Help with RT Valve

[AJoe]

If there is an obstruction there that prevents a good flow of gas, its possible . Does the pin come out easy or is it hard to remove ?

I can't pull it out with my fingers, but with a little wiggling and I can work it out.

It looks clean, washed it in alcohol / tooth brush, new orings and that split ring. oiled it, back in it goes.

before you put it back in put a little air through your lines to make sure your getting good air flow

good flow, I'm at a loss. The only two things I have not changed is the entire on/off assemble, and the regulator pin assembly.

what would cause the reg not to get enough pressure?

I don't have my other mags with me so tomorrow i'll try;
put my emag on/off assem in and try the reg in my emag
if that don't work Ill put the reg pin from the emag in it, if that dont work It don't know.

My first assumption is that you can put a RT valve on an AM rail

This might be it too. Try out the valve on another rail, and try another valve on this rail. Your rail might have gremlins.

Also, have you tried a new bumper?

It could also be that the rail geometry won't let the sear drop far enough to release the bolt.

Inspect your rail, sear and grip frame.

Have you tried with no barrel in? An aftermarket twistlock with a too small/misaligned breach could prevent the bolt from travelling.

Other than that, it has to be a tolerance issue somewhere, maybe a slightly bent body or rail. Are you able to swap rails, trying the RT valve on the emag rail with the automag body?

I haven't put a barrel in yet
I'll do the body switch let ya know thanks...

try alternating tightening and loosening the grip screw and field strip screws also look down the body and see if you can see any wear marks from the bolt sliding back and forth.

If you experienced even a hint of the problem with the emag body, the problem might just lie in the rail. Lay it both right side up and upside down on something very flat, like a mirror, and see if it is warped at all.

Let me know.

[AJoe]

It seems to have a twist in it. any way to correct it?

[secretweaponevan]
