    Need some help

    So i havent played in 3 years,bought a house & was broke..Have money again now so i want to get back into the sport,took the mag off the wall & gassed it up only to find out im having a few problems with it now...its been so long i dont really remember anything tech-wise.
    Its a micromag w/ a retro valve & lv10
    I gassed it up & it shot fine a few times but then the trigger would not reset.
    If i pushed on the bolt face it would reset,but not fire.
    So i played with the spacers,shims & springs...it worked again for a few shots,but now the trigger does not reset again & leaks air down the barrel now after the trigger pull.
    One thing i noticed is the on/off pin seems to be getting stuck up in the top o-ring...but i dont remember if that is normal or not.
    Any advise on what my problem could be?

    you might need to use a shorter spring. If you have a red spring try that and then make sure that the carrier that you are using is the right one. just play with those. The level ten will be working at its best when shooting 270 and going up to 290.

        Hrm.

        After you reset the bolt, it should be able to fire.

        Add oil to the ASA before gassing up. Remove the barrel, gas up, fire 10 shots. This will distribute oil throughout the internals.

        Low velocity and dried out o-rings could create the symptoms you have described.

        Oil and raise velocity and report back.

            I had similar problems after letting my mag sit for 2 years. I cleaned the bolt thouroughly and then oiled the power tube (inside and out) and spring area of the bolt, cleaned it right up.

                I just measured the on/off pin and its .740 Is this pin too short for the retro valve? Could this be the problem?

                  Nope. That by itself can't be the cause. Just make sure that when gassed up with the safety on that there is a tiny gap (1/16") between the trigger rod and the back of the trigger.

                      Tried 3 new on/off top o-rings to try & stop the barrel leak...none worked. Then i noticed theres a few burrs or chips where the top oring sits. Have i finnaly found my problem?
