Not sure who still makes twist lock barrels, but Lapco still has autospirits for them and I'm sure PTP would have some.
Used would be the way to go for twist-lock barrels, I'd check out AO.

Or you could always get Doc's 'Mag to 'Cocker barrel adapter...

The underboring is highly likely to be the problem.

Running a second reg that has a slow recharge rate will delay the recharge of the valve. Since the valve recharge is what resets the trigger, you may experiance lagginess and shoot-down if you attempt higher rates of fire...
When I say slow recharge rate, you have to take into account that the 'mag valves recharge in like .02 seconds or something rediculous like that. So even if the reg you have outputs a full recharge in a quarter of a second it will be too slow. It will limit the firing speed to the reg recharge rate. That is how you can starve the valve.

And please, don't say that is rediculous, when I used to own an ION I could time the reg recharge on my watch... ::No dodgy::
So if I had a input of 180psi, literally if I shot more than 1 ball a second it would be shooting at about 140 psi, which is considrable shoot-down. And if I compensated the pressure for this it would shoot too hot on the first shot and thus be dangerous. So, yeah...
If I put that reg on my 'mags they would refuse to operate...
You might be able to get away with a Palmer's Stabalizer if you shoot CO2, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Oil for the o-rings and stuff. The only thing that needs grease is the set of 2 springs in the regulator body. You must remove the velocity nut to remove them. They are greased to keep them from rusting and to keep them moving freely. Any binding in the reg springs and the valve will not recharge correctly and you will experience problems.

Ugh, back to the leaking again. I took the gun outside to shoot some paint noticed leaking again. Same thing as before. I think I'll have to try the spacers again.

That sucks. The spacer you use should be the biggest one you can get without leaking. Sometimes over time the o-ring can shrink and wear out, so if you move one size spacer down it could solve the issue.

BTW, did you go to LL2?

Thanks, I'll have to try that next week. I'll be diagnosing my Automag and ION then.

Yeah, I was there. I was directly across from TechPB at the tables (next to Team WOW). I was hanging with the A5OG and X7OG most of the time. Meeting people that I've wanted to for a long time now. Next time I wanna hang with you guys.

Actually, now that you mention it, I don't have a nameplate for my back. I only have one on the front. I'll have to get one now.

Where is the leak coming from?

When you air it up and take a few shots does it leak?
When you hold down the trigger does it leak?
Is it a fitting outside the marker itself?
does your marker leak then seal itself, then leak again?

Woops, forgot to give an update here. I changed out the spacer one more time and I think the leak is gone. I haven't put the gun through its paces yet but it might be gone for now.

It was leaking directly out the barrel when the gun is at rest, with or w/o a ball loaded. Firing some clearing shots also did not make a difference. The leak was constant. But like I was saying, I think I got the spacer right this time. Not sure why it went back to leaking like that, though.

Great links Eskimo! I can't remember what I did with my old VHS of that. Nice find.
