I was going to be building a marker soon and I was wondering where I could find an X-valve other then the black or reverse colored one on airguns web site. I am looking for blue or red preffereably.

Also get ready to pay. I've been looking for a red 1 for a while and the 1 I've found is 300 dollars. People don't want to come off of them cheap.

PM Outlaw5 he used to have a red one for 275. I don't know if he still has it but it's worth a shot!

3) Get a hold of PB Charleston paintball shop. They had 1 red, and 1 blue XValve in stock. An AO'er by the username Geoff Call works for them, he should be able to help you out.

QFT!

Thanks, I know how to re-anodize myself. I would just rather buy it ready to go,but if I have to I will. And if anyone is intereasted in how to change the color on one that they already have ill post how I did it. Esentially though it will just be taking the colored housing to the anodizer and having them strip the old and apply a new. standerd lot charges will cause this to be about $130. Soif anyone is in the bay area and wants to do this to we can go havsies or even more because thats the minimum lot charge. it will probobly be the same price if we did 20 of them at once. But I think i will go buy a new X-Valve and go hagle the my local anodizer. And there are some spelling errors here becase Icant figure out how in hell to turn of overtype in this piece of crap IE.

You void your warranty if you reanno the xvalve, the tolerances are too tight. *just so you know

Good to know, I'm getting my mag annodized soon and was pondering whether to also do the valve. Guess I'll pass on that now. :cheers:

Also be careful who annos the body as well, although not as tough to do...you can end up with a pretty mag that doesnt wanna shoot :cry:

Im only reanodizing the outside, you can plug the inside and nothing will change.

As of this moment i was thinking of electrochem in hayward. Keep in mind I dont have a x-valve right now but I am looking to get one.
There are a ton though so it can really be anyone. There is nothing special to this.

PBC is the best store ever i have said many times shoot if they had a webssite probably half the people here would have tried to buy the last brand new xmags they (now sold) but its true
