    quick question on LX

    earlier when i was shootin my gun the tank had around 1500 psi in it and it wasnt leakin and the next day i a shot it again after i installed the intelliframe and my tank only has like 300 psi pressure left in it now and the gun is leakin out the barrel, im playin on saturday and i cant get air until at least friday, so i need to know if its just the lack of pressure in the tank thats makin it leak or if i need to adjust sumthin in it.
    edit: o and its in a x-valve dont know if that makes ne difference or not.

    Only way to tell is to get air in it. Then you dunk the sucker in water and look for the air bubbles. Then, here's what you check on the LX. If you push the bolt and it stops leaking, it's a shim leak. If you push the bolt around and the sound changes, it's a carrier leak. (You gas up and stick your finger in the breech.)

    but, all of this requires air. So without it, you're SOL.

        Same difference. They're connected.

          k i got air in the gun and pressed on the bolt and it stopped so i guess its a shim leak. how would i go about fixing this? i dont know how to get the shim out of the gun.

            remove the valve, take the bolt and spring off, then take the power tube tip off, and the shim(s) will be right under that.
