ok so I got the new poppit and everything looks good there, he leak from the barrel is gone. Now I have another leak this time coming from between the body and ram sleeve right behind the set screw that holds the sleeve in place. My first guess is of course the oring for the ram sleeve.

Now I had ordered an oring kit from oringmonkey and it came in and I replaced every oring in the gun. When it comes to the ram sleeve oring, the manual states its a size 015 but is a u-shape one which the original was. The kit did not come with a u-cup oring so I put a regular 015 in there and now I have the leak. I tried a thicker one and still a leak. Is the u-cup that vital that it might be causeing a leak?

ok nvm i figured it out. I somehow managed to find the original ucup 015 in the trash and put it back in and the leak is gone.

-015 ucup is the same as a -112.

ty. im sure you guys are getting sick of me by now, but i almost have this thing perfect. last problem

the leak from the barrel is fixed (new poppit)
the leak from the ram sleeve is fixed (correct orings)

Now I have a leak coming from where the front block slides into the body. when it is aired up, if I wiggle the front block around the leak gets louder and quieter. I tried tightening the set screw holding it in, new orings, lube, no lube, loosening the set screw, nothing seems to work. Only way I can get it to stop is putting an oring over between the front block and the body, but I cant get the set screw to sit properly when I do that and dont trust it.

The inside of the body and the front block shaft itself look fine. No deep scratches or gouges or anything that would cause a leak.

Any suggestions?

Sleeve oring.

[gainman]

well, thats def not it ive replaced it twice. plus the leak is coming from between the front block and body, not the sleeve and body.

[Big-Matty]

Not coming from barb attached to front block? Other wise it can really only be a oring issue.

[gainman]

its def not the barb. i agree that it has to be orings, but i replaced them 4 times =( the leak is on the passenger side of the gun right where the front block and body meet. if i grab the front block and move it around it changes pitch and intensity. im using the right sized orings, guess ill have to try a bigger one.

[Big-Matty]

Thats pretty much where I was going to go next, what size are you using? I feel bad that you're having to go through this much trouble to get it rolling but once it's dialed in it's an AK, little maintenance with much fun!

[gainman]

well the gun has been used 2 days of play in a row now without any problems. thanks for the help guys, this thing has been a good project. I feel i could do anything with a timmy now.

this will be up for sale soon.
