Air Leak out of my Automag Rt ????

[Guicho]

Hello all, i am an angel owner, and i recently aquired a Automag Rt with Level 10 Bolt, dye boomstick, and warpfeed system, And 68/4500 psi crossfire tank. i am fairly new to these guns, i dont have instruction manual... Now when that tank is screwed in there is a strong leak out of the barrel, or better yet said out of the feeder tube area. i am guessing it is an O-Ring, but i would like to hear if any of you Rt owners have any input, i dont know where to even start the dissasembel of the gun if i wanted to change the o-ring inside the gun.

You may need to just go to the next smaller carrier, part #4 on the diagram on this link, http://www.automags.org/resource/level10/index.shtml There's tons of good info there:) Unscrewing the screw on the back under the valve will allow it to slide out the back. You may need to pull the trigger to make sure the on/off pin is fully pushed in by the sear tho. Of course make sure you're degassed before starting all of this!

Yup, go down a carrier, also it may be a shim leak. If you put your finger on the bolt while its leaking (stick your finger in the breech) and wiggle it around/push it in a bit, if the leak changes pitches, thats a carrier leak, I think. If it doesnt, take all the metal shims out of your powertube, and start with 1 in there, and keep adding them until it starts to leak, then go back until its stable :)
Also take a look at the oring when you are changing carriers. It may be damaged and you may need to replace it.
The most likely though, is a carrier leak, which chuck explained how to fix (go down a size)
I seem to find that the more shims that are in there, the better, but that probally isnt nessicarilary true, thats just how I do it

Anyway, everything I just said was on that page Chuck posted (I just looked at it)

gettin frustrated....

okay im having trouble getting the carrier to come out, is there a specific method to getting this out, i have tried it all even using allen wrench to try to grip it. thanks for all the help guys.:)

got it out

, small cork screw did the job, i broke two dentist tools in the process. okay i will try with defferent size carriers, it had the one with two notches on it, all the orings seem in good condition.

another good way to get the carrier out is to use the back field strip screw and screw it in the carrier and then just pop it out. and make sure you keep the same carrier o-ring that was in there because u want to you the same one until it gets worked in. and i would take all the shims out when doing this to make sure its not a shim leak.
