Hey guys,
So, I was having problems with consistency and velocity, so I completely tore down the gun and replaced o-rings in the HPR, LPR, and rammer. This is on a star-framed Etek 2. Also, the diaphram was turned on its side when I inspected that and I straightened that out. I put some paint through the marker and velocity and consistency were back. :D
Now, however, I have the tiniest of leaks that I can only hear from the feedneck. When I point the gun with the barrel downward toward the floor...no leak. When I hold it horizontal...minor leak. When I hold it with the barrel toward the ceiling...slightly louder leak. I've swapped out my zick for the stock rammer and still there. I changed my cure 2 with the stock bolt and still there. I've moved the bolt while under pressure and it has no noticeable effect. I took off the grips and no air coming from there. I can't even feel the air through the feedneck or barrel breach, but I can only hear it through the feedneck.
Anything I haven't tried that you'd suggest? I don't know if this will have much of a negative effect on the marker, but I know it's not supposed to be this way, which is driving me crazy.:runaway:
