Automag air leak

[sureshot1216]

Hey I have an automag with a regular 68 classic valve, and I'm having some troubles. I have an anti siphon on my co2 tank, and a remote, so there should be no liquid getting in the gun, heres the problem---when the guns gassed up, but just sitting there, it builds up pressure, then it leaks out the velocity adjusting hole. if I shoot the gun, it releases the pressure and it stops leaking until it builds up again. SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

The gun building up pressure until it releases out the back is a sure sign of a leaking/bad regulator seat o-ring.

You shouldn't use an anti-syphon with a remote setup. The anti-syphon tube can act like a straw and actually suck up liquid CO2 when used in a vertical bottle. You should use an anti-syphon in a bottle that is properly aligned for your gun or you use just a vertical bottle with a remote. Both can be/should be used with an expansion chamber when using CO2.
