RT classic body compatability question

[big poppa fluff]

OK Mag Guru's here one for you...

Im starting on Mag project #2 and I want to use a RT Classic body, E-Mag valve, standard AM/MM rail, standard sear, and intelliframe. I know I will have to modify the body to run the air line to the valve. Im thinking about notching the body so the fitting just slides thru it.

My question is:
Will all the parts I listed work in a RT Classic body?

I like the long body look of the RT Classic, and I also got if for a good price from bigbthebenji. Ive never owned a RT Classic so I dont know what can go with what.

thanks!

the back of the classic body needs to be cut off. The classic RT valves were smaller diameter that all others

that is exactly what I didnt want to here

any idea about the rest?

Yup, the only way its gonna work is to cut the rear of the body. Other than that, any other part will be compatible. The RT Classic valve is a smaller diameter than all the other valves. That's why it fits inside the stock body as opposed to sticking out the rear like most other mags.

well there goes my whole Idea... I guess Ill have to conform like the rest.

.... Or maybe i can lath down the valve to fit..... Hmmmm

Really? Seems like you're going through alot of trouble to get the same result you would get using different parts. Don't get me wrong, not trying to be a party pooper. We all have our own visions of what we want. Guess I'm just not seeing the same thing. Lord knows I've got my own ideas. Just not enough resources to make them happen, if they are even feasable. Good luck!

I like the long body look of a RT but hate the rest. (banjo fitting, rt rail. Etc) if i got a RT valve to fit I would have to get all that stuff, plus have to fork out more cash. If i cut the body I lose the look i want and if I'm off the mark on the cut length I run into velocity issues.

I work at a oil refinery. We have machinist here who build 500k dollar turbines from scratch pretty much. I would like to think they can lath down a little valve properly without jacking it up. I just got them to turn a regular vert. Asa into a 25* asa. I can't wait to mount it when I get home.

the back half of the original RT valve also has smaller diameters to maintain a minimum pressure wall thickness. I don't believe it to be possible to turn down an x valve and still maintain safe operation... please ask an expert before proceeding and injuring yourself!!!

Any experts in particular?

Do you mean the I.D. of the valve was small. So it still allowed a safe wall thickness?

Out of curiosity, could a Classic RT valve be retapped for side input?

But what about then inlet where the banjo fitting goes it would leak out of there.

Somebody on this forum has to know the different thicknesses of a RT classic valve and emag valve!
