      If your mag is an older standard mag, then it may have to have a new regulator assembly installed.
      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

        Which spring and carrier are you using? You might need the next larger carrier or the next lighter spring.

          Tramp is on the right track. Go to the next shorter spring...Tell us what happened then.

          And look for any further answers where I moved this to tech forum!

            You need a new piston.

              im still at work so i havent tried these suggestions yet ... but to answer your q`s ... my tank is preset ... the spring is the one with the piece cut out ... and the carrier is the one with one line and the hole.
              thanks again.

                  Hey other then venting is there a way to visually tell if you've got an old style piston?

                  Like if you had a level 7 that was originally shipped with a power tube spring instead of a spacer. Is that enough to know what style it is?

                    Pistons can wear out over time. I replaced mine when I had the same problem, problem solved. The regulator piston assembly runs 15 bucks.

                      Thats exactly it - i got my regulator piston yesterday and it solved everything. drop the 15 bucks at the AGD store and it will have your gun shooting much 'cleaner' in no time.

                          Oh well .. it started venting again, I`ll order a new piston because when i put the level 10 in i pulled out a spring spacer.
                          thanks.
