NEW A5 .... problems?

Hello everyone,

 I bought a A5 Marker on October 5th, got it in the mail on October 12th... when I first tested the gun, air was leaking out from the trigger, safety hole.... 
    so I sent it back to TIPPMANN and they repaired it. Today I received the gun and went to test it to see if all was well... Now where the ASA attach's, air was now leaking from there...

 I don't know if the gun is just defective as a whole or am I doing something wrong....

I'm most likely going to have to send it back to TIPPMANN but any help is appreciated.

 Thanks

 Vincent

I have the remote ASA connectory, with the little valve that opens and closes the CO2, but sure exactly what an O-Ring is though

The o-ring is a plastic or rubber ring that fits around the piece that you screw into the marker's asa to get the air flowing to the marker. They're about $.10, but are a very important seal. If it's chipped, broken, or missing, then the air-source won't seal against the ASA and you'll have a leak like you are describing.

thing is, the air is leaking where the connector to the handle is not where the actually CO2 connects to..

no, its leaking from the handle part, not the valve connection, the air is leaking out of the handle.....

but theres no air leaking near the steel braided hose, just on the handle itself coming out where the seperate gap between the asa and handle is.

I know... thats why i dont understand how air is coming from there because if i can feel it coming directly from there.

ill try that,, cross my fingers

Have you tried oiling it recently? put a few drops in the ASA and dry fire the sucker with some CO2 attached. It just may be some dirt or something on the seal, or just a dry seal.
