I hate my xvalve

[PBCapo]

deacon does your ult spin freely? i put 2 shims in it like cphil told me to, and after it spun freely, no matter how much i tried to tighten it

[The Deacon]

yeah, I can screw it in somewhat and then it hs like a freefloating gap.

[PBCapo]

someone wanna tell us if its supposed to do that?

[PBCapo]

okay cphil says thats normal

[The Deacon]

ask him why my reg won't untwist...

[PBCapo]

i asked him why mine wont untwist, he said it should be able to, if i do it hard enough, i think im gonna end up sending it to him

[The Deacon]

yeah, I'll prolly end up sending mine off too...

You are going to need more than 700 to set this thing up. Your gonna need about 2 grand to do all this and break it in. Its not that hard. First time it can be rather confusing. Its really important that you learn though.

One thing we have all noticed is the regulator pin assemblies on these things are very dry and the sometimes stick early on. What I told capo to do was to twist the two halves apart and directly oil the rubber assembly in there first thing. Thats a particularly dry place that oil does not get to easily. And it often can use a lube before you start using these valves. I suggest you do that first thing. And get plenty of air. be carefull you dissasemble and reassemble everything exacty right. Just go slow and refer to the diagram at AGD site and you will soon learn more about your marker. There is a brass ring like thing and an oring that you need to remove before you pull the reg assembly out. And you want to go carefull lining it back up into the back half's hole as you rescrew it back together.

Thanks for the help phil, but I really think my main problem is that the regulator half of the valve is stuck to the front half. The lines do not match up and will not unscrew. I have no idea how to get them apart, all brute force and attempts at lubrication have failed me.

ye gtrsi, how does that clip help me?

The link holmes..... how to build a mag. It has a step by step guide...

EDIT: I am on aim, turb0minnow ,if you need some help.

Those two halves have a oring keeping them air tight. And that has to be broken lose to get them apart. Now I not saying yours is not screwed but I suspect not. Its often rather tight the first time on a new valve. But that is the area I wanted you to get into to lube. So if you cannot then I got no answer for you. If you believe its screwed up then return it. If you know someone that does have a lot of experience with then then let them have a look see first. But you do need to get that apart but NOT damage the valve doing it.

And they often do not line up. That means very little. That oring varies a little in thickness. I suspect you got a thick one and so its tight before they line up. Really doesn't matter. It matters that it does not leak is all.

[The Deacon]

I do think it's out of alignment w/ the z-lock pin so I think the on/off isn't aligned w/ the triggerframe which would explain almost everything.

[The Deacon]

Woo got it! Took some major brute force, didn't damage the valve and it's apart! LUBE TIME!

[cphilip]

Not really. The Field Strip screw makes everything align.

Now if you had no rail bushing then it can't

But if your problem is like Capo's then its a dry reg assembly or a level 10 slop.

What kind of markers are these X Valves going into?

Roguerailed, IT bodied, intelliframed. I was using an RT Pro valve before and it was flawless.
