    pneumag leak between shots

    I have a pneumag with xvalve and level X. Shoots well but is leaking between some shots and wasting alot of air. What would be the fix? Also it sometimes jams between shots and will not fire again. Not sure if that is a level X issue or what.

    I'm still a pneumag novice, but the trigger vents air in the process, mine is an air hog as well.

      All mags are air-hogs, nature of the beast. The pneumatic triggering mechanism uses such a tiny amount of gas it really isn't a big factor. Is the marker leaking down the barrel, out the back, or from the pneumatics somewhere?

            Ditto. You've got a problem with your Level 10. Read up on the how-to here: http://www.automags.org/resource/level10/index.shtml.

            As for the pneumatics... if you're using an MSV-2 or whatever, then yes, it should leak when you fire the marker. That's just the way the MSVs work. At rest, it should NOT be leaking, but when engaged, it does vent a little extra gas.
