just bought a gun and it leaks. this is what it does. I aired it up and started to shoot a couple of round and now it leaks. I then turn off the air and it stops to leak for a little then when i go to shoot again it leaks after a couple of minutes. do you know why it is doing this

sorry kinda new to automags. it seems like it is leaking out of the front of the bolt. I can here air coming from the powerfeed and inside it. It will shoot acouple of minutes, but then when i shoot some more or really fast it burps then expells air. I then shut the air off for a little bit and turn it back on and it works for a little bit then it does it again. thanks for the help

Ok. Gas it up and stick your finger into the breech. Put your finger up against the bolt and wiggle it around. If the leak changes tone at all, you are dealing with a carrier issue. My first guess is that you put the level 10 together and the oring is now breaking in and you have to move down a half size on the carrier.

Let me know your results.

I can't tell if the tone changes. I put in a smaller spring on it. it fires fine for awhile but then it seems like when i short stroke it it starts to hiss and leak out all the air. what should i do?
