which way do the carriers go in? the side where when you look in it and the small metal part in the middle is closest to the end you are looking at or farthest away?

edit: the side closest to the end is also flat, when you turn it around so its farther away the inside is kinda funnel shaped, rather than flat.

ok i finally got everything figured out (a few hours ago) but i must say, this guide is very vague for people who have absolutely zero experience with mags... you might want to fix that

i got it to the stop leaking part but i ran out of air so it still isnt tuned but something kinda weird happened, it stopped leaking at the 2.5 carrier but still wouldnt shoot, so i put in the 3.0 carrier and it started leaking again and still wouldnt shoot, so i went back to the 2.5 and now its leaking . but then i put in a different bolt spring and it stopped. someone explain please...

oh yeah and my bolt springs are nothing like the ones you are talking about, theres a green one, a neutral kinda brown/grey one (not bronze) that is shiny, and a dusted silver one, but i dont have red, and green wasnt in this manual, so...

I broke everything up into sections, and gave details on exactly what to do.. What do you find about it confusing? The terms?

mainly the part where it says "drop the carrier in o-ring side first" and i didnt know which side was the o-ring side, or if it was reffering to the white or black o-ring. im pretty sure the white o-ring goes in the deeper, funnel shaped side of the carrier, but i still dont really know what i meant by vague was, you could explain what "the right way" and the "o-ring side" is.

The black O-ring is in the middle. Forget about that guy, you really dont need to worry about it.

The Carrier O-ring of which I spoke of from the beginning is the thick, white O-ring we are trying to tune.

This O-ring is the reason why you have to tune it. This O-ring is the Level 10. Forget abou everything. Think about the white O-ring.

The carrier will only accept the carrier O-ring from one side. That is the O-ring side. That is, the side of the carrier that has an indentation meant for the O-ring to be pushed into.

Once you figure it out, you can actually tune your Level 10 just by pushing the O-ring in the carrier and feeling it. If its too tight, you know that its(the carrier that is) too small. If its too loose, you know its too big.

oh, i see, ive had the carrier in backwards the whole time... that might explain a few things

the o-ring side is the shallow, flat side rather than the one i was talking about. but now, about those springs... do i have an older LX kit or something? (if you dont remember, i dont have a red or bronze spring, but instead a green and **** colored one) which one is medium and soft?

oh yeah, maybe thats the bronze one, i seem to remember something about bronze tarnishing to a green color... but its still kinda shiny, so iono. that would also mean that spring would actually have to be made out of bronze though, but it does look to be about that color. but there is still no red spring, so im really confused.

Color doesn't matter, all that matters is size and tension. I like to use the lightest bolt spring I can to get max RT effect.

but color clearly displays the tension, and its impossible to tell which one is stiffer by hand. they are both the same length (the silver one is longer than both though) is there some way i can test, like with velocity? i dont think the bolt spring affects velocty with mags though, is there any other way to tell?

perhaps alpha doesnt know something for once? nah j/k, everyone has their days...

strange... you should have one broze one (the shortest) one silver one (medium) and a red one (the longest)

you didn't buy your lvl 10 like.. used or something did you?

Correction-

Silver- longest
Red - Medium
gold/bronze- Small



anyway, are you sure you chave a rand new lvl10 kit, or a 2nd hand kit? it sounds like you have springs from older bolts. either way, go with the long silver, i know thats only avliable in the lvl10 kits.
