Yes, they will. FYI Here's an address to a review of the body if your interested.

this is off the AGD level 10 cd:

I’ve got a Galactic Systems Z-body and my LvL 10 bolt won’t fit in it.

The LvL 10 bolt is .005” larger in diameter than the Level 7 bolt. Thus, LvL 10’s are not compatible with Z-bodies. Z-bodies are not an Airgun Designs product and Airgun Designs does not support it. Contact Galactic Systems thttp://www.galacticz.com to see if they have a remedy available.

Xvalve comes stock with LX so i would presume it wouldnt fit...

I have had 3 of the Galactic z bodies. 1 fit the level 10 no problem, the other 2 did not. But it is an easy fix to make it fit. I could not get it to work with the ULT and x-valve though. But a Retro or e-mag valve and level 10 is no prob.

You can make it fit. You may have to sand down the outer front lip of the level 10 bolt just a bit due to the tighter tolerences.

so a Retro valve with a Level 10 will fit but I have to "sand down the outer front lip of the level 10 bolt" what part of the bolt is this?

Level 10 bolts were created with a larger diameter tip to seal and prevent blowback gas from blowing up the feed tube. In some aftermarket bodies, the diameter of the breach is too small for the level 10 and the bolt fetches up, preventing the bolt from cycling properly. By sanding down the outer tip of the bolt, you can make the level 10 bolt fit the bodies. It doesn't take much.

That may be easier, but I preffered to wrap a 1/3 sheet of 160 grit sandpaper around a pencil, put the pencil in a drill and lightly sand the spacer inside the Z-body. Take about 10 secs to do and works great...dont oversand, do a little at a time until the level 10 bolt slides in and out easily.
