Mag leak

[monkeyduckey1]

I bought a sidewinder, and the air reaches the reg and when I turn up the air flow the air starts to leak from valve, through the bolt.

Also is pointless for me to have a sidewinder on an xvalve'd mag

Air it up, pull and hold the trigger. If it stops, the leak is the power tube oring. Replace it.

If it doesn't, replace the orings in the on/off assembly.

And yes, its pointless, and can harm the perfomance of a mag to add an inline reg. What you end up doing is tripple regging it, which can lead to shootdown and slow recharge rates.
