Capping and Devolumizing Classic Valve?

[Frizzle Fry]

Hex end as in a slot for an allen wrench? The ones I saw offered had either a slot or torgue hole in them. I would be more apt to want a torgue hole. Depending on the thickness, could you also tap for a gauge ini the end? Still debating this, but LMK if you can offer as an option.

According to what I found the in line reg they offer is only 0-450. None of my mags operate at less than 600+

Also, my uncle in law operates a metal fabricating place here in town. I don't think he does this type of machining, but he may have metal scraps laying around. If you can't find what you need, give me an exact description and I may be able to get it from him.

I don't currently have the ability to do an allen key hole. I've done a knurled end you can remove by hand, or a hex end you can remove with a crescent wrench... I suppose if I made it a little deeper I could drill and tap the back to 1/8npt and the side to 10-32 so it could be removed that way. I just wish I had the two caps I made... dumb move selling the whole project

As for input pressure, that's 600 input to the marker when it has the valve back / regulator installed.

I'll probably old off on the guage hole. I want to try it without it first, if I think I need one later, it should be pretty easy to tap it. I would prefer the 10-32 hole vs the hex end. If you are up for doing it, send me a PM with a price.

I get you on the pressure. You're saying it takes >600 input to reset everything with the back reg on, but the reg isn't actually putting out that much pressure to fire. I just want to be sure before I plunk down $50-75 on a reg that I find later doesn't work.

You have to be careful when capping an X-valve. It has feedback from the chamber to the regulator piston. A cap similar to the classic, would cause the air to bypass the on-off pin. You need to provide a plug for the hole where the air feeds back to the rear section of the valve.

[OPBN]

I'm capping a Classic so this shouldn't be an issue right?

[athomas]

Classic valves are not a problem. The only air passage into the front chamber is through the hole at the top of the on-off pin.

[OPBN]

So when capping this off, do I remove the valve pin? How exactly does this work?

[athomas]

Remove all the guts. You are essentially allowing the air to go directly from the valve input to the top of the on-off pin.

PM'd you Frizzle. Let me know if you can or can't make the cap. Not in a huge hurry, but if you can't/don't want to do it, I need to find someone that will.

[OPBN]

Anybody else willing/capable of making one of these? Can't seem to get a commitment from anyone.

Someone made a bunch of caps over on MCB. I'm trying to dredge up the post now.

Never mind, I guess it was Deus. Does he not have anymore?

I have PM'd and emailed him but he isn't replying, so I assume he is sold out. I have posted up on MCB as well, so maybe someone will come up with something. BigEvil suggested Coolhand. If any other takers, let me know.

[OPBN]

Deus finally came back and said he had a couple on stock. I also would like to mention that XM15 said he can make these for $25.00/pc if anyone else is interested. Coolhand also said he is capable, but did not give a price.

This thread has peaked my curiousity. Can anyone tell me the benefits of doing this mod, if any?

[OPBN]

Benefit is in the eye of the beholder. Seriously, I was just looking for something different. I planned on using a foregrip anyways, so figured why not just use a reg in it's place and sheer some weight off of the valve. I also plan on cutting down the rail to match and maybe having Luke ULE the rail after he has pump milled it.
