i'm new to mags and have recently purchased a rt classic off of ebay. i aired it up and there was a major leak out of the barrel. i replaced all the o-rings, used a ridiculous amount of oil and used a spacer kit. still same problem, leaks out the barrel but stops when the trigger is pulled. i had a guy with mag exprience take look at it and he couldn't figure it out either. so i was hopeing someone here had any ideas. thanks.



also i've talked to quite a few people about rt's and they've all said they can be very "particular" , might i suggest a sticky for rt help/questions

Leaks down barrel while trigger pulled?
--You have a leak in the on/off.

Leaks down barrel while trigger not pulled?
--You have a leak in the powertube.

Look in your powertube. Something is wrong there.

Make sure the trigger rod is not touching the back of the trigger when gassed up. Check the sear for wear and replace the mainspring if worn.
