I got an DOP xcore and I am having troubles the 90* elbow on my trigger frame isnt fitting with my hose. I was wondering what I need to do. It screws in half way then pops out.

Is it stripped? A shorter line or marco line will solve it for sure, but other
than that idk.

It's because the elbow that came on the gun's grip is not the same size as the hose you have. If you compare the stock hose to the one you bought for the chamber, you'll see there is a difference.

You need to buy a new elbow.

Putting teflon tape on all the fittings will stop the leaking hopefully/

Teflon lol.... If you put "Loctite" on there you wont get it off... Hence... "Lock tight"

Blue loctite isn't too much trouble to remove. Red takes some serious doing though.

Glad we could be of service.

You should try to keep some teflon handy, it's good for when you need to switch up any air fittings or if one springs a leak.
