well another alias issue.... LEAK FROM FEEDNECK/BOLT AREA.
Well I took lurker and everyone elses advice, used the lurker method and tried to get my gun shooting over 240. Since I took the poppit spring out before going to the field and its super windy outside, I was unable to try putting it back it, but it NEVER even shot without the spring in. Now with that said, I apparently over pressurized at some point or something. The alias is now leaking VERY BAD through the bolt and out of the feedneck/ down the barrel.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Updated: it was the poppit spring, not the lpr spring. Frustrated when originally posted and was not paying attention.

Down the barrel leaks are either:
1) Ram o-rings, change them out.
2)Poppet valve o-ring, change it.
3)Cup seal is damaged so inspect it for damage/indents, things of that nature
I would do these step by step and see what it is. It may just be the ram o-rings or poppet valve o-ring.

You should not be taking out the LPR spring, you need that to be able to adjust the LPR...

I'm confused why would you take lpr spring out? When did this become an even remotely good idea

You need to know the difference...
I highly recommend you read the manual and do research before trying to much more on your marker.

I do apologize, I am not good with terminology especially after I drove an hour to a field, to be there 5 mins before my guns blows air out of the feedneck to drive an hour back. I was highly upset when I posted my original post and had to leave it be and now come back to the gun. But yes I apologize, it is the poppit sping.
Nevermind, took the bumper off of the eigen and put in on the stock ram.

Well I put the original ram in and the poppit spring back in, and it is shooting fine, I guess I will have to wait to use the eigenram until I get the spring from lurker. Sorry for the thread guys, was just a little ticked/worried earlier today after driving an hour to go play and couldnt lol.

YOu might have been seeing the valve float that I and others mentioned where your poppit ended up not centered and was stuck open.

that is probably what it was, thats why I just tried the stock ram and spring and it is working perfectly, so until I buy the other spring from lurker that is going to be my best route i believe (running stock). When I first aired it up it was floating, then shot a couple times, then it just blew air like stated above, so that is likely what it was. Appreciate all the help guys.

I just dont understand why people see the needs for "upgrades" the headache is just not worth it in most cases.
