    RT Mag ???? new to RT's

    I have a RT mag that I got from a local pawn shop and it is in prestine condition and it has some leaks, must not of been used for many years.. I would like to make it shoot again and maybe install a Level 10 bolt assembly. Can anyone give any help or is there someone who tech's RT's for a nominal fee???

    Thanks

      Where is it leaking from? Usually, just adding oil will fix it.

          Throw some tool oil or o-ring safe oil into the ASA and air it back up. Shoot a few times and see what happens. You might need to do this twice if it has been sitting around a while.

          If it doesn't work there are guides to figure out how to fix the leaks. You would need to know if it is leaking down the barrel, out the velocity adjuster, etc. Knowing that will point you to the right set of o-rings to replace.

              Nice!

              There is always Tuna at Tunamart.com. You need to check with him before you dump a marker on him though.

              You may want to post your city or your playing area and see if anyone would be around to put a kit in for you.

              Really old mags that have had autolube in them and maybe sat in the attic for 10 years can work with some oil for a few days of play, but the o-rings are hard and start to leak soon. I did that test. Other than that, they work great.

                  Ya. That's another thing. The automag lube after a long while will dry up and turn into this green sticky crud. Best bet is to tear the valve down and clean everything out. I been using TriFlow to alleviate that problem.

                      thanks for the all the replies that has been very informative. I will try the lube tonight and give an update later. What upgrade should I do to this marker if I decide to keep it. Hate to give it up since it is in perfect condition.

                          Lvl 10 bolt should be your #1 purchase.

                              Other than that and the level 10, there's not a lot to be done with a classic RT. Feed it with a good high pressure air tank like a crossfire or a ninja and a fast loader, and many cases of paint.

                                  I don't know if it's just me but I never had a problem with the old plugs and a force feed hopper. Am I the only one? I did have issues every once in a while with my revy but it wasn't detrimental. I still have some old plugs on a few of my classics but with a normal halo. No issues at all.

                                      The Halo hoppers probably have enough force to push the ball past a jam caused by the parabolic plug.
                                      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                                          My revy was terrible with the old plug. The new plug works great with a plain hopper. I also ran for a while with the new plug in an X-valve setup (with a B2) that would get me in trouble for doing 19 bps continuously. For a body that wouldn't drop three balls in a row before, it slicked up a lot.

                                          I played with the old plug for a few of years and thought it was just bad paint; never mind it always chopped when I got in a hurry.
