    classic leaking down barrel

    i am selling my x valve and putting the classic valve back in. when i air it up it leaks down the barrel and shoots sometimes but then after a few shots it stops. i took the on/off out and the o rings look ok. when i put them back in should the little white one fit inside the bigger one? thanks in advance for any help.

      Did you read the level 10 instructions at all? Take a look at this page: http://www.airgun.com/xmag/html/lvl10.html

      Basically, no matter how well they machine the bolt and such, there may be differences in size between yours and the o-rings may be a different size also. The spacers for the level 10 compensate for this. The difference in size in spacers is the diameter of the area where you place the o-ring. The smaller the diameter, the tighter the o-ring fits around the piston in the bolt. You want this to fight snugly, but still be easy to move the bolt in and out. Take a look at that page for instructions.
