    weird leak

    Hey guys - hopefully someone can help here. My Tac appears to have a strange leak going on "inside" the bolt/valve - I'm not sure. As soon as I gas up you can can hear a air leaking inside - it is the most audible when putting my ear over the feed neck -like if it's coming from around the foamie area. What's stranger is that the amount of leakage decreases considerably if I lighlty press down on the trigger - just enough that it doesn't fire yet. It still leaks, just not as much. I've oiled it up considerably and still the same results. Possible bad oring? Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like a Level 10 leak to me... does it change pitch/intensity as you touch or wiggle your bolt (through the feedneck or with a barrel cleaning device). If so I'd head over to a LVL 10 resource and check it out.

      Try removing a level 10 shim or two and see if that helps any. If that doesnt help, go down a carrier size. :)
