Ion firing can

[jester22]

gents,

i have purchased a new firing can from the forum a few weeks back (think it is a lucky one)

but when i fit it to the gun it leaks air from the back of the gun put the old one back on and it is fine. i have changed the O-rings incase they are dodgey but still the same.

it is a sliver one with a trinty body just for the record. i seem to remeber seeing some where that you might need a spring for a lucky firing can but could be wrong on that the mind is not what it use to be.

so any ideas??

Is it leaking from around the donut, or the area where the firing can and breech meet, if its at the breech try flipping the bolt stop over, if not, its possible the orings might not be good on the end of the can, eg they may need to be thicker than stock,

have you cleaned the grooves the o-rings sit in.

 

[jester22]

its leaking form the doughnut end not the breach end i will try thicker seals

Tom, it was brand new, never been used and was spot less.

I used a stock bolt ad firebolt with a lucky stage 2 (firing can)and 3(donut) no springs needed as far as I know.

I think the quote from lucky about the spring was to assist with lowering dwell even further but I never tried it.

It doesn't leak on mine either arg
