So I bought my mag used a couple months back, and one of the first things I did was take apart the valve, clean it out well, and replace all the o-rings. I've used it for several sessions of paintball since then (maybe about 4000 shots total) and it's been shooting without a hitch.
My concern is that the rear half of my valve likes to back itself out. Every time I clean the gun, I make sure the "AutoMag" logo lines up across the front and back halves of the valve. After about 20 shots, though, the logo on the rear half of the valve is displaced by 3-4 mm. Additonal shooting doesn't cause it to back out anymore, I imagine because the Z-lock pin is limiting further motion.
So I'm wondering, is this movement of the rear half of the valve deleterious to the gun's functioning? And if so, is there any way I can stop it (aside from red loctite
)?
