OK, here's the deal...

I want an X-Mag for Christmas, it's going on my list. But before I officially ask for it, I have a question...

I HATE the idea of having an all Aluminum Valve on a $1500.00 gun. And no, I was not one of the one's requesting this a year ago, in fact, I think it is a VERY big mistake.

Any who, I was wondering if I could order it and request a ReTro Valve to be put inplace of the X-Mag valve. I know it won't say X-Mag, but who cares? The peace of mind that a Stainless Valve gives me is more than enough.

Just thought I'd ask. I know the X-Mag isn't in production yet, but I'm getting an early start on the begging this year.

Good luck getting one for Christmas... Might want to put that off until Christmas NEXT year.

Why wait untill next year? i am getting mine in a couple months, and is there something wrong with this? the price is not too high at all compared to a normal Emag, of coarse i am a Canadian and prices are different to me anyways.

Meaning, if you haven't already put your order in, you won't get it this christmas.

Well here in Canada there is no waiting list cause he gets them direct from Europe.

He's in Georgia. Hence the wait.

Most of the ones I have seen from Europe have the old emag valve in them.

I should think trading the Aluminum for a stock emag valve when you have the thing will be super easy

OK, so it will be a LATE Christmas present, but I do plan to get one ASAP. And I'll keep all of you in mind that wish to trade standard eMag valves. That's an even better idea than my ReTro Valve idea!

Man my guys and me held one Tom Kaye had at the WPF Badlandz event, and that thing was light with a 45 4500 flatline and the aluminum valve. Can't wait till mine comes in.
