to anyone who owns a Sim-4 w/ a mag kit upgrade.

i just recently got my sim-4 from an online store and within a few weeks of owning and meagre playing my gun suddenly developed a fearsom leak from around the large screw where the mag kit connects to where the ASA should be. Because the mag kit came preassembled from the dealer the manual has no info on this area and my inexperience in paintballing leaves me at a loss.
If any one can help I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome to PBreview, Since your leak is coming from the adapter that screws into the marker you should carefully remove the hose(I underlined carefully because this is a known area for breaks.) Once removed, you should remove any sealant there may be on the threads of the fitting. After that reapply a sealant such as Teflon or Plumbers tape(which you can find at any hardware store.) to the threads, and reassemble. Remember the fitting can easily break without warning. Do it slow and don't rush things. After you are done gas the marker up and you should have no more leaks.
