Hey guys, There is a small hissing noise coming from my what sounds to be my valve when I have the roto-breech open. I checked the o-rings on my ram and they were fine. I took out the valve hammer/piston and it looks like there is a red piece on it. Could that piece be damaged? Also when I put it back together it stopped but then after a few shot it started hissing again. Any ideas? Thanks

For right now don't do anything to it. You just need to give the valve stem time to seat itself which will occur during a break-in process. If after 50-100 with paint you still hear a hissing, then get back to us. If not, congratulations on your purchase and enjoy your new baby.

Does the red seal on the valve stem looked 'gnarled' or as though it's been chewed? That red seal will begin to wear away and cause leaking after approximately 70k-75k (my experience). Thus the valve stem will need to be replaced.
If it's a new marker than as Talon stated, the marker just needs to be properly broken in from the factory.

Put two drops of oil in the macroline fitting on the minireg and dryfire 20-30 times. That should solve the problem.
