Chut! Hisss-BANG! Chut! Hissss-BANG!

I've been having issues with my Classic valve recently. Every second cycle it leaks out the back of the valve till I pull the trigger again, at which point it sounds off louder than a Nelson. I'm fairly sure it's a valve issue, I've got an old ANS Reactor II and I'm familiar with the horror stories. Though I've taken it apart already and nothing seems to be out of place. The only thing I haven't done is re-oil it since this came up.

Any ideas?

Sounds like its turned up too high. If its leaking out the back of the valve that would seem to say regulator issue. that and the loudness of the shot indicates it shooting way hot. Try turning it down a little

How lubed is your bolt?

Fixed it. It was a lube issue all right. The bolt was sticky from old paint I'd somehow missed, plus I put a few drops of Autolube in the ASA and fired it a few more times.

No more problems.
