first off yes oil in the asa will fix you up, types to use something like Autolube, Gold cup something along those lines.

next did you get a bunch of lil brass rings with it? if not you will need a carrier kit, im just assuming its a lvl10 bolt. once you get one of those then you can fine tune it. once you have those then we can point you in a fine tuning direction and get that beast ready to tear em up.

I'd pull the valve out and see just how dry and clean (hopefully) it is inside.
Take the valve apart and the on/off out too.
Put a light coating on everything and put it back together.

i dont know where to start with the valve lol.





anyway im sorry if i dont reply im gonna be leaving (in about 3 hours) to go on a missions trip to the dominican republic, till the 19th (of feb) but i will try wat yall suggest when i get back k. if anyones a christian, prayers would be welcome thanks

Also make sure you're using a high pressure HPA tank. It won't fire with low pressure and CO2 is verboten.

The brass rings Dend78 was refering to are shown in the ebay picture inside the x-valve box. When you air it up try running a squeege down the the barrel and pushing on the bolt it might not be locking up on the sear. It will click if it isn't locked up. If it fires once and doesn't reset unless you push on the bolt again your getting bolt stick and need to play with the power tube o-ring carriers and shims. Read install link refered to above.

[Dend78]

yeah you look to be golden looks like everything you need minus maybe a bolt spring but not a big deal. follow what these guys here are saying and the link posted above and you should be a mag tech in no time

[blacklegionfreak]

ok i will try a co2 tank.

[Dend78]

ok i will try a co2 tank.

co2??? wait am i missing something??? why C02? X-valves dont like CO2, HPA here man

[blacklegionfreak]

um ok sorry i didnt know what the V word meant lol, but i didnt put co2 in it though, ok i do have the little brass rings now what?

also you can do a search for automags on you tube there are the original tech videos somewhere on there.
Here is a thread with blown up pictures showing the valves disassembled http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=194223 that should get you started.

dude you got a good deal on that mag, the x-valve is probably worth what you paid for it. Did you ever get it shooting right?
