    Brand New Mag leaking down Barrel

    Hey I just got my Paradigm today for christmas and gassed it up and I hear a very slite leak down the barrel. I have never owned a mag before and I was wondering if it could have been because the tank I used had less than 1000psi left and was wondering what might exactly be the problem. Also the marker feels like it is not gassed up due to lack of air. I am also wondering if this is because of the valve maybe. Please help a noob to the mag family.

    Make sure you put oil in the asa and dry fire it at least 20 times without the barrel on. Try it with a full tank, what do you mean doesn't feel gassed up? Does the trigger set and does it dry fire? Try dry firing with a full tank and if it still leaks, the level 10 probably needst to be tuned. Switch the carrier out for the next smallest one.

      You will need a full tank of air.

      A few answers to your questions:
      1) There is no problem with your marker. The slight leak you hear just requires dropping one size in the carrier. This is common during the break-in period of the Level 10.
      2) Mags operate the best at above 800 psi. If you are under 1000, you are low.
      3) Nothing is wrong with the valve. Refer to #1 & #2

      Not to worry. When you purchase a RPG marker, you get free tech support. Just e-mail me at your convenience.

      Thanks!
      Hey thanks guys and I did put about 4 drops of oil in the ASA and it seemed to seat right up, but later on throughout the day it started leaking again and I will def PM you Rouge and thanks for the help....by the way I love the marker.
