powertube spring vs spacer

[Nobody077]

I currently have a level 7 AIR valve(CF26***) without the powertube spacers ,it still has the spring spacer. Will upgradeing to the spacers make iny noticable diffrence? My Valve also has the flow holes that dont line-up(not even close) Does AGD offer a fix like the 4-8 hole mod, or is this something I will have to do on my own. I was going to E-mail and ask but there E-mail is still down. Thanks.

you must have a really old reg! you deffinetly want a spacer kit. as far as the reg goes i have heard of people drilling the holes themselves.

The power tube spacer allows you to fine tune the feel of your gun a bit. If you get power tube spacer that is just short enough that the gun doesn't leak, then the trigger will feel very crisp.

The valve back can be drilled if you have access to a drill press. I did it to mine. Its quite easy.

Remove all internals from your valve back. Mark the valve front where the hole is on the outside. Screw the valve back onto the front. Mark the valve back at the same location as the mark on the valve front. Now when you remove the valve back the you will know where the hole should go. Put the valve back in a vise, angled so that the hole will be drilled towards the inside center of the back, the same as the original hole. I think the hole size is about 1/8". Drill the hole. Remove any metal filings and burrs that are left. Put all the internals back ito the valve back and you are good to go.

Thanks for the replys, I just ordered the powertube spacer kit, I cant wait to get back on the field and start playing again after my 4 year break. Now off to the garage and my drill press.
