    lvl 7 minimag leak on trigger release

    im sort of new to mags...but i know all the parts

    first off last year i bought a used mag with an extra o-ring/parts kit..im guessing all of the oring were used or pretty bad...i had some bad leaking and reliability problems in the past with it..only played about 4 or 5 times using it..

    i bought a new powertube and on/off oring from a store for 3 bucks each and now it works fine..before under the on off valve and the brass peice those 2 orings didnt fit together right, the smaller one wouldnt go all the way in and my on off valve was partially sticking up and i didnt even know if it should have been like that..well i fixed that problem and the gun works fine now, except when i release the trigger, there is a small leak of air..if i shoot fast it gets longer..and it shoots paintballs out slower, so im assuming it could be a regulator problem..i had my gun chronod at around 280 and everyonce in a while there is a small leak out the back reg..i changed the reg seat and still have the problem..it might be the spring/piston i have a few extra of those, but i think they are used...anyway im just trying to diagnose the problem and see what i can do to fix it..


    i was planning on selling my mag soon and buying an ion..

    but that will put me back quite a bit, so i was considering as i have before to get an e-frame lcd for my mag...which i can pick up for dirt cheap ($150 CDN)..but i wasnt sure about this due to the unreliability of my mag from other problems which were all my own fault im assuming...

    i know its an old mag and it came with an extra bolt and regulator..which i tried to gas up once but got some major leaks...so i just left it off...

    so this is also a question, should i keep my mag and get a new trigger frame...or sell it for around $200 and buy an ion for $430 CDN with tax at a store here

    if i kept the mag i would also consider in the near future a lvl 10 bolt..

    sorry for the long post..any help is appreciated

    ummmm

    are you using N2 or CO2? and if CO2, are you doing anything to prevent liquid from getting to the valve? if not, thats your problem, most likely
