*im gonna post this in the icd section in the armory too*

hi, new to bushmasters and i just scored one for $30 dollars off ebay and it has a significant leak down the barrel, does cycle and click (dont know velocity, if anyone is selling a used chrono im interested). i have not found any exploaded view of this gun online so i dont know where to start and look for the issue.

Leaks down the barrel are always leaks from the valve. I would venture a guess that the valve body o-rings have deteriorated.

Think of the gun like a Spyder, just with a ram instead of a hammer, and an LPR instead of a volumizer.

Okay thanks that's what I figured from reading the manual. How do I tank lpr off so I can get to the valve?

They are a bear to get off. Don’t expect to pull it without marring the hell out of the stock one, especially if it’s never been off. You can try some silicone oil around the lip and tap at it with a small rubber mallet or handle of a screwdriver to a while to try and work it loose enough to turn.

wrap some thick cloth, leather and rubber around it and grab it with a vice or with vice grips. They're not the easiest thing to remove.
