i got my lvl 10 in the other day but when i turn the air on it leaks in sidethe gun the other problem is that like sometimes the balls only go like 3 feet out of the barrel it will do that for like 5 shots then it will be fine. sometimes it breaks paint too.

I have a hyper framed mini-mag. Lvl 10 installed and problems as follows: It'll gas up with no leaks. After one shot, the bolt sticks foward and leaks heavily down the barrel. I have tried all carriers from 0 to 2 and with each carrier went from 0 to 3 shims. The same result with all. The spring used has been the long and short (the used kit I got didn't include the medium.)
As far as leaks through the valve, the velocity has to be pretty close to max before it begins to vent so I don't think that this is an issue. All parts are lubed well and carrier o-rings have been inspected and replaced numerous times. As well, I have changed the power tube o-ring several times.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. -Napoleon

I'm sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you should have picked up some new o-rings from AGD rather than using the old ones. Moot point, now, I guess.
One other little thing, though. Napoleon is spelled with an a, not an e, and that's not his quote.Last edited by Plazmic; 02-23-2004, 02:16 PM.

Also, I had (2) complete O-ring replacement kits at the beginning of this endeavor. Needless to say, ALL o-rings from the barrel nubbins all the way back to the regulator piston were replaced twice.
I'm not new to mags. I've owned some variation of an AGD marker since the beginning. I simply feel that this is too much to expect me, as a consumer, to endure. And judging from the 30 pages in this thread, I would venture to say that I'm not alone in my frustrations.Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. -Napoleon

Yeah, I agree this is a difficult upgrade for the average player to perform. Looking back at my last post I think I came off a little harsh. Sorry about that.
It took me 4 days to get my Lvl 10 working, so I do understand your frustrations. I wish there were a better way, but I guess there's not. I suspect that the level 10 and the classic valve are not as happy a fit as the level 10 and the X-valve. I'll find out in a couple of months when I can finally afford the x-valve.
Funny on the quote. I had it attributed to Winston Churchill! Maybe he was quoting Napoleon.

I just installed my lvl 10 bolt in my classic automag, and it leaks a lot, not a small leak but a big one! I have the smallest carrier and tried a lot of other carriers and tried it with shims out and shims in. Help please
BTW: it leaks from valve.

hey are the parts for the lvl 10 supposed to go according to this picture?
OR does the backing washer and carrier go in first.
For this i mean like this
BOLT| BACKING WASHER | CARRIER | SHIMS |POWER TUBE TIP |*
or
BOLT| POWER TUBE TIP | SHIMS | CARRIER | BACKING WASHER |
*means that the backing washer goes in first, then carrier, etc. same way for the next one*
