    RT Pro valve leak

    Hey guys. I have an RT Pro valve with a level 10 bolt and when I hold the trigger down I get a small air leak down the barrel. I replaced both on off orings, the one on top and the small one on the inside but not the big one thats closest to the outside. (The first one you see when you pull it out) any ideas?

    If holding down the trigger still leaks, then you have bad o-ring in the on off.

      Does it leak when sitting at rest when the trigger is not held? Are there shims installed in your level 10? Does the leak go away if after a while if you continue to hold the trigger in?
      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

        No leaks when it's just sitting there, only when I hold the trigger down. I know it's the on/off, maybe I'll swap out that third oring and see what happens.

          Only the two top orings affect leaking out the front.

          After you hold the trigger and it leaks, when you release the trigger, does it immediately stop leaking? Do you have to push the bolt back for the sear to reset or does it reset normally after you hold the trigger in? If the sear resets normally, then the bolt is sitting in its normal location for reset. With a bad on-off oring, the bolt should be pushed a bit forward to allow the vent hole to be expose in order to allow air out. If the sear resets normally, then this isn't happening which makes me think the carrier is pushed back too far or the sear is worn. If you have level 10 shims installed, remove them.

            Ok it's fixed, it wasn't a level ten leak. I ended up pulling out a grain of sand or something, lubed it up real good and it's all good.
