My Rt automag is leaking. The air is rapidly coming out where the balls should be feeding in. I am using nitrogen. No level ten. Any help would be apreiciated. Thanks.

check your o rings and make sure your bolt spring isnt old or rusty or messed up. also make sure that your tank is full because if it isnt it wont have enough pressure to push the bolt forward, so it will stay half-cocked and leak

Its not a small leak, it just goes straight through my gun. The trigger doesnt do anything now. its probly my fault, but i dont know how to fix it. I had a full tank, but it drained it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Sounds like you had the wrong spacer in the powertube and it just leaked out. What size spacer are you running?

Yeah, well i kinda just got my automag and have no idea what a spacer is, or what it does. If i knew what kind, i would change it. Can u just tell me what it is. Its probly something that simple.

Best bet is to buy an RT parts kit and replace all the seals and seats. That way at least you know all the seals are 100% and you can start diagnosing without guessing.

If you pull the trigger and the leak stops, then it's likely a power-tube issue. If the trigger rod behind the trigger isn't protruding when the gun is gassed up, then it's most likely an on/off issue.

The Powertube Spacer sits inside the powertube on the valve assembly. It's basically a little brass ring with a # etched onto the side of it.

My advice right now is to watch the video that came with the gun (Or order one from http://store.airgun.com )It'll show you exactly how to tech your gun.
