    Small leak query

    I've got a slight leak in my mag. At gas up it lets out a really quiet hissing sound. If I fire it and hold the trigger it stops so I think it's in the on/off section. I have changed all the o-rings around the on/off pin and that seemed to fix it. I fired off several shots and it was ok. I waited a week and got it out to gas it up and the same thing has happend again. Can anyone give me some pointers?

    if it leaks down the barrel with the trigger released and stops when you pull the trigger it is either a bad powertube o-ring, incorrect spacer, weakened spring, or bolt and sear wear. first check the powertube o-ring as this is most likely your problem. if it still leaks after you check these, it could be in the bottom half of the on/off assembly, this is a very illusive leak to find some times.
    a helpfull hint to know is if it stops while the trigger is pulled then the on/off is working correctly and this tells you that the leak is in front of the on/off, hence the bolt.
