Weird level 10 "problem"

[PaInTbAlLeR476]

well it works great ill say that. But one problem everyonce in a while a very tiny leak occurs downt he barrel(maybe 15-20 min after gassing up the gun and firing) and last for a min or 2. the leak stops if i pull the trigger back far enough to make it stiff(not enough to fire just enough to get rid of the front play) i have the smallest carrier in(1)im thinking maybe get rid of a shim? but i have no clue so im turning to you guys. Please help. its not that big of a deal really but it would be nice to know what was wrong w/ it. and so i can fix it.

Yeah try getting rid of a shim.

If the gun leaks and then a slight pressure on the trigger (not enough to fire) stops it, this could be because the slight pressure on the trigger actually pulls the bolt back and this may be putting the bleed hole back behind the o-ring.

By removing a shim you will be making the bleed hole further back from the o-ring.

You can happily remove shims as long as the bolt vents ok when it stops on an obstruction in the breech.

well to tell u the truth it worked fine w/ NO shims. but i put in 2 becuase thats what the directions said. so im gonna take one out and ill report back if its still a problem... thanks for the help!

Mine did the same thing. I put a smaller carrier and removed the shims. Seems to work even better.

my RT runs with NO shims at all. My C&C has 3 at last count.

I think you just worked out what to do to fix it
