Don't use CO2.

Assuming this wasn't with CO2, try taking a couple shots. Spool valves sometimes leak when you first air them up, just taking a shot or two often fixes it.

It was compressed air. But shot it a few times, still was leaking. (I bought it used). Took it to a paintball store, found out an o-ring on the bolt was chipped. Stupid me. Too bad they guy that sold it to me didn't send o-rings or lube xD.

yeah thatl do it lol.

if you didn't find it out i would have mentioned that the pressure might have been too low. too low of a pressure and the seals don't seal and well, leaks out the back cap.

There's no "duckbill" on matrix bolts. "Duckbill" is the term for a generic style ASA, such as the one that comes on stock Ions. I believe what you're thinking of is the "stem".

I didn't think there was. I just went with the duckbill as it sounded like the area from which it was chipped.

Part numbers? What are you talking about? You call it the "Stem", no numbers involved...
