cleaned and re-lubed everything again today, I went and filled up the nitro tank and this time I got about 200 shots on a full 47/3000 fill. What the hell is wrong with this gun. It leaks and it wastes gas. whats going on here???

p.s. Is there a walk thru on how to clean and how to lube the parts as well as what parts need to lubed and how much. I am going crazy ...
