My X7 seems to be leaking near the magazine clip/tombstone. When i take out the tombstone, the small o-ring on it is perfectly fine and there are no holes in any of the tubes. When I put co2 in the marker, it seems fine for 5 seconds until it then leaks or when I shoot the X7 then it leaks continuosly. Could someone help me with this, thank you. ------------- Tippmann X7 Flatline Barrel Response Trigger 15 bps 14" quite rifled barrel Vertical Folding Grip Laser Sight V Force Pro Vantage Mask |

I would guess the tombtone is leaning away from the o-ring and breaking the seal. Used to happen on my A5 if the hose was putting alot of pressure that pulled on the tombstone. Can you adjust your hose setup any so there isnt as much force on the tombstone? If not, you could try cutting up a piece of paper to stick on the back side of the tombstone as a shim to really force it in there against the o-ring. -------------

I went to the local paintball store and they said that the valve is broken inside the marker. So im having them replace the valve with a new one. Hopefully i'l be good as new. Thanks for the help Enos. ------------- Tippmann X7 Flatline Barrel Response Trigger 15 bps 14" quite rifled barrel Vertical Folding Grip Laser Sight V Force Pro Vantage Mask |
