I'm reall new to paintballing, so I haven't been able to understand what the posts similar to my problem have been talking about. I just bought a Spyder Compact 2000 from a friend at school. He gave me a new barrel, a c02 tank and a bunch of paintballs with it. When I first used it, I thought i heard air leaking out of the area around the bolt. I plugged up the barrel with my hand, and the leak wasn't going out through there. I ignored it, and today I bought an "Upgrade Kit" that included an expansion chamber, bottomline, regulator, and drop forward. Now the leak is starting to bug me. Can anyone tell me, in laymans terms, how to find out what's wrong and fix it? Alrighty, I just opened it up to take a look at what's inside. I took a look at the black piece below the bolt (striker?) to see that it has a broken O ring. I replaced it with one I had downstairs. There is a washer (striker buffer?) that goes behind the black piece that I have trouble getting back in. Do I have to remove the grip to get it back in? I piece it together and the washer was not pushed all the way forward, and it wouldn't cock all the way. Help!
