Hi guys,

My bolt is leaking out of the flat ring pictured below. Where can I find a replacement? I've been to 3 paintball shops and was told I'm SoL.

I bought an SLG O-Ring kit and it didn't have it. Anyone know where I can find this flat rubber ring? Or can I replace this bolt with a bolt from another marker that doesn't have this flat ring issue?

I did some more research and discovered this part is called the Front Bolt Bumper. This is not included in some o-ring kits. I have found a website that sells them.

I doubt that is where its leaking from. Its just a bumper to soften the impact of the bolt firing back. Heck I've run mine without one before. When you gas it up, does it leak down the barrel? I would bet your plunger oring is shot or you have the wrong size on it.

Hmm... you bring up a good point. I call it a leak, though not by classic definition. What's happening is that ever since the bumper got bad, the marker has been going through air really quick. I use a 3000 psi tank on this marker and it used to easily last through 2 recball games, but now it barely lasts through one. So basically the air efficiency has gone down a lot. So my thought was the marker was throwing out more air per shot. Does that make sense? Or have I misdiagnosed the air efficiency issue?
