alright. so i just got a minimag recently. basically all stock except for a powerlyte trigger frame. when i aired it up to dry fire it, it started leaking air out from betweeen the 2 valve halves. so i tightened them together a little bit, and it stopped. then i aired it up again and this time i was getting a massive leak going out the barrel. when i pulled the trigger the gun fired and the leak stopped, but when i released the trigger the leak continued. i tryed oiling almost every hole i could see. could someone please tell me whats up with this? thanks!

Power tube o-ring needs to be replaced.Comment

If I where in your shoes I would get a rebuild/parts kit from AGD and replace all of the o-rings. They are around $20 IIRC and well worth it considering you will be replacing one set of o-rings after another until you have replaced them all.
Don't let it scare you, you have a really durable, highly reliable marker there but it sounds like you have 15 year old o-rings.Comment

Replace the power tube o-ring, put 3 drops of oil in the ASA, remove barrel, gas up, fire 20 shots, replace barrel, done.Comment

which one is the power tube oring? is it that big blue one? because when i took everything apart it looked a little worn. where is the power tube oring?Comment

slide off the bolt.
grab a nickel and use that to unscrew the tip...your o-ring is in there "powertube"
also pull out your on/off and check orings and oil it upComment

well i checked it out yesterday, and it looks like the oring is fine. what about the power tube spacer? i went on the agd website and looked at the exploded view of the valve, and it said to use a shorter spacer if the gun is leaking down the barrel. and this isnt just a little his, i might as well just screw my tank into an asa with no macroline coming out of it. it stops when i hold the trigger down though, but once i release the trigger, the leak starts againComment

Looks can be deceiving. Replace the ring. Also, make sure the rail bushing is in place, that will cause a barrel leak if that isn't there.Comment
