Micromag being weird (on/off pin problem)

[Ir0nExpress]

Well, I finally got an o-ring kit and a shim kit to fix my leaky mag. I got the Micromag RT to fire a good 30 shots in a row (before, the powertube o-ring was spent, so I replaced it which stopped the barrel leak). Now after I fired a bunch of shots, the air starts venting downbarrel. I turn the air off and thought I needed to change the shim.

I take out the back grip frame screw and try to pull out the valve. Except it's stuck.

I do the smart thing and don't pull it out by force, but instead I take the grip frame off and I see that the on/off pin has popped out a bit and stuck itself in one of the holes in the micromag body. I push the pin back into the valve and the valve slides out perfectly fine.

Now this has happened a few times already. Does anyone have any idea what to do? I'll try and elaborate.

Thanks

This is completely natural. Before disassembly, you must pull the trigger (de-gassed and no paintballs of course) to push the on/off pin into the on off assembly. This way, the valve clears the body no problem. If you don't do this, and try to pull the valve out, you risk bending the on/off pin.

Its nomrmal for the pin to stick out. Push on the bolt to see if the leak stops. If it dose its the on/off. If dose stop use the next tightest carrier

Oh okay, that's one less problem lol.

Now that's done with, it seems like this gun has shootdown, it shoots a few shots until it doesn't have air to recock and it just sits there. Before it shot probably a whole 100 shots before it acted funny.

EDIT: Out of gas, now I gotta figure out where to get more. Thanks for your help.

RT type valves don't work well under 700 PSI...
