I haven't been able to play for the last several weeks. I haven't really touched any of my gear in that long, its been sitting in the closet. Got my mag out to go play with it in a mechanical/semi game at our home field. Anticipating a bit of bolt stick I went ahead and lubed the powertube and bolt, the on/off assy, and a few drops down the inlet. I tried to shoot her a few times at home on a tank w/ about 1k. It wouldn't fire, but I figured no big deal...it will be fine at the field.
I get there, air it up, and immediatly I get a large bolt tip leak. The tank is empty in seconds. After investigating I find nothing wrong, except that I have to completly reconfigure the LX for the marker to even operate. I got it working w/o leaking, but it was nothing near tuned and chopped all day. Later my tanks reg seat began to leak, an ongoing issue, so once again I had to break out another marker.
I just got home, put back in the original and well tuned LX configuration and the marker works fine. No leaks at all. :confused:
This is the fourth time in a row that I have had issues with this marker at the field, after working flawlessly at home. Missed playing in the CFOA with it due to LX issues and the adj. tanks reg seat popping out of place at 1100PSI. The next time at the field it got really inconsistant, found tape inside the valve. The third I broke a ball detent, and then this. I am seriouly beginning to wonder if I am ever meant to play with this marker....
