Users of VSR10 gas bolt

Postby quigly » Sat Nov 27, 2010 6:32 pm

I got a gas bolt conversion today, and need some info on it. I was aware before i got it that it leaked and the o-rings needed to be soaked. Didn't seem like top big of a deal. So after heavily soaking the rings, it still leaked out the injection valve. I noticed that is was actually coming out the small hose like piece in the center of the valve. So I am stumped at this point. Is there another ring inside of there, or is a more serious problem. And I have googled it and searched and found nothing.

Fill valves have O-rings in them. Unscrew it and either replace, soak, teflon tape, or some combination of those. If that doesn't work, try replacing it (the whole fill valve) with one from a GBB.

How do I unscrew it? I am new to the world of valves and don't want to screw it up.

Do they have a notch cut in it? Like so:

Insert screw driver, and unscrew them...

No, it's not one of those valves. Here is a pic.

Well, than I have no idea. I would be shocked if that valve was molded into the bolt...

Can anyone tell me what kind of valve that is, how I can take it out, and where I can find one?

I got that valve out. It appears to be a normal valve just with out the notch for a screw driver. I replaced it with a normal valve, but it is still leaking around the valve. I'm going to try to put some teflon tape around it to see if that helps.

Tell me how is turns out, and by the way can you give me the website you bought that conversion kit from.
