    on/off blew up today!!!

    well , me and bunch of freinds are going to go play in about 20 minutes , so i air up my mag and its got some really bad bolt stick , but only with a barrel on , i also switched the oring around in the power tube to infront of the spring , it was in the back , when it was in the back it leaked , when in front it didnt but had bolt stick , so i took my valve off and my on/off came flying out sending the peices everywhere , now im stuck using a dang m98 , can anybody explain why it did this ? thanks

    It held some air and the on/off blew out when it wasn't being held by the body anymore...

      Same thing happened to me, except I found all my pieces. After you degas your mag, pull the trigger a little to let all the air out. You will only notice a little pressure when you pull the trigger but that little but of air is enough to send your on/off assembly flying. Don't worry, your not the first person this has happened to, and at least its easy to fix.

        that happened to me with my classic valve once. the day before i was leaving for the long drive down to AO norcal vs. socal. i didn't notice i lost the little brass disk inside, so when i aired it up it sounded like a machine gun. then i figured out what i did, and luckily there were alot of maggers around, so i ended up borrowing the piece from Carbon. when i got home a few days later, i found it in the middle of my living room floor, about 30 feet from where i took my gun apart.

          You still had pressure in the gun when you took it apart. You got bolt stick because you had your power tube components in backwards. O-ring then spring then power tube tip. If it's leaking, replace the spring with a solid spacer. you can buy a spacer kit from AGD's website. you will probably need to change the o-ring now also.

            I thought you meant a co2/on off or something... I was nearly scared...
            At least it's not an expensive fix.
