I just bought my A5 about a month ago; and I've only brought it out to the field twice.  I was installing a double trigger; and I tried out the pen spring mod; which worked great...untill I gassed up my marker.

I screwed the CO2 in; and I could hear it running right through my gun, and out the barrel.  I cocked it; and I could hear the air leaking from somewhere around my FVA, or tombstone.  I tried another CO2 bottle; and I tried it both with, and without my remote... No change.  I can't figure out what's wrong!

I just ripped apart my marker; and tried oiling all the Orings (including the valve one); and still no change...

I'm sure you guys won't know what it is with the limited information I've given you; but maybe you could lead me through some kind of trouble shooting?

generally when I get that leak I'm low on air.

Put oil on your finger and wipe it across the face of the tombstone.

oil it like The Guy said but you should always cock your marker before you gas it up. oil it. cock it, then gas it. see if that works

Turns out the valve Oring just needed oil...I freaked out pretty bad though; I thought I messed up something involving the receiver halves when I was playing with my grip.

glad to hear. make sure you cock the marker before you gas it up from now on also.
