problem!

[Lorquas]

I have a rebel deluxe and its leaking air badly out the screw at the bottom of the expanshion chamber/fore-hand grip. I sent in for a replacement but is there any way to fix it before it comes?

ifyou ave not yet taken this gun apart, you should... just so you get to know it a little better... its not a complicated gun, very simple indeed. anyway... i suggestyou take the bolt on the botom of the expansion chamber off, if you havnt already, and take the bottom part of the expansion chamber off. there should be a realy small o-ring that sits between the bottom piece and the rest of the expansion chamber, it sits right on top of the holefor the bolt to go in... i hopethis makes sense. check to see if its broken or missing... once you have the chamber in two pieces, you can slide the color grip off the chamber itself. once youve done that, check for any broken seals. you also might want to unscrew the bottomline hose from the chamber, and apply teflon tape to the threads on the bottom line hose, this will seal the threads as to make sure it is not leakin from where the hose screws in. if all that fails then i dont no what to tellya. on a side note tho, when you screw in the bolt on the bottom of the chamber, do not overtighten it! the threads on the inside of the chamber strip easily... its made of aluminum and therefor will strip if you go nuts wit the tightening.
