Is this a leak or what?

[*={DA}=*Fishy78]

When ever i plug in the Co2, i can hear my gun have a gas sound running through the gun at all times. u can call me a stupid noobie, but just on teh safe side, is that normal>? i got an A-5, and i wasnt sure. I didnt notice it until i shot it in teh backyard. Maybe i wasnt paying attention, but it's got that sound like gas running through the gun at all times, like a shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *inside gun*

check the asa, ex chamber (if u have one), etc. All the places where Co2 is involved. Teflon comes in handy.

did you cock it before you put on the tank?

is the tank screwed in all the way?

listening to it does the air come out the barrel or from underneath?

check the oring in the valve where the tombstone fits into it. make sure it is seated rite. also you can check the oring for the tombstone itself. make sure you are oiling your marker put some drops in the asa

same exact thing happend to my 98c, put 3 or 4 drops of oil into the asa(where the tank screws in if u dont know) plug in your co2 and shoot. its that simple

yea that's what I used to do....it started leaking through the tombstone, it sounded like, and I took the whole gun apart, cleaned it, oiled it, then re-assembled it and it worked normal....but last time I played it did the same thing, so I cleaned it and oiled it and it didn't work this time....I'm about through with tippmann though....if all their guns do that over time than I don't want it....

that same thing happened to me but i use comp. air, i just had to relace the valve o-ring

washer first then the oring, the tombstone holds it all in place.

just a friendly reminder from the A5OG. also join up to the A5OG.com and ask there they will be alot more helpful

whats up dude alright well replace o-rings evrywhere u can. teflon tape all the air hose fittings. if all else fails it may be the cup seal.
