    Major Problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have a minimag. I have a leak in it. Ok, i can fire the gun, but when i let go, the bolt moves forward and it starts to leak, this is really tickin me off, because i have done everything i can think of to try and fix it, but nothing has worked. I really need some help.

    Sounds like an on/off problem or a spacer problem.

    BTW- A minimag and an automag are the same gun w/ different bodies.

      yeah, sounds like bolt stick. if you dont have one pick up a PT(powertupe) spacer kit, and following the instructions on it accordingly to your problem

        If its leaking down the barrel you just need a shorter spacer. If you purchased it like I'm sure AGD can send you one, or just buy the lvl x if you are planning to do it eventualy(You dont need the spacers for the lvl x)

          Yeah, sounds like a spacer problem. Use a shorter spacer in the power tube.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

            Also, check the bolt spring, it may be worn out. If it's a level 6.5 gun (or anything before l 7) then it may be a powertube spring. Also check your on off assembly for any messed up orings and to be sure the brass piece is in right side up.

              Also, you can see that I own all of the guns you were considering and I have to say the mag is definately the best for the money.

                Sounds like the powertube spacer/spring or powertube o-ring. Early level 7's have powertube springs(my lv7 does), if you have the spring just get a spacer kit and swap it out.

                  check the bottom most o-ring in the on/off assembly (the little bright white one that fits around the on/off pin) if it is a loose fit the gun will continue to leak down the barrel when the trigger is pulled. This happens more often then the powertube spacer problem people always speak of.

                    Tough question on the poll ... best gun for the money.

                    In My Opinion:

                    The Angel is out ... that part is simple. great guns, but expensive for what the other 3 can do.

                    The Minimag is out. Looks better, but is also more expensive for the same thing as a Powerfeed Classic.

                    My choice was between the cocker & Classic mag then ... and I chose the autococker. I almost clicked on Automag, but then I thought - 'cockers can run great on CO2, Automags are very HPA biased. It can run on CO2, but it takes some work.

                    However, if I owned a field, automags would be the rental gun for the simple facts that I would have HPA, and 'mags are extremely easy to clean - hose them off, keep them oiled ... done!

                      but since you didn't list it, I chose the automag.
