I recently aquired two at2k's. I modded one and then when I took out the internals of the other one it had a leak, it seemed to be coming from the front "barrel" part. Does anyone know what could have happened? It had worked before I took the internals out.

You probably just got some kind of debris in the valve. Point it downward, pump once or twice and fire. Repeat a few times.

Yes your probably right. My friend gave it too me and it was covered in dirt. He said it was in his garage for 4 years.

I've found that a good way to revive older valves such as the one at the end of the 2k tank is to spray it with a silicon lubricant. The one thing you want to make sure of is that it's a rubber safe lubricant and won't damage the valve. But that should breathe some life into your valve. Try the other method too though, I've never tried it, but it seems as if it should work.

By the way, if you choose to spray the valve with silicon lubricant, just be careful, because that's what your first few shots are going to smell like.
