    Classic Mag Help?

    All righty. I have a Powerfeed left Classic mag with a minimag valve. When I first got it (this summer) I aired it up and it was acting strangely. I tried to take it apart, but to my dismay, I snapped the thumbscrew off to the point where it's almost flush with the valve body. There is no way for me to get it out, and I don't even want to try to drill it out, because knowing my massive skills, I'd mess it up even worse. I called AGD this summer, and asked about repairs... I'll have enough cash to send it in soon, but I'm wondering, do I need to send in my whole marker to repair it, or just the valve? I've already gotten my marker down to just the body, rail, pistol grip and vert ASA, and I've taken off all of the air fittings. I'm just wondering if I can just send in the valve? is it necessary to send in the whole marker? Also, is it possible to get the valve rebuilt too? I don't know what's wrong with it...

    Thanks!

      u can send just the valve assumin they still take rma's, not sure on that part.

      but u can buy a drill tip called an easy-out or similar from a hardware store, i havent used one but i kno a lot of people who swear by em, n its not somethin hard to use either

          send them the whole marker , that way after they fix the valve they can tech & tune it

              Macro Fittings?

              Should I send in all my macro fittings and such? the Request for Repair page said to remove them, but I kinda wondered about that... Right now I have it taken all the way apart...

                  i snapped off the Field Strip screw during a tournament

                  my paintball dealer was on hand, he got it out somehow, it should not be tight because it is not Loctite or friction fit

                  use a sewing needle to work it out, unscrewing it out

                  somehow it came out, i did not have to do it but it did not take long, i was playing next game

                      well... there is only 1 way i can think of... wake the top part of the screw that you snapped off and take a dab of jbweld industrial strength on ther... let it sit in a vice or a manner holding it together for 24 hours and it should be strong enough to hold the parts together and help you unscrew it from your valve

                      if not then i know there are kits out there at places such as homedepot, true value, Lowes, and ACE hardwares that can get it out for you or at least give you the means to
