Ok i need some help with my mini. I practically stole it for 100 bucks.

Well bottom line is it has a leak somewhere its not close to the handle it is up in the well the part the barrel screws in somewhere in that area. All the o rings look ok to me. What would be some likely causes? Please help

Also i love this gun alot. I bought an A5 and dropped abuncha cash on it tryin to make it what i wanted and i found this for sale for 100 bucks with a tank and a hopper and i love this gun! only problem is the leak i mentioned and i need a new barrel.

Now i have no real complaints with the stock barrel but....I need more range i play woods ball.

I was a 12 inch or shorter barrel for it that is QUIET and ACCURATE and it has to be able to take an APEX2 TIP.

Thanks for any help.

I found the lapco 12 inch but ive heard bad things about them.

Try screwing in the velocity adjust all the way in to seat the poppet. After doing so unscrew it about 3 turns. Then air it up and see if that stops the leak. Worst case scenario you may just need an oring overhaul and/or replace the poppet.

__________________

3 turns out from seated is quite a bit. You may want to try about 3/4 turn out to start. If it leaks after resetting the poppet, try to listen very carefully for the leak. If it sounds like it is near the feed neck area you may need a new poppet. If it is more from the handle area it could be a bolt guide o-ring or the solenoid.

ok thanks but is their a youtube video on how to do this cause im not good with working on things?

Also the little gauge on the handle whats it suppose to be on when i have a tank in it?

The gauge on the mini should go to 200 psi and no higher. The velocity adjust is at the back cap. You should see a big allen key spot to adjust it with. There are several Mini videos on Youtube.

The guage should not be over 200psi. Let us know if you need a manual because they are available online.

ok well it was over 200 psi and i shot a few hoppers full before i found out about that....um do you think i hurt the gun? And is that why its leaking?

I would reseat the poppet first then air it up and turn it down to 200 psi. You may have to dry fire it to get the psi down and to make sure it sits at 200 psi. To dry fire it you will have to power it up with the eyes off. Hold the trigger down while turning it on and it will power on with the eyes off.
