View Full Version : XValve pin on XMags...

you know the little pin coming out the bottom of the automag valves? it goes into the rail and locks the valve in...I had always assumed it was a saftey issue so that if the field strip screw came out, it would hold over until you took the tank off, since it can't come out without twisting the valve

something I noticed today about my XMag's pin and XMag's rail...it slides right in and out...no twisting. I just thought this was odd and wondered why AGD changed it. And since its no long a saftey issue, why even have that whole part of the rail there on the back since you are going for the whole ULE thing....

So the regulator body doesn't unscrew itself from vibration.

Or from playing with the velocity reg. I did that on Psychoballer's SFL. Damned reg body started unscrewing b/c they don't have that locking mechanism.

Yea the thing would maybe turn and come lose while you were adjusting velocity. The SFL is supposed to have a set screw under the body to do this. But most people took it out or do not tighten it. And the Reg then DOES unscrew!
