leak down barrel

[jah871]

my gun works just fine but when i pull the trigger a little it will leak down the barrel. it is a constant leak not a "lawn srinkler leak". also when i continue to pull it it leaks more but when it fires it stops. any suggestions?

leak down barrel

you may need to clean your bolt and re-oil your on and off valve. do some massive clean like with an air hose or water then blow it out with an are hose and oil real good make sure all of the water is out

leak

you also might want to check all of your o-rings

i clean and oil it after everygame. there is some red specs on the bolt could that be the problem. anyways i just ordered a parts kit this should solve it.

Do you have a spacer kit in your mag? Because it sounds to me like what my mag pulled when I put too big a spacer in.

Also, if you've been messing around with the sear, it might do this if you have it insanly short. A good way to gauge is this is to take apart the gun after you've degassed it. If you can't pull the mainbody out easily because the on/off is falling out, then the sear setting is WAYYYY to short.

[jah871]

i have never messed with the sear and i have the stock spacer tip on it

[freakyt]

Could be something with the trigger too. The trigger could always be putting pressure on the sear pin. Is it free? Is there a little room between the trigger and the pin?

[jah871]

ya it is free. there is ome room between them

It is probably your powertube that is causing it to leak.

To fix your problem, install a spacer one size shorter (.005") than the one you have in the valve right now. I'll bet you have a .230 or .225 in the valve right now. Try a .220 and it won't leak.

[jah871]

so i should buy a spacer kit and install one on it? cuz i dont have a powertube spacer kit.

Mine will do this when the tank is low. Checked it?

Depending how old the mag is. If it was a older mag that used to have the c-clip holding the power tube assembly on I think level 5???. That was upgraded buy sealing it (not sure if but probubly saudering) some times they got small hairline cracks and leak. If its a standard level 7 not a upgraded older mag it hase to be the powertube o-ring.

[jah871]

its a level 7 mag and Army mine does it no matter how much is in the tank.

[freakyt]

BlackVCG is right. Your gun came with a .225 spacer (it will say on it.) Since it is stock, you can probably gripe to agd about it and they will probably send you a .220, or even a spacer kit for free.
