Hey all,

So, I loaned my Sniper to a buddy. He returned it and told me the gauge wasn't working. When I tried to air it up, it started leaking from the ASA. If I switch the ASA on, the marker airs up, but the gauge jumps to something right off the scale. I've tried adjusting the reg; the needle on the gauge moves, but it's off the scale. Even at minimum, the needle sits around 300 PSI.

Is it the gauge, or do I have to pull the whole damn thing apart and start looking for a blown o-ring?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

if you zeroed out the gauge and its still showing over 300 psi then youll have to replace the gauge. as for the asa if its not a major leak then drop some oil into it.
