One for the Pros to venture forth on. XMT Body not getting into the rhythm.

Why doesn't it just bleed off like normal when the tank is unscrewed?

Or do you mean just to push the on/off pin up, so the valve can be removed?

Still don't understand why the bent pin worked in one body and not the other? Must understand why...

Yes and no. You're right in a regular pneu setup it does just push the pin up. I was mixing it up with my external reg'd one that has to have the sear tripped to degas. It will degas on its own eventually, but if I want to disassemble right away I have to trip it.

It's eating me up inside.

LOL!!

This is where I have been for about a week now with the XMT body.

Maybe the pin was just in the right angle? I come to realize that sometimes s..t just happens. I swear I have had markers that didn't work. I took them apart and put them back together changing nothing and they magically start working. Gremlins.

OK. I guess I can live with that if XtraKargo lets us know all is well with the new pin. Or did I miss that report? Rereading this, I missed quite a bit, because we were all posting at the same time.

Well that was what I wanted to know for sure. Which valve/rail/etc... did you want it in?

[nak81783]

I want all your stuff to work right. Run it through the gamut.

Try the retro with the good pin in the XMT body. If it works take the on/off out and put it in the X and try it in the XMT body again. Process of elimination.

I blame all that stuff on Siri. My wife once iMessaged me to "Confetti. me with cream cheese frosting". I thought she was on ecstasy...

Think I did that once.... My wife, not yours just to be clear.

[nak81783]

Needless to say, after she corrected Siri, I wasn't so excited.

LOL!!! Not sure where the thread is headed, but that, sir was hilarious!

[XtraKargo]

Strange but true.

Soooooo, hear me out on this.

I returned all bolts to their own valves.

Retro Valve - LVL7 - Straight Pin and ON/OFF that was not mauled in the searless lashing of '13... - one shot, bolt stick - trigger firm. Removed Valve before it fired one and done again.
X-Valve - LVL10 - 1 Carrier no shims - And the same On/Off assembly. - one shot, bolt stick - trigger firm.
Moved on to the Classic Valve - LVL-7 - and the same On/Off assembly. - one shot, bolt stick - trigger firm.

This is on the Minimag rail with the standard sear assembly...

[nak81783]

You're positive it was the good pin and on/off assembly?

If so:

1. Do the same tests but with the Reactor on/off that you had in your Classic valve.

2. I know you slip fit the bolt to make sure there were no burrs, but try assembling the marker with the muzzle pointed up and without a bolt spring. When snugly assembled, tip the marker muzzle down. Does the bolt fall forward? May need to take out the bolt stem oring, so you don't get a false result from oring friction.
