I love how compact automags are, but what about the over hang the valve makes? Are there any new inventions in the future that could shorten this length?

heres what you *could* do with a classic mag, take off the whole back reg, and make a cap that screws on it, then use an inline reg, and cut down the body rail. Some person has already done this...

You could machine a back half that was basically a set screw to the back of the valve, and run an inline regulator and chop off the back of the rail I guess... thats about all I think
lol tony and I posed the same thing at the same time

I have seen it done before.... This was years ago and I cannot for the life of me remember the website of the guy that did this, i also believe the website it was on has not existed for years either :)

i saw that too!

he machined a complete front half of the valve, and then attached the SS powertube setup to that, and it was completely flush with the back of his micromag, with matching milling

and then he ran an inline reg to adjust the pressure and whatnot


only an inch or so shorter though...

thanks for jacking that and messing it up.

why would you want it to be smaller? its not like it matters anyways. maybe make it lighter? like lighter than a timmy

I have to agree...

Aside from being custom for custom's sake, what would be the point?

How many times in a game have you said "Man, if it wasn't for that 2 inches of valve behind the gripframe, we would have won!"

Back when this was actually being done, the person that I remember doing this just used an aluminum back with an inline reg, the point then was for some weight savings. Now there really would be no point.

Im the "one" who made the mag valve plate.. :)
dont confuse it with the 100% scratch-built aluminum valve, which didnt have the back half either.

I sold the backplate, but still have the aluminum short valve.

website is still up www.deadlywind.com just havent updated it in AGES...

"Is it a reality, nicad? For you to sell these?

Or should I go ahead and purchase the Xvalve?

Let us know~!!"
