What's the preferred way to degass this rifle? The check valve in the fill fitting leaks until it gets down under 3000psi. I want to remove the fitting and inspect/replace the valve's o-ring. Thanks.

Loosen the burst disc till it starts to hiss and let it run down. Don't overtighten when reinstalling. It has no orings or dowty's to damage .

Where is the burst disc on this rifle? I don't have it with me at the moment but here are pics. I've seen the discs on other AAA rifles but this appears to be a little different.

The burst disc has been relocated on the newer rifles. You have to remove the lower receiver to get to it.

Thanks for putting up with my silly questions. I feel like a DA as I somehow missed the giant "All Things Evol" thread that Ezana made until Google pointed to it. Great resource. Questions have been answered and then some!

Very easy to degass and work on! Replaced the poly poppet o-ring and the foster o-ring while I had it apart. Gassed it up to 4500psi and it still leaked. Degassed down to 1800 and got out my leaky Edgun Eazy-fill to sort of "bounce" the poppet into the foster seat. Seems to have worked. Still holding at 4.5k.
The two ragged C shaped pieces were around the stem of the poppet valve when I removed the old o-ring. Almost like trash from machining or.....? I could not think of any legit reason they would be there.
