Leak From ASA

chopper duke · 08-14-2011, 10:16 PM

I got a VM68 recently and as soon as I attempted to screw a tank in, it started leaking and venting from the ASA rather quickly.

Any idea as to the cause of this?

Tank oring is shredded?

No. I even tried putting in a Remote setup and it started venting from there as well.

Pressing the pin too early maybe? I think the ASA is a little deeper than usual. Try sticking an o-ring inside the asa to seal the tank earlier. I had to do that to get the expansion chamber I have on mine to seal.

I may try that. I've got an expansion chamber around here somewhere and plenty of O-Rings. I just think I blew through most of my tank though.

Well, I dropped an o-ring into the ASA and then put an expansion chamber on it. I ran a piece of macro from the expansion chamber to an on/off and checked it. No leaks and it sounded very strong!

Now to figure out a way to run a bottom line. I think I've got it figured out but I need a small part.

I got one of the intruder asa's that I stuck in the bottom of my lonestar grip. With a screw through the holes and some paper wedged in with it, it holds pretty well. Actually balances quite nicely with my 68/45.

Where can I find one of those?

What .45 frame fits on these?

The phantom 45 fits and has standard bottom line holes.
