X-Valve not giving any trigger kick

Not so. What many people are do not understand is that although most regulators can adjust or are set around 800-900 psi, the have different FLOW RATES

The flow rate is how quickly a regulator can refill the air chamber of the marker after a shot is fired. While a preset tank may output 850psi, it may not be able to maintain a pressure of 850 psi when the marker is shooting very fast (we call it shootdown). High end adjustable tanks typicaly have MUCH better flow rates and are able to keep the set output pressure even when you are shooting 20+ bps.

Output pressure AND flow rate will determine the feel of the trigger and the bounce you are looking for.

They sell different lengths in the store, or at least used to. I just checked, they used to have a drop down which allowed you to pick between 3-4 sizes, it may still be there but I couldn't find it.

They only advertise/have links for the .765 and .750 length pins, but if you need another link you can call AGD directly and order another pin length.

Well, what length should a MicroMag use?

One other thing - to whoever said the standard grip with the Micro was just a gas through, either you're incorrect, or my Micro didn't come with the standard foregrip 'cause that's most definitely a benchy expansion grip. I did a little experiment (which started this whole discussion actually :) ) of unscrewing the grip and screwing my tank directly into the grip's adapter, and after removing the exp. grip from the gas path I did feel more bounce when I dryfired it. Still not as much as I'd like, but it made a difference. So, now I've got a Dye gas-thru sitting on my desk waiting to go on my gun, and that Smart Parts MaxFlo air system I've been wanting so long is UPSing its way to me as we speak.

As far as the benchy frame goes, I have noticed that it's very "sloppy" as someone else put it. If it's still interfering with my trigger kick after the air system adjustments and the new on/off pin people keep talking about, I'll just save up some more money and put a Logic frame on it.

Heh... it's a good thing I love my Mag so much. I don't think I'd be putting this much time, effort, and MUNNY into it otherwise, and that'd just be such a shame
