i see an oring, but when you connect the tombstone thing to that valve opening, how could it not leak? i tried plugging the tank in and it leaks out of the front of the vavle (to the barrel) and a small amount back down, how do i fix this? does anyone have a blow up of the a5 valve?

I think i understand. I would strip it down
and chack ALL the o-ring and seals if they
ok it could be ... Ehh

I think it is defanatly a seal but I don't fully
understand what you are saying because it
don't make sence

But might just be me!

basically when you plug the air in, most of it leaks to the barrel while a small amount leaks through the tombstone, none stays in

Oil the valve o-ring. Make sure the valve internals are in place too.
