    Pumpmag with level 10 X valve problems

    This is my first attempt at a pumpmag and im having some issues right now. Ive used the above search option to find a solution with no help so Im turning to you geniuses.

    Im having an issue when I air up the marker it airs up just fine, until I cock the gun, then air leaks down the barrel.

    I was wondering if someone else has managed to make a level 10 X valve work in a pumpmag, and if so what will I need to be able to make my current setup work for me?

    All of your insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    IIRC pump Mags can't use level 10 bolts. All 4 of mine have the Level 7 installed. Try changing the bolts and see what happens. It should work.

    By the way, what a beautifull gun you got there! Congrats!

      Most people use a level 7 bolt as the level 10 just introduces even more potential for problems.

      Why do you want to use a level 10? If the only reason is because that is what you have then it may be worth your effort to pick up a cheap level 7 bolt.

      If you must use a level 10 then you may want to try a tighter carrier. Maybe even trying more shims would help.

        Now since I am completely new to mags, would it be possible to get a picture of a level 7 and a level 10 side by side?

              not really. Once you have what you need it only takes a few minutes.

              You will have to go through just as much to put a smaller carrier in your level 10.

                lvl 10 will work just needs tuning so it doesnt leak down the barrel when uncocked

                  Thank you for all your help. I was able to switch the level 10 to a level 7 and keep the x valve. It works flawless now thanks to your help.

                  Once again, thanks guys.
