Slight problem with lvl 7

[jade_monkey07]

Hey everyone, i was out this weekend and playing with my soon to be gforce mag. it currently has a minimag valve with rt on/off lvl 7. shoots great, but once in a while the sear will not reset properly. the only way to get it back into place is to degas and air it up again. this isnt much of a problem cause it takes half a second to turn off the cp on/off and back on. but i would like to get this fixed up before i add any pnuematics.
oiled well everyday out
brand new orings throughout valve

Second issue is with the lvl 10 that i had in it before. i took it out cause i couldnt solve the problem.

this one is a bit odd.
it leaks lightly down the barrel, when i touch the trigger the leak stops. let go of the trigger it starts again.
iv tried a few combo's

classic on/off, lvl 10 - no leak
rt on/off, lvl 10 - leak
rt on/off, lvl 7 no leak
classic on/off, lvl 7 no leak
it only seems to happen with the lvl 10 and rt on/off
any ideas?

A little drunk right now, but it sounds like bolt stick. Longer spacer is needed.

When you lightly touch the trigger, the angled-back part of the sear slides down and pushes the bolt back like .002" before it releases.

Like any lvl 10 setup:
1. Use oil (LVL 10 = thirsty)
2. Don't use shims unless you encounter bolt stick after a LVL 10 vent (thanks athomas!)
3. Use the largest carrier that doesn't leak (sounds like you were using a .5 too large a carrier)
4. Beer.
5. ???
6. Pierogies.

I had this issue when installing the lvl 10 in my RT recently. I switched to one carrier smaller and it was fine - no leaks.

Always use the same broken-in o-ring in different carriers. Only use a new carrier o-ring when it wears out in 100,000 shots or so.

i did that. i only tried new orings to see if i could make it go away...doesnt seem to matter
either way, i think im sticking with the lvl 7 iv got a force fed hopper, chops wont be a problem

in that case would you like to sell your lvl 10?

I might be selling my spare parts as a partial mag, or picking up a body and selling it as a whole...the lvl 10 eill go with the retro valve on that
