Classic On/Off Top identification, please..

[Walker]

I came across this one in a Classic mag that I just picked up.



I haven't seen one like this before, can someone ID it for me?

Sheer curiosity is all, although it looks like it might restrict flow a bit.....

Thanks in advance,

standard old skool Mag on/off top...this model is discontinued. They changed the design for more flow and so that knuckleheads wont put it in backwards.

I agree with Tuna, and I'll fess up and say I'm a knucklehead! Smart Parts put one similar on thier Magic Box Mags and it can easily be put in upside down too. I couldn't figure out why I had so much shoot down until I realized what I had done and fixed it. It works great now, but I felt kinda silly for a while.

Thanks guys.....

I think I'll see about picking up a new one for this Mag....

Alright, at the risk of sounding overly unintelligent, which way is up, and which way is down?

Thanks in advance,

If it's an old AIR valve, then you'll find the up/down direction laser engraved on the bottom of the valve. I have to check every time.

I still have the old skool piece and don't have problems with shoot down......as long as it's in correctly !!!

Thanks Scott....

Mine's in right, but I don't know how many times I've looked at the diagram without seeing it...

Just call me Knucklehead!

All great techs start out as knuckleheads(except me of course). I once troubleshot an emag for 2 hrs...couldn't figure that sucker out for the life of me. Damn clicking noise. For 2 hrs...then I took the safety off.
