Lots of air down the barrel!

[TnDeathInc]

Okay this is really weird but here is something that recently happened.

Bought another mag a few months back. Leaked down the barrel, np adjust level 10, just right fitting, still leaks down the barrel. Rebuild the whole thing for the heck of it. Leaks down the barrel. Use a whole two tanks of scube, leaks down the barrel, pull trigger it stops like before.

Get mad put it down a while. I get a red x in the mail. Put it in that gun, leaks down the barrel pull the trigger and it stops. I am insane now. I change oring. same effect. I take the red x place it in my other mag. Works perfect. Try another mag, again perfect. Look at the black x that is the bane of my life. Put it in mag #2 works fine, mag #3 and so on through all 7 of my mags. So its not the oring. The vavles do not sit right on the rail that was reannoned and it looks like the pin that slides and locks into place, the hole it goes into is whollowed out. So i take the black x, put it in the frame i thinks busted tighten it up and push forward on the vavle to close the very small gap. works like a champ. Do the same with the red x, pus it really hard to hold it in place pull the trigger.....whammo perfect. So for curiosity, I take another x valve out of my rt pro, guess what it leaks....when i push and hold it forward no leak, aint that a

I do have a new rail.... Alpha Rail....when i did first get it I was having some problems, but they went away after moving the rail, body, trigger frame, ect around...

There is a gap between the valve and ULE body... maybe thats it..... anyway to fix it without just pushing it forward??

Sounds to me like the the bolt is not catching the sear. (Not cocked) Try cocking it manually. Remove the barrel, gas up the gun, then quickly push on the face of the bolt before you lose all your air...

I tried.. but couldn't push it back

Did you check the rail bushing or the sear ? also does your valve have the zlock pin installed ? it sounds like either something is missing or way misaligned.

rail bushin yes

I see you have a new rail ... if you have your old rail try using it instead to see if that solves your problem. Do you know anyone around you that has a mag so that you can put your valve on his gun just to see if this is a valve problem or something thing else ....

Nope... I even tried the valve in another working mag setup and it didn't work. Could it be the trigger rod length?

I added and subtracted shims still nothing also..

[Coralis]

hmmm i was focusing on the rail/sear because both of the valve you tried didnt work but now your saying that the valves dont work on a working mag set leads me back to the valve .... do you have the backing washer in the level 10 installed ? what about your bolt spring is it new/old ?

Is the lip on your bolt wore?
