i recently purchased a used RT and double trigger from a friend, installed them, and now i have a leaky co2 feed. i tried tightening the feed in the main part of the gun, but this caused the part where you attach the co2 to be out of alignment from the bottom of my gun. Im not really sure what to do. ive field stripped the damn thing like 12 times trying to fix it...

If it is on the end that goes into the marker, you most likely stripped the threads on the valve.

If it is on the ASA, try some Teflon tape.

You most likely stripped the threads in the valve, but I cannot confirm that without looking at it or having pics of the valve threads.

If your valve threads are stripped, you are looking at getting a new valve body.

Nowhere that sells parts like that is going to be open before Tuesday.

If your local proshop is open tomorrow you might check to see if they have a  whole new replacement...

But I cannot confirm that that is even your problem without more info.
