    X-Valve characteristics?

    Hey, I've got plenty of money in my pocket from the eBay item I sold.(Click link in sig.) I'm thinking of buying an X-Valve, Intelliframe, and ULE body. Sound good? If you have all these in black, look for my thread in the misc. items for sale area.

    First off, is the X-Valve a drop in upgrade? All I need to do is remove the old valve and put in the new one? Do I not need a heavier duty sear or anything? Because I would most likely be switching it out with a Classic valve every once in a while when all I have is CO2. Or if I just want to go shoot squirrels lol.

    And how does this X-Valve make the trigger feel? Is it a bouncy feel where you try to sweet spot it and let it run? Or is it a electronic type feel where it's simply walkable like other high end guns?(ULT in it) I don't think I want a bouncy one because that definitely will make me shoot more paint. I want to shoot fast but not have to and that's what a normal super light pull would give me.

    I would be using a Bulldog II tank. No adjustable Flatline or anything. How fast can you get it without sweet spotting it with an adjustable tank? Thanks.

    Since you are buying all the main parts of a mag, why don't you purchase a complete RT mag. It'll probably be the same price as just the parts. Get a Roguemag or something like that.

    You can drop an X valve in any standard valve gun. No changes are needed.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

      An Rt mag eh. Are the RT mags ULE and X-Valved? I'll look into it.

        You can get a fully ULE, ULT retro mag with a choice of grip frames. They are very nice and not really expensive for what you get.

          Are you talking about buying a new gun or used one? If you're talking about a new one, can you send me a link?

            Yes, you can just drop it in, the xvalve can sweet spot with the ULT, and is reallyyy nice, its got its own feel. Its really light and simple to full. Its walkable, and can sweet spot. You can probley use your tank and get like 20bps. Yesterday i chrono'ed and got 25bps with my mag.

            If your interested in getting an intelliframe.. pm me.

            Im the only one who answered your questions.

                I will have a look. Thanks.

                EDIT: I think it came up to 437 dollars. Not bad. But I want to see how cheap I can get used parts for. If it comes close I may just get a custom built one brand new.
