    On/Off Pin gets stuck

    I have an RT Pro, and one day I started having a problem with my on/off pin. I didn't change anything within the gun or tank when this started. It seems that whenever I gas up my gun, it pushes the on/off pin out, and in order to remove the bolt, I have to take the handle off, and not just the screw that holds the bolt in. I also then have to push the pin back in, becuase it gets stuck in the hole in the mainbody. If I do not do this every time I ungas my gun, then when I try and gas it up again, the air just comes out of the back (the hole where you adjust the velocity) It can be a royal PITA to do, esp when I want to clean the bolt real fast.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

              In order to take the valve assembly out after de-gassing the gun, turn the safety off and pull the trigger. This pushes the on/off pin into the valve. You can then slide the valve out. (was in the instructions/video)

              As for the leaking out the back- turn the velocity down a couple cranks before gassing up the gun. My emag valve is weird like that.

                      I would like to add to this post. This has worked for me in the past, however, with my minimag w/ level 10, I cannot push the trigger back to degass the gun.

                      I get one or two shots, and my pressure remains at ~400 psi. I cannot trip the on/off to fire another shot. I don't know if I have an incorrect sear, or what, but it's under so much pressure that I can't even try to rip the macroline out of the fitting, it's stuck.

                      Anyone with an answer, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

                          That's b/c of the level 10. It retains a fair amount of pressure in the valve even after turning off the air flow.

                          3 solutions-

                          Use a quick disconnect/ss braided line

                          Unscrew the tank (if possible)

                          Press and hold your finger in the breech. Move the bolt up or down a pinch. You'll hear the air leaking out.
