    leaky lvl 10

    Okay I have a lvl 10 on an xvalve with a ULT, when ever I touch the trigger it starts leaking down the barrel. I took the shim out of the power tube and it didn't help. Sometimes it won't recock all the way, if I stick my finger down the feed neck and push the bolt back it makes a click and re-cocks fine.......... any advice would be awesome!

    Did you use the correct carrier? Carriers can wear in a little, so if they don't leak at first they can after wearing them in.

      Usually, if the bolt doesn't reset, it's because there are not enough shims... but too much shims will make it leak...
      As for the leak, try a smaller carrier with the same o-ring.

        Touching the trigger causing a leak usually indicates too many shims in the powertube. Not recocking, having to push to reset, usually indicates a carrier that is too tight.

        Remove all shims, retune your carrier and oring. Use the largest carrier that doesn't leak.

        I wouldn't worry about putting shims back in unless you have problems with the gun not resetting after hitting a blockage/chopping.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

          Shims only help if the gun doesn't reset after a chuff on a blockage. If the gun doesn't reset properly after a shot, then the problem is a carrier that is too tight.

            thanks for the advice guys. think I have the problem fixed (need more air to be sure though). one thing that did happen though is the foamie blew off, is it okay to super glue that thing back on?

              Superglue is fine. Make sure you clean the bolt surface well to remove any remnants of previous glue.
