I find it funny that after we talked about that hiss just two days ago, I get it this Sunday.
I was out playing on a new field sunday, so I was stoked, no problems with my alias at all till the last round, I shoot about 2 cases of paint. The last round I am playing back center with another kid and off the break I get one shoot and then nothing, look down red dot on the virtue.... turn off my hopper and turn it back on 2 shakes were in action, figure it was a halo issue mabey it sat to long idol. Got up shoot one rope and same problem.
At this point I just want to shoot so I turn the eyes off and finish the round. get home break it down and clean everything stupid eyes, q-tip found a paint ball shell piece about half the size of the eye got lodged in there...:mad:
Gassed the gun back up and i hear a small hiss... degas it, pop open the ram sleeve, pop out the ram, inspect the o-rings, nothing there but change them anyway re lube and drop in, slap on the ram cap. replace the bolt air it up, same hiss....:confused:
I put my finger inside the bolt tube and play around with the bolt, still stiff. put my finger over the bolts hole and it was muffled.
I don't have another ram sleeve to swap it out with, usually changing the o-rings and re lubing has always fixed this problem in the past. Any other suggestions guys? I have an Engram ( spelling) ram coming in the mail, mabey I should just wait and drop that bad boy in and see if its the ram:confused:

Could it be your poppet leaking by? It could be dirty from playing all day and it would sound different when you put your finger in there to check the bolt.

Probably just the poppet o-ring in need of some lube.
