wait is the prostock e-bladed? I can't remember... too many names

what kind of oil did you use? Check the rest of the reg. Look at regulator guides on the worr site.

i used gun oil and the prostock is not e bladed

It sounds to me like its an O-ring...where exactly is the air coming from?

**paintthecatBLUE** · June 27th, 12:13 PM

are you talking about the lpr or the inline reg? if its the stock inline reg i would suggest buying a new one anyways, they arent very good. and as for the lpr, we would need to know where the leak is coming from to help you any. if the o-rings look fine and you lubed them and it is still leaking, i would bet its leaking from the hose or the threads of the barb.

Where is it leaking from? My stock one did the same thing to me and I could never figure out why, I ended up just buying a new Shocktech Bomb 3-way, which by the way, is awesome.

I was using Co2 at the time also, the only thing I can think of is some liquid Co2 hit those o-rings and perma-shrunk them so they do not make a good seal in the cylinder of the 3-way.

how often do u change the o rings in the 3 way shaft ???

**CoolHipJim56** · June 27th, 04:26 PM

I never do, I don't see a reason to as long as it's working correctly. Just like any o-ring. But since it seams yours are leaking, you might want to see if you can pick some up at your local proshop, or for that matter, just pick yourself up a new 3-way, the stock one is trash anyway.

im going to buy the shocktech bomb 3 way like wat u said

**CoolHipJim56** · June 27th, 04:36 PM

Great choice, make sure you put a LITTLE vasiline or gun oil on the o-rings before putting it in the cylinder, just to fight against friction eating the o-rings. It even comes with some extras incase you mess a few up.

The o-rings are really big and beefy, so you will always get a nice, tight fit.

**btgarber** · June 27th, 04:37 PM

even with co2 ???

**CoolHipJim56** · June 27th, 04:40 PM

Yep, even with Co2. As long as you get it anti-siphoned, you should be fine in the o-ring department for a while.

**btgarber** · June 27th, 04:42 PM

is the 3 way hard to install???

**CoolHipJim56** · June 27th, 04:51 PM

Nope, all you have to do is take off the hoses, you might have to take the LPR off so the 3-way can unscrew becuase the barbs might get in the way, just make sure when you put the LPR back in, you use Teflon tape on the threads. Unscrew the 3-way, then get yourself an allen key and take the stock 3-way rod off the actuating collar, then screw the new 3-way on, put the new 3-way rod on the actuating collar, put the LPR back on, and then put the hoses back on. Make sure you re-time the gun after this too.

I am pretty sure Shocktech provides a picture on how to put the hoses.
