    X-Valve 2 shot then leak problem.

    This is my first problem with my Automag.

    I gased it up, loaded my Q-Pods and went to Chrono it. I fired 2 shots and it was fine, but after the second shot the sear sticks and it won't fire. After about 5 seconds the sear returns but I can't fire it. I took my valve apart, re-oiled it and I kept having the same problem. I'm about to replace the buffer on my LX and another O-Ring inside the X-Valve. I was thinking my problem is the spring on my LX, could that be it?

    When it's not gased up the sear returns fine. Any suggestions? :S

    Update: I didn't notice this before with the Q-Loader Feed Neck on, there's a MASSIVE LX leak. I've never noticed the leak before either. Now I don't have a clue what the problem could be.

    I also don't have the ULT -YET-, it should be here any day now. I'd like to try and fix the problem now so I can get more accustomed with my 'Mag than I already am.

      Problem fixed.

      Turns out I had my On/Off valve too tight. I didn't think that would hinder the amount of gas getting into the valve.

      However, it still leaks a little. Could that be from adding in the new (fresh) buffer? Or could it be the LX springs?

        A leak out the powertube of the Xvalve is usually a carrier that is too loose, or too many shims.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
