    Need Help Leaking CO2

    I just took my gun apart after using for a couple of games this weekend. I cleaned and oiled it. I hooked a new CO2 bottle to it and it was leaking out of the velocity adjuster and down there barrel( i think). I didn't take apart the valve . I used compress air this weekend and had no problems. Please help. Can the gun leak from switching between Air and CO2.

    In a word, yes.

    Was your CO2 routed through an expansion chamber and/or remote line? If not, liquid could have gotten into the valve and messed with the o-rings, causing the leak. I've had the same thing happen to me. I once ran out of HPA and decided to use a mostly empty CO2 bottle to tech some stuff, and everything started leaking and then freezing up. Once I got my HPA tank filled, everything ran perfectly again.
