        Ok, so, aired up and dry fired just fine

        I'm super excited

        Now, on to tuning. Is there any kind of link out there that I should read?

          Go to that link I mentioned on AirGun Design's L10 page - it has all the info for carrier identification and tuning you need.

            Ok, read that.

            So gold spring or red spring, I'm pretty sure I have gold, not positive about red

            So what do the carriers actually do? Where are they in the marker? And why would the wrong one cause a leak down the barrel like that guide said?

            I did air it up last night and fire it, shot great. Small macro line leak but that's easily fixed.

              If you unscrew the power tube tip (the brass piece with a hex that the bolt sits on) you can pull the carrier out. The carrier holds the o-ring, because tolerances on o-rings suck, so that's the only reliable way to adjust the ID of the o-ring. If your have one that is too big, the o-ring won't seal on the rear of the bolt. If you have one that is too small, it'll cause drag and you'll get bolt stick.

                Ok that's pretty cool. I'll pull that out tonight and have a look

                I assume if the o ring is too big I have a leak and if it's too small it won't fire?

                What are the symptoms if I get it wrong?

                  You need to use the same o-ring and change carriers. If you're on the smallest carrier (no markings) and it leaks, you need a new o-ring.

                  I start at the middle carrier and if it leaks, move down and go to the largest carrier that doesn't leak.

                  If it starts out not leaking, I move up in carrier size until it does, then go back to the last one that didn't leak.

                        Screw your field strip screw lightly into the carrier oring then pull. The carrier will come right out. Always oil the outside oring on the carrier when reinstalling.

                            Ok, so glad I paid the lady an extra $20 for all the random parts. Looks like I have all of the carriers

                            Next question (second photo)

                            Do these little washers adjust anything? There was one in front of the carrier that is installed

                                Ah, I forgot about those! They decide when the bolt will vent the air when it hits a ball that is half fed.

                                Basically you could wind up with it on a ball and not venting. If that's the case, you put in a shim to correct this. I hope that makes sense.

                                Check out this animation for how it works:
