Guys I need some advice.

Not had my PMR out for 2 months and was going to site on Sunday so on Saturday I got it out for a test. It worked beautifully when I put it away.

Anyway, aired her up with Pure Energy 3k and all was good. Didn't use ammo but fired fine.

Got there Sunday and Pure Energy tank nearly empty so used my other one (unsure on manufacturer). Aired it up and massive leak.

Can't understand it???

Stripped down bolt and hyper2 reg oiled, checked rings and re-assembled. Aired it up again using 2nd tank and still leaked. Tried with PE tank (<1k left) and no leak???

Don't understand? Any ideas?
