    RT leak down the barrel.......sort of......

    Old RT with level 10.
    Was working fine for a little while (few days of play after level 10 install)
    Then a leak developed. It is leaking down the barrel. Press on the bolt area and leak changes......thinking carrier (has 1.0 carrier and no shims), but when you move the barrel a little or bump the side of the marker the leak goes away. It also doesn't leak when the barrel is off.

    Weird because this is the same barrel I've been using without problems. I'm thinking somehow the bolt is pressing on the barrel or vice versa.

    --Is it ok to sand down the bolt or would I be better off taking a little off the inside of the barrel?

      Yeah, drop a carrier size.
      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

        I seem to recall the Bolt for the old RT was a tiny bit smaller. Did you get an old style RT level 10 kit? I might be wrong but I thought it was a tiny bit smaller in diameter and so it might indeed be catching.
