    bolt leak?

    got a mag. it air up fine. then when i shoot it it shoots and leaks semi-badly out of the bolt face, unless i hold down the trigger, then it stops. what's causing it?

          well i know theres no foamie or place for one so i guess its a L7. it leaks pretty bad out the bolt face after a few shots unless the trigger is held down

            If its a level 7 bolt you need a power tube oring , if its a level 10 you need to go to a smaller carrier, or replace the oring in the carrier if you are using the smallest carrier.

              Hey everyone. Im the seller of said mag, and Im wondering what it is as well. Shot fine when it left, but obviously doesnt work now so Im wondering if I can just send an O-ring kit and thatll fix it or what?

              Also, I do know that since the air cuts when you hold the trigger, that means that the On/Off is working properly.

              Emo-I will PM you when we can figure out what it is. I have classes until 4.

                from what i've read, it could be the powertube o-ring but i just want to verify and need to get ahold of some o-rings for it

                  If it's a lvl 7 you are correct. Quick Oring change and you should be rocking.

                    Also be sure to use oil.

                    Remove barrel.
                    3-5 drops of oil in the ASA.
                    20 shots.
                    Done.

                          NO.
                          Use Autolube or a good air tool oil. Do NOT use Hoppe's 9!

                          Unrelated. Your leak was forward of the on/off, in the powertube. You need to spend 9:41 minutes watching the Tom Kaye troubleshooting video or else you will always be guessing as to what is wrong. Watch it. You'll understand your mag.

                            ok watched the video, pulled up the diagram for the classic valve. had 1 powertube o-ring that the guy i bought the on/off from threw in. Replaced the powertube o-ring. shot some air, no leaks, seems to run fine

                              If your looking for some excellent oil. Try out TriFlow (w/Teflon). I been running it for about 3-5 years now and love it.

                              I use it on everything actually. Best stuff ever. It is expensive but the stuff is worth it.
