Ok, I was FINALY able to get an xvalve and I dropped it into my Pnue-mag (which I finally worked out) but it only fires every other time. the rest it chuffs. I backed off all the stops and re did them. I even pulled out the xvalve and tried it in the other mags I have and it worked.

it wont even shoot correctly slowly. at 1 bps still does the same thing. :cry:

Additional info on the setup and pics may help. If the X valve works in other markers, than it sounds like the Pneus need to be fine tuned.

obviously these are old (about a week old) I put a different trigger on with propper stops and most obviously an xvalve but otherwise the rest is self explanitory

How close is the ram to the sear? What LPR are you using?

palmers micro-rock and I'll have to check. I ran out of air trouble shooting it.

Whats the screw in the back of the frame for? When you pull the trigger is the ram tripping?

That is an interesting setup. It looks like the bolt is completly exposed, the trigger is modified,where is the trigger rod and what is the bolt at the back of the frame by the field strip screw?

Did you try removing that screw? Not sure why you would need to limit the rearward travel of the sear...
