    need help

    ok im in desperate need of assistance on wat im positive is a simple fix. i just dunno how 2 fix it lol. heres my setup and my problem.

    classic mag
    lvl 10 (1 ring carrier, 2 shims medium length main spring)
    hyperframe (cf on/off dont ask how long all i no is its the longer of the 2 that i have)
    (it prolly has nuttin to do w/ the problem but as i like 2 sho it off, a ULE body)

    the problem....
    once upon a time in a magical land far far away....
    just kidding

    the gun fires if i turn up the velocity waaaayyy up, up so far that it leaks out the back of the regulator. and then when the bolt stops so it doesnt chop, it vents....but it doesnt reset. it just keeps venting and venting. if i push it back w/ my finger it chops off my finger (just kidding) no if i push it back itll lock down and then theres a tiny tiny leak from sumwhere in the powertube (i THINK) it may have been the reg i heard leaking. just as i was about 2 bring it back in, i fired a few more just 2 make sure it didnt wanna work. i experienced sumthin really wierd. maybe it was cuz the paint was too big 4 the barrel i dunno. but he ball would b all the way in the body and when fired, the bolt would push the ball halfway in2 the barrel and then start venting until i pushed it back in, then i could fire the ball normally (well as normally as u would consider firing a half fired ball lol)

    that about sums up the extent of the problem or problems im not sure if theyre all related or not.

    o ya 1 last thing, the gun worked perfectly w/ the lvl 7 bolt, if u dont count all the chopping ( i duno if that helps at all but hey, i tried rite?)

    thanx for your time

    Consider running with the shortest spring until you get the setup working well. Plus, remove all the shims until you get it working as well. After everything is proven to work with the basic setup, you can increase the spring and add a shim or two if you want to move to the edge of high performance.

    Sounds like its a simple level 10 problem that will be solved with a little tweaking.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

          It shouldn't leak with the proper carrier and no shims. Try another o-ring in case the one you are using is bad. What kind of condition is the sear in? Is it showing any signs of wear?

                I had to order a new reg piston. I called tech and they said my mag was real old and th episton in it wasnt made to handle the preassure the lvl 10 requires. Not sure if thats your deal too. Just what I had to do. He said the spring pack in the power tube instead of a spacer and the real low serial number told him it was ancient...lol.

                      The PT spring was in the mag video. I don't think its that old.
