Ok i have an rt leaking down the barrel. no level 10. sounds like it should be an easy fix but i cant figure it out.

any help please?

Have you tried changing orings?

^^^Easiest thing to do.

If that doesn't fix it you probably have a PT spring spacer that worn out. I never tired it but a few have had success with re-stretching the spring out till they buy a PT spacer kit.

I've done the stretch fix before. Get two pairs of needle-nose pliers and pull like hell. It takes quite a bit of force to stretch that particular spring, and you'll probably bork it up pretty bad in the process.

But if it's shot you were gonna replace it anyway no big deal, right? It's a cheap part to replace.

I have no idea how long the fix would last in practice. I only shot another 3 or 4 pods that day, and I replaced it before I played again. No more leaks, though.

Does your barrel leak stop when you hold the trigger down? If not, your leak is actually in your on/off.

If it stops after pulling the trigger, most likely it's the powertube o-ring or spacer spring.

Thanks for all of the help. And yes when i hold the trigger down it does stop leaking for the most part. Also won't fire and I am assuming this is because of the leak.

I will keep u posted.

Most likely your leak is caused by a bad powertube oring. Not being able to fire, is not a powertube oring problem.

Is the bolt reset when it is leaking? The trigger should be forward with tension on it.

Is your rail bushing in place?

Note: If it is a spacer issue causing your problems, a longer one will make it leak more. A shorter one will stop the leak. One that is too short will cause bolt stick issues.
