Retro X-Valve? X-Valve?

[Strykerjoe]

Whats the deal? Is one stainless and the other is alum.? Is that it? Is one better than the other?

[kingpen509]

Thats the deal, and most would say the performance is identical!

[PnueMagger]

... the performance is identical

Erroneous! Lies and Deceptions!

Retro valves shot faster because AGD used to put elves in them to make them cycle faster. Once SP pantented elves, AGD had to start making the X-valve. Same in functionality to the retro valve, but alot lighter because there no more elves.

I've purchased a Retro X-valve with level 10 just wanted to know if I should've went with a X-valve or what?? From what I could tell in photos they look like the same. Flipping from AGD web site to Action Village!

The Retrovalve has the word "RetroValve" engraved on it.

The X-Valve just has a big "X" . Or it may have "X-Valve" engraved.

Well, the Xvalve comes with level 10 stock. With your ReTro valve, did you pay for the level 10 separately? If you did, you got hosed.

Performance wise, a ReTro valve with LX is the same as an Xvalve w/ LX.

[Z-man]

Same things, same performance, different materials.

I checked into it and it is a X-valve with lvl 10 brand new from action village for $315.05 with two day select shipping. I'll have it in my hands bye 1:00pm today(10th)! $305 or something for X-valves & Lvl 10, its a miss print on the web site!

tunamans right thats to much. but i do know that the rt pro x-valve is faster then the reg x-valve. (thats why i sold my x-valve)

[Dayspring]

You wanna bet?

[Z-man]

actually as I undestand it the original RT (the Classic RT) has the fastest valve design. If you dig through AO you will find that AGD actually added some mass to certain parts of the valve to try and counteract the bounce on the valving. You want the absolute fastest valve AGD made? Classic RT.

Hey!

Yu guys need to have a time out! calm down , no fighting now! We are all mag owners and we all think our sh*t don't stink,"CHILL OUT!" I do have a new question tho? My new set up is not very easy on the air(air hog)! The velocity isn't very consistent, at least not like my old set up! Any ideas???

It's tough love... that and I am right and I have to let people know that.

My new set up is not very easy on the air(air hog)! The velocity isn't very consistent, at least not like my old set up! Any ideas???

There is a reason that classic RT in the picture has an 88/45 air system on it. While the Mag is not the least air efficient thing out there it won't win any awards for efficiency any time soon. Off a full fill 88/45 I ended up getting at most 1800 rounds per fill. I would personally not go smaller than a 68/45 tank myself.

As for the velocity not being consistent are you talking about when you measured it while shooting over a chrono or do you mean that the balls are flying all over and not shooting (what the "pro" kids call) "ropes" of paint?

If you just noticing balls going all over you might check your paint to barrel match. small paint in a big barrel makes for unhappy player. A good barrel kit is worth its weight in gold my son.

Info?

Over the chrony,I use a 68/45 tank now and have everything except a ULT.It may be a thing with screwing in the on/off into far? I'm going to the bigger macro line tomorrow! It maybe just fine tunning the Lvl10 more or figure out which barrel to use. I still use twist lock,I just have to many to pick from(All american & tear drop,Taso stone cold & eliminator,J&J?,Tasco?,Armson rilfled, brass straight rilfled one and the crown point(crap) that my gun came with in 93'. Thank for any info!!
