leakage

[daesalthor]

Hi guys,hope you can help. I've got an eclipse automag with a minimag level 10 bolt on it,but got a leakage problem. I've had all the main orings replaced and its still gradually leaking,very slowly. The size of my air bottle means that I can fire about 800 rounds over a 3_4 hour period,but its still nagging at me,sooo frustrating!

Does anyone have any suggestions?it sounds like the leak is coming from the bolt

where is it leaking from?

The bolt itself I think. I had paintball lizard have a look at it for me,but we don't have a clue why its leaking.

When I pull the trigger an fire a shot it stops hissing,when I let the trigger go the hissing starts again.

Sounds like its probably the shims in the lvl 10. Try removing one and see if that sorts your problem. Or even better follow this guide (the detailed assembly instructions).

Good call, I was about to post that link!

Also youtube has a few lvl 10 videos that may help.

I would vote for shims as well but check all the o-rings are ok too

The X-valve I've got is supposed to be hard to set up, but the level 10 shimming was spot on from factory so I left it well alone. The ULE trigger valve on the other hand was swine to get right.
