    when i pull the trigger it stops leaking. it just leaks like there is no tomm. ive tried oil, but not too much. ive replaced all the o-rings i can get to. then it works for a little then just leaks. last fix lasted me about a case then it just started to leak again. i just dont know but it is for sale on the other message board.

    If the leak is down the barrel you might just need to put a tighter carrier on.

    If it isnt try the fix in the post above.

      ive tried tighter carriers. after we got it fixed like the fifth time we started playing with carrier sizes. i went from the largest to the smallest and found ones that work for a little then it leaks again. so i down size to tighter. the it will leak again. i tried watching the mag insruction video but i just cant stay awake long enough to get anything out of it.

          Did you remove all the powertube shims? Make sure you do that first. If it still leaks when you go to the next tighter carrier, go another step tighter.

          Check the sear for wear at the tip. If your sear is worn, you may not get it to stop leaking because the bolt will be sitting too far forward.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
