Thanks
Im getting no leaks and its firing.

Im gonna go out back and chrono now.

One thing that was not clear to me at first was that you are supposed to use THE SAME O-ring with each different size carrier when trying to find a good fit. If you re not doing that, then I'll bet if you take the O-ring from the smallest you are trying and move it up one carrier, you will get what you need. If not, try the other O-rings in different carriers.

Good Luck!

OK I can chrono up to 310 before it starts venting

But its hardly as gentle on paint as ive seen on the demonstration videos etc.

I put my finger in the breech and it hurt quite a bit.

So how do I get it a bit softer?

I am transferring the white o-ring from each carrier, but leaving the black one there.
Is that correct?

[Joni]

Thats correct. To make it more gentle on paint, you need to be able to use a longer spring. Try if you can use the middle, and optimal is the longest. If the problem is that it starts venting, you might need a new reg piston.

[Plazmic]

Yes, that is what I meant.

I ws going to mention the REG Piston, but if you are running an X-valve then you've got the higher venting piston already.

Adding another shim might help with the hard bolt action, I think.

[No Excuse]

Thanks for all the help so far.

I tried the middle spring again and I have got it to work with a slight leak from the back of the gun.

It is much softer and is getting 280fps


I tried another shim that just makes it leak all the time



I have a retro valve, does this mean I need a new piston.

Thanks again

[Joni]

It should be able to go up to 280 without leaking, so maybe you should get a new piston, but I really don't know about the retro...could someone who knows for sure tell?

[Plazmic]

Oh, yeah, if you have the retro then you'll most likely want the new reg piston. That's what I did and it made all the difference in the world.

[No Excuse]

woohey, thanks guys.

I just put a pic of my mag in the official pictures thread.

Go check it out

[Joni]

That IS pretty sweet. Hope you get it to work

[Plazmic]

Very nice! Mine doesn't look quite that good. I've only had it two months, though, and it was in such rough shape when I got it that I actually had to replace some parts because they were rusted!

AGD, lvl 10 prob, please help

I can't figure out what's going on! I just installed my lvl 10 kit a few days ago. But when I screw in my tank it begans to leak quietly. But then when i hold the trigger down slightly it stops. When i fire fast it starts to leak even more. What do i do?

[BD_Paintball]

i had the same problem. change the carrier to a smaller one until the carrier o-rings get worked in. and always oil the stuff in the power tube alot. when you first put the lvl 10 in it will start to leak when the carrier o-rings get worked it. you just need to keep going to a smaller carrier until it stops leaking.

hope that helps

[halocrazy]

thx

Thanks for the tip. i'll try it out in the morning and see how it works. Thanks again!!!
