I’ve got one here he has worked on and it’s incredible what he has done, I’ve no affiliation with him other than seen/used/owned some of his work, cracking fella and I’ve yet to hear a bad word about his work, am sure you will be chuffed with the results, are you having any tune work done or just a repair ?

Time will tell , I’ve got it back from air fective, put it away in the cabinet on a full fill on Thursday afternoon, went to get it out last night & it’s dropped 30 bar ! So after a quick test it’s sprung a leak on the reg gauge, I nipped it up before heading off out last night, it shot well , filled it up last night when I got in & I there may still well be a small leak , not what I was expecting after paying £207.95 for a service / tune & a few bits replaced, and after been on a so called leak test before being sent back , I will be checking it again in the morning before contacting Liam regarding this matter !

Sounds like its still leaking not god news mate ,specily after forking out  200+ notes .

Try and keep with it because they are great guns in FAC or sub 12 

I had a small leak on the crown + trigger sticking on second stage , phoned Tony up at ASI  and told me take it back to your RFD we will pick it up and sort it .

Came back a week later all done

That’s not good and surprised to hear that, get on his case mate and see what he has to say about it.

[vizlauk 1,568]

I will be giving him a call when he opens at 10 this morning, it’s definitely leaking , worst about it , it wasn’t leaking when it was sent down for work ! It’s dropped about 15 bar since Friday night !

If it's sub 12, is it ok to fill to 250 bar?

FAC and I think its ok in sub 12 as well

[vizlauk 1,568]

Found the leak ! So much for a good service

[villaman 9,979]

Not good Sean , what are you going to do ask for your money back?

[vizlauk 1,568]

Being on the phone to Liam at air festive, who has apologised! He has said it's a main valve leak , even though he fitted a brand new main valve , along with other bits, to tell the truth I've lost all confidence in them, he has said to get it sent back down to him & he will fix it ! And refund the costs involved getting it to him !

I'm thinking , ( why was this not picked up on the leak test ? ) I know it's a slow leak , but I noticed it , I'm going repair it myself, at least I know what it is & I will test it afterwards, really isn't the service I was expecting after being recommend ,

Well frankly I’m very surprised  to hear he missed a leak, not the sort of service I have heard about him, but I guess it happens to the best.

I agree he should have picked up on it leaking, but if he has offered to repair it FOC and pay all postage costs, I can’t see what else he could offer.

Has the original power  problem been sorted Now ?

[vizlauk 1,568]

Power issue is sorted , I will sort it myself

And the fu-cker is still leaking- going to the rfd on Monday to order a new valve seat & oring , if that doesn’t fix it then I’m breaking it for spares
