OK, ive been trying to get this mag going forever. i oiled it up and intalled the LVL10 and its just not pressurizing the trigger correctly. like the sear isnt reaching the on/off or somthing. any help here would be greatly appreciated.

heres the youtube link:

is that co2 tank empty?

[bolt-action]

nope. it may be getting close though. Ill update this when i get my HPA back from hydro.

When you install the lvl 10 kits it ups the amount of pressure you need to fire the gun, try increasing the pressure at the back of the gun

yeah i turned up the velocity and it starts leaking out the back when i turn it up too much. too much being pretty darn high. the reg seat o-ring is in great shape BTW.

what part of nh are you from, I'm heading off to AG this saturday, if you come I wouldnt be against fiddling around with it.

Try using a shorter (thus weaker) bolt spring, as thor said the lvl 10 requires higher air pressure then a lvl 7 to work and sometimes when using a lvl 10 on a classic valve the pressure relief in the back can be too weak and start venting at a lower pressure then the lvl 10 needs to cycle, a shorter spring should lower the pressure needed (but be a little harder on paint) if it doesn't work though you may need to get a new regulator piston, no big deal really.

Does it work fine with the lvl 7 bolt? If so it's your brass reg piston. The older ones aren't designed to take the amount of pressure needed to operate a lvl 10. You'll need to replace it. You can temp fix it till your new piston reg gets in. Here's a link to the fix. You can try using the gold bolt spring. That sometimes works but if it doesn't, replacing the piston is your only option.

I'm the one that posted the thread/video so if you have any questions let me know. Best if you post your questions on the BE forums so all questions will be in one location. Takes 2 seconds to register so

As stated on the BE forums it's best to replace the piston itself but this will get your marker rolling till the new one comes in.

I've tried every spring i've got and none seem to make a difference. somtimes the trigger will fully pressurize and i can shoot it once or twice and then it goes limp again (like in the video).

I haven't tried it with the old bolt yet. cant remember how to uninstall the LVL 10, lol. Ill take a look at that link in a few. sounds like I may need a new reg piston.

It was'nt working with my HPA tank even when it was at 1200psi. I noticed the output pressure on the tank is only 800 psi, is 800 enough to run a mag? i thought i read somewhere on here that it had to be 850-1000.

Thanks for the responses. mega appreciated.

naw, I'm going up there saturday, sunday's mothersday and the parental unit would kill me if I paintballed on mothersday.

[DMex]

You'll be perfectly fine running it at 800.
Unscrew your PT tip and removed everything out of it. Here's a pic.


Then install your lvl 7 guts into the PT. Should have a oring at the bottom, then your spacer and finally the PT tip.

ooooh yeah. is Sat BYOP?

[jacobd]

Yeah 800PSI is plenty classics will run acceptably down to about 600PSI.
Let us know what the lvl 7 does, I'm thinking you need a new reg piston.

I believe it is, canobie and ag changed their policy last year so that it was byop of gun owners both days.

[bolt-action]

OK. installed brand new regulator piston from AGD and still wont fire. is it possible that the sear needs to be adjusted? the gun is fully pressurizing now but i pull the trigger and get nothing. the on/off o-rings are all in great shape.

any ideas?
