Why am I leaking

[Sniper2002]

Ok! here is my problem I had bought a classic mag a while ago. It has always shot wonderfully on co2, I had just recently traded in my co2 for nitro. As soon as I put the bottle on air started to come out of the barrel at an alarming rate. I have a thumb velocity screw on the back of the gun and when I turn it down the air slows down leaking but it still hisses. I am at a loss to know what to do. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Replace all the orings, they're probably used to the co2 so they won't seal right with the nitro (i think anyways..).

Good luck! LMK what happens

u made need to push the bolt back with a squeege or woodwn rod while gasing up i know this is a prob on RT but im not sure if the sae applies to Classics it could also be the o-rings as sniper said

yes push the bolt back while gassing up. My mag had that problem. I then got a flatline air system and fixed the problem prolly 90% of the time.

Hold the trigger back when you gas up.

Well I took your guys advice about holding the trigger and pushing the bolt in but she still is leaking. Is it possible that i should put a different regulator on the gun, the one I have on it now doesn't even have a gauge. I really appreciate you guys taking you time to help me with my gun. Once again suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks

not sure about the regulator but hae u lookedt the sear and bolt to make sure neither is chiped or worn down

[TransMan]

oh and did u try replacing the o-rings like junkie said it could be that and have u contacted any of the techguys at airgun there are very helpful

[BlackVCG]

What kind of nitro tank do you have on the gun? Have you tried replacing the PT spacer with a shorter one or replace the PT o-ring?

[Steve Crush]

if the bolt being pushed back didn't work i am thinking with black here, the spacer,or oring.

Leaking down the barrel has occured with me be for. I watched tha automag video and it says to change the power tube oring. The reason why it maybe leaking so bad is that the oring might not be there.
