Another Barrel/Bolt Leak Question

[Nate129]

Played all day Sunday with my mag (X-Valve, L-X, ULE Trigger, Intelliframe) with no problems. I just installed the ULE trigger before I played, but it worked fine. I had four shims in, FYI.

After cleaning everything today, I aired it up just check it out - and I have slow but steady leak down the barrel. Partially pulling the trigger stops it for a second, but it will not stop leaking when the trigger is at rest. I tried putting another shim on the ULT, but it didn't help. If I tighten the field-strip screw, it seems to slow the leak down, but not fix it completely.

Also, when I was test-firing it - it wasn't recharging very fast...after about the third shot it wouldn't re-cock, it would just hiss.

When I de-gassed it Sunday it was working perfectly, and now this...

This is my first mag, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Give it some oil it helps seal orings as well as lubricate them. Put five or 6 drops in the asa and reconnect your airsource , take off your barrel or you have to clean up the barrel and then dryfire the gun to circulate the oil though out the gun.

Alright, I got it fixed - this is what I did:

I pulled the Power Tube apart, and went from a 1.5 to a 1 on the carrier. I left the new oring on the new carrier, but I cycled the gun about 100 times to break it in.
I am using 3 ULE trigger shims and 1 LX shim on my ULE Trigger.
1 LX shim on the LX.
Shortest spring on the bolt.

The bolt with close on my finger and hiss for a second, and then reset.

It now fires very well, and doesn't leak at all - but here is my BIG CONCERN...

It was working perfectly fine when I 'parked' it on Sunday - and then today it started leaking. Does it make sense that I had to change the carrier to make it work today? My gun is pretty new - it had about 300 balls through it W/O the ULE trigger last weekend (Sunday was the first day with the ULE trigger), and I probably shot somewhere around 500 on Sunday WITH the ULE trigger.

I am just concerned that I am going to get out to the field and have it start leaking again halfway into a game. I have no way to actual test-fire with paint, so is there anything else I can do as insurance that it will be fine when I get to the field?
