This might be a stupid question, but I don't know that much about mags. Is it possible to switch the internals of an x-valve with the internals of a normal valve. The reason I ask is I got my hands on an x-valve, but it has level 7 on it(i don't know why). I was wondering if they just put the level 7 on and left it alone, or if they did that and could have possibly swapped the internals of the valve, thus making it not an x-valve any more. Please help. Thanks. By the way, it looks like an x-valve on the outside(black with a single, big X on one side).

the only thing that would be change would be the bolt and parts inside the power tube most likely. that is very odd that the lvl7 would be put on an xvalve though.President Of the UW-Madison Badger Ballers

The only way it should have lvl 7 on it is if it's used. If the powertube tip has hex wrench flats, then it's lvlX. If it has a slot you can put a nickel in, it's lvl 7.Origninally posted by warbeak2099
Definately extra lube. I keep two bottles at all times. Can't leave home w/o your lubricant.

maybe this valve was on an x-mag? some ppl swap out the lvl x for the lvl 7 and use the eyes instead

I agree that is is weird that it has level 7. So really all I need to do is get level 10 and it should be like a normal X-valve again? Oh, and it is a used X-valve. I'm building a mag and want to make sure this X-valve will work right.Comment

yeah just buy a lvl 10 kit and your rdy to go. One thing tho was the on/off ever messed with or is it the stock on/off?Comment
-
I wish I could tell ya, but I have no idea. I'll just take it to my local shop when I get the level 10 and let them figure that out, because I don't know how to tell. Unless there is a way for you to explain how to tell which one it is?Comment

take out your valve and pull out the on/off assembaly if it looks like this http://store.airgun.com/index.cfm?fu...&categoryID=23
then your fine and dont need to worry.Comment

How do you pull it out?Comment
-
I don't think it's the same one, it looks just like it except for the end of it. It doesn't have the little o-ring on the end, it's just flat. But, I looked at the classic valve on/off assembly, and it doesn't look like that one, so I guess it is the right one.Last edited by codeman35; 11-22-2004, 11:05 AM.Comment

look into the hole that you pulled the on/off out off do you see 2 o-rings? one big one and then a smaller one inside it?Comment
-
Yeah, there is a small one with a big one around it, and then a pin sticking out in the middle.Comment

then you have the correct one you dont have to worry about thatComment
