: Here's the problem. I take it out for a game tonight, gas it up and its leaking down the barrel. Had a similar thing happen to me, though I had never ran any paint through it or dry fire more than 100 times !MAX!. I tried everything oiled it, even though there was evidence of sufficient oil (exhaust port a little wet), regassed/degassed/regulator setting(bottle reg)/on-off-on and no joy... I fixed it accidentally by opening and closing the breech one time and heard a click when doing so (seemed like the rod sticking out the side pushed something back into alignment/place). I gassed her up and wala no leak... If you dry fire the Speed it seems that the bolt does not always go back all the way so that you can open the breech. You degas the marker and wiggle your finger down past the barrel threads and push it back far enough to open the breech... I did this a number of tiems and then the leak appeared. I opened the breech while trying to debug the problem and when I closed it click/snap (very little force) and the ?ram? seemed to be moved ?back/forward? into a new position and the leak stopped... Sorry I cannot help you with a better description...I posted this problem on the TAG forum with hardly any repsonses in two days. So it might be a very rare problem. I also read that it might be the ram that needs repair. As I wrote, I solved it by accident. It took about two hours after the leak started. No response as of yet on the fix that I posted on the TAG forum as well.
