Alright installed the r/t bout 2 months ago and its been working great. I just got done playing today and nocitced that not only is my gun getting extremely cold on the foregrip but also the r/t line on the outside of the gun, the bolt is frosting over. Now im running a remote, so i figured the co2 would be down because its like an anit syphone. Any possiblities, bad o-ring?

Your right, the remote is ONLY like a anti siphon, but its not, sure it will help ALITTLE but wont stop the liquid going up into your gun.  I suguest you buy a GTA Expanstion chamber and that will greatly reduce your problem.  Also getting an anti siphon tube in your tank will help, but only if it is propertly installed.

If your too cheap for that, then you could always wrap your tank with a sock, and put hand warmers in with the tank ...

Any of those, or all of those will help your problem

A remote line will not eliminate liquid Co2 siphoning. When you shoot fast the liquid rapidly boils and creates co2 steam which is just liquid co2 vapor which does what the liquid does.

An expansion chamber or stabalizer will greatly help. A sock or handwarmers will not. An anti-siphon with remote wont help but make it worse.

alright, im following with the remote and anti siphone, but i didnt have the problem till just weekend, on a 20oz tank i could get at least 1000 shots off, now im getting probablly around 500 to 750, seems like a lot more co2 is going through the gun causing the freezing. The wierd thing is, the gun hasnt locked up during this, i can just keep firing until  the paintballs start diving quick,

You're sucking liquid CO2 into your gun without it expanding into gas which makes it less efficient. Get an anti siphon, expansion chamber or Stabilizer.
