SLG Air Leak

[Stewpot]

ok, bought an SLG on here recently but dont know why it has an air leak from the back of the gun.

i have taken the bolt out, changed all the orings and re-lubed them all up (as the manual says to do) but no success

anyone have any ideas

how much air was in the bottle when you aired it up?
it needs a decent amount to presurise the bolt or it does just come out the back of the bolt.

2000psi +

cant test it now as it vented it all 2000psi gone in about 20 seconds

Make sure you haven't over-lubed the orings (just need to be shiny not covered in blobs of lube). Also make sure you've got a fresh battery in there.

Is the air escaping around the back cap, or out through the 'bleed button' in the back cap? Also, does the bleed button pop out as it should? Or does it stay pressed down inside the back cap?

If its easier you can email me: eurotech@dyeprecision.com or call the office on 0208 649 6330

have made sure not over lubed as i ran my finger around to smooth the lube out and yeah the battery was fresh in.

not sure whether it is from the back cap but the bleed button doesn't pressurize and simply leaks all the air out of the back

Have you checked the 2 orings thats on the bleed button within the back cap i belive these are

- 005 BN 70

If not replace them and see if it leaks?

replaced ALL o-rings in both the bolt setup and re-lubed it still no luck
