Looking for some help - unboxed my pneumag after far to long (moved, didn't unbox it, haven't played in 2 years).
I was planning on selling it, since I apparently never play any more, and I wanted to make sure everything was in order.
I oiled it up, gassed it up, and it fired, but had a bit of a leak through the barrel and around the valve. I took it apart to clean and oil, and replaced a couple of o-rings. Reassembled, gassed it up, crazy leak from the valve, so I adjusted the velocity downward until it stopped leaking. When I pull the trigger, I just get a weak "thup thup thup" (one for each trigger pull) like it's trying to fire, and has very low air pressure.
I verified that the pneumatics are working properly - adjusted and tuned that portion - it's somewhere in the valve/powertube/bolt setup. It's a level 10 bolt, emag valve. It's been far too long, so I'm not really up to snuff on my mag skills anymore (not that I was ever that great to begin with).
I pulled the carrier and cleaned it, re-oiled the o-ring, made sure the space was in good condition. O-rings on the valve look good, replaced the on/off lower o-ring. Not really sure what else to do/check. It doesn't leak unless I pull and hold the trigger. Sometimes the bolt sticks and air continues to leak (slowly), and just barely touching the bolt will push it back and stop the leak.
Need some guru level help here, feel like I'm losing my mind. I want this bad boy cleaned up and working well... then I'll take it out for a day, and decide if I still want to sell it.
