My Micro-E needs alittle work.

[Ratzo]

I picked this Micro-E up a couple months ago, knowing the valve was buggered.
I slaped my X-Valve into it and today I finally got around to putting an asa on it and airing it up and wanted to fire it in mech since I don't have a charger.
Well I heard it air up but it would not fire, so I disasembled it.
To my surprise there seems to be another sear rod and it looks to be missing.

Yes I am a E-Mag noob, so what length should this rod be so I can use the mech mode.
Now the poor valve looks like a chunk of steel broke off and someone has filled it with brass and tried to drill and tap it.
Anyone think this would be clasified as a defect and possibly be replaceable.

Can't wait to get things all worked out so I can enjoy it.

I don't know the length of the rod but i would like a better quality pic of the beat up valve. To begin with, what options do you have in mind for the vavle?

Calling Tunaman !

Tuna to the rescue !

[Ruler_Mark]

you will probably be best off de comissioning that valve, that screw hole im aussming for the thumb screw needs to be dead on if its off by anything you are going to run into issues.


Trigger Rod: 2.125"


measure from the back of the sear where the rod connectes to the front of the rod. a caliper is needed

LOL better picture, I tried for 20min to get a good pic and thats the best I could get that shows the damage to the valve.
I am going to replace the front part as I want to keep the "E-Mag Micro 2000" reg since it is a MicroMag it's from.
There was a fellow that offered to give the front half of a valve to the guy I got it off of, but neither Eric or I got any replies from him.
Now if I had some money I'd get Tuna to work some magic on it, as it is right now it'll be hard enough coming up with the cash for a TunaBlade.

you might be able to easy-out that chuck of steel in there if the steel didnt stripe or cross thread or damage the threads at all. theny ou wouldnt need to fix the valve at all in that sense or buy a new front 1/2

[Ratzo]

There are no threads at all.
It looks like a chunk of stainless steel actually broke out.
I tried to get as best a picture of the damage as I could.
It's hard to get a good pic because brass has been melted into the cavity, then drilled and tapped.
There is no saveing this poor valve front.

[athomas]

That can be machined out, no problem. You could probably do it on a good drill press. Using a good bit, drill a small hole in the center of the old broken screw. Then, using the proper size bit, drill it out and retap the hole.

i dont think the valve would be covered under warrenty. can use it as trade in for x valve

I believe the trade in program has been discontinued.
