Hey guys, first post here :)
Got an automag at the beginning of the year but haven't really played with it yet due to leaks. When I aired it up for the first time their was quite a bit of leaking down the barrel. I'd done my research and knew to put a drop or two of oil in the ASA and that definitely helped, there's a lot less leaking now, but the marker's still leaking. I read somewhere that if the leak stops when I hold down the trigger (which it does) then it's a problem with the power tube or bolt.
I took the marker apart and found that the carrier is stuck in firmly, really tight. Does this mean that the carrier being used is too large? A few others came with the marker so I can try those if I can get the current one out.
So first question: Is this the reason the marker's leaking?
If so, how do I get it out without damaging O-rings or the power tube inside?
More info: It's got the lvl 10 bolt and X-valve. I can show some pictures of the internals if anyone needs.
Can't wait to get this sorted and start playing with my Automag, thanks for any and all help!
