As the title states I have a leak from the rear of the snatch pin. I have replaced all of the pin's o-rings and relubed it. When I put the stock pin back in no leak so it has to be one of the o-rings but which one is my question.
I am new to the Quest so please be patient with me I tried the search but could not find anything.
Thanks in advance The Giant

just use the o rings you wouldhave recieved with the gun, replace each one by one until you find the bad oring.

It may be the screw in the back of the pin (under the jewled logo) is not in all the way or is leaking. Sometimes after a while, enough lube will gunk it up so it stops leaking. You can take the little jewel off and put in an allen wrench to adjust it. Put it in too far and it cuts off all the air. Too far out and it will leak. You may have to use teflon paste on it to, or FEP recommends loctite.

So I talked to Rich @FEP yesterday and he told me that the last groove on the snatch pin can by a little deep sometimes and to replace the #17 o-ring with a #19 and problem solved.
Great Customer service, I couldn't be happier with them.
