My Maverick is leaking Co2 down the barrel, any ways to fix it? Thanks!


Thanks for all the help guys but before the GOOD messages came along I got impatient and went to my local paintball store

tighten EVERYTHING

[mork321]

That's what I was thinking, but the only I've actually played around with is the bolt

[mork321]

just did it and it's still leaking. Do you know of any websites that might help?

[Thor the Mighty]

www.f4og.com might have an artical but if not you can go on a chat thing there maybe

[mork321]

Ummm.... the F-4 website had nothing, I tightened everything. What now?!

[Thor the Mighty]

be afraid, be very affraid

jk

try calling aci and maybe even sending it into them

I only have an F4 TP but when I switched bolts mine was leaking down the barrel too. I don't know if your Mav is the same as mine but I replaced the o-rings on the bolt and everything was fine.

Later and good luck.

Nope I know it's not the bolt cause I just removed the valve and attached the Co2 and that is where it's leaking

[AJPAINT]

do you cock it before you engage the co2 ?that causes it to leak down the barrel

[mork321]

nope

Hi guys,

If you tighten everything and make sure that everyhting has teflon tape and it still leaks then ---------

Down the barrel is cup seal - usually needs to be replaced
Farting is the Hammer (striker) O-ring

-Farting is the Hammer (striker) O-ring. Usually Oil helps alot, if
-not replace it.


Bolt O-rings are buffers and dont seal.


good Luck

Have you tried firing a few(dry shots)? My F4 will leak slowly if it's just been cleaned. A few shots will fix the leak for me.

Are any of the seals damaged?

Hey guys,

Leaking down the barrel is ususally caused by the cup seal assembly, located in the area below the barrel or behind the Low Pressure Chamber (under the barrel). Its white in color and some times you can resurface (rub in a circular motion on a sheet of typing paper or 800 grit sandpaper, until smooth) the face that makes contact to the valve or just replace it.

Be careful not to loose the little star washer (spring guide), its very important as a spacer.

Making sure the gun is tight is great but also make sure its well lubricated.

Good Luck

If you FOOLS didn't notice, I already went and got it fixed cause none of the GOOD messages showed up.

This case could be considered closed but for future reference, be sure you morons know what you are talking about before you go spoutin off a whole bunch of BS. Reply after reply came back showing that half of you know nothing about the Maverick or that you were even dealing with a pump class gun! Talkin about LP chambers and crap, LOL.:laugh:
