I bought a really nice mini mag valve today. Its in perfect condition and looks like new. The laser engraving looks as if it just came out of the machine but its very old and I have never heard of it. Its by agd I think well check this out. Its called the center fire mag. Or so the valve says. What is it what is so different? Its number 0009

I've never seen one of those. Either its just like the regualar AIR valve or more of a knockoff like the ANS valve.

That's my guess too. How much did you pay for it?

Centerflag PB, the makers of the hyperframe, had their own version of the "Smartmag". That is probably it. I also think its pretty rare, but I dont know numbers.

I got it with lvl 10 for 60 today.
It shoots smoother than any X valve I have ever owned. Other than weight its the same as my x valves.
I love it! My friend has about plenty more if you are interested. He is selling them at 40 shipped but without lvl 10, he did that price for me because I am his friend.

My AIR valves have always shot smoother than my X-valves. I always assumed that was normal.

As mentioned above, that is a valve from a high-rise centerfeed MiniMag sold by Diggers. I should know; it was my first 'Mag. :)

Diggers was a company a few years ago that first introduced shoes with large cleats designed specifically for the paintball market.

I still have my pair and still use them. These shoes had cleats which are much larger and higher than what you see nowadays from company's like Dye. They were fantastic for the outdoor, sand, dirt and mud environment.

They released a high-top, boot version (which I have) called the "Silencer" and another in a mid-cut (mid-top?) version called "X-treme".

Mac Dev used to carry and sell the Diggers shoes.

Incredibly enough, PB Review still has old reviews of both products:
High-top Silencer : http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/329/
Mid-top X-treme : http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/330/

As well as these shoes, they sold the high-rise vertical fed minimag using the valve that you have pictured there. It was called the Centerfire Minimag:

Diggers were around during the days of the RT and RetroValve which were mixing it up against the first generation of electro's. Ahhhh...the good ol' days :D
