Emag Valve to X Valve

[abunkerer]

I just installed an X valve on my Emag, I took it out on the field and during high ROF it seemed to be short stroking every now and then...Should I have swapped the Emag on/off pin with the X-valve on off pin?

-the x valve was broken in and tuned on a mech. mag

anyone know if there is a difference in pin lenghts, has anyone else had this problem??

Yes. YOu have to swap the on/off pin & assembly from the Emag valve to the Xvalve.

Xvalves should be around a .750 pin. Emag pins are .712 or .728 depending on how many orings are in the on/off hole.

Thanks a lot for the info!
Now if I can just track down the guy I sold the valve to...

If you cant find the dude, I have some pins if you need one. Email me.

you didnt mention the quad oring...did you remember to transfer that over too?

[abunkerer]

All is well

swapped the pins o-rings, ect. Now it works awesome, the strings of paint shooting from that thing were unreal!

how long did it take you to break the valve in? i just got mine a while ago and put around 3 cases through it so far and havnt had to adjust anything yet.

[abunkerer]

I put about 6 -7 cases through it, I havent had to adjust it too much after the first day,(switched to a smaller carrier, added 1 shim and swapped the spring from mid-length to the longest one)
Now I just keep it well oiled, and it works good
