I just recently bought a level 10 kit/bolt whatever u want to call it for my micromag RT. and since I installed it I have been having leaking problems, ait is leaking out of the barrel, out of the top hole in the valve and out of the adjustment screw. When I first got it it leaked and would not fire, so I had to crank up the velocity to make it even somewhat fire, its not reactive anymore (i think because of the extreme air loss) and it will actually shoot every other shot, but if u pull the trigger fast it will fire most of the times, but is still not reactive. My gun didnt leak at all before I got the level 10. I can stop the leaking somewhat if i turn the velocity pretty far down, but it doesnt shoot, when you pull the trigger it just kind of hisses. My current set-up is a Micromag 2000 RT all stock just with the level 10 mod. The level 10 now has a #1.5 carrier in it, no shims, and the medium spring. What is wrong???

Finding the right carrier is what I find to be the hardest part. You need one w/ a little friction, to much and you will get bolt stick, not enough and it will leak. Have you tried it w/ any shims. Here are 2 links w/ some great info, the last one is a little long but has a ton of good info http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40904
