Aluminum Classic valves

[maniacmechanic]

Educate me , what would be the whole purpose of making a Classic valve out of aluminum ?? Why not just buy an X valve , please give me the long answer

[Sumthinwicked]

you could use them with zero rt effect which is what disquals my xvalve from toury play i just turn down my psi but its a pain to do i would rather have a light mag that cant rt ./....

A friend (the same one with the mill) wanted to make a lighter version of a classic valve. Tom said no, so I am gonna respect that.

I really don't understand this statement , can't any valve be set up so it won't RT
You mean to tell me ( meaning just you , not refering to anyone else ) you can't set up an X valve so it won't RT

I thought the idea behind aluminum classic valves were for co2?

Atleast that was the idea before

You could set up an X to not RT, but if you could get a valve that u never need to worry about then why wouldn't u.
And I dunno, I just love my classics, and i've had many RT/X valves, but the guns I always reach for to play with have a classic on em.
Besides, I'd imagine there are fields that would still disqualify an RT valve even if u set it up to not RT.

But oh well, just another pipe dream I guess Will just stick with my hurricane'd classic

Forget aluminum, what we need is a brass valve. Might not be lighter (ok, not at all lighter) but comes complete with piles of awsome.

It's brass. You can blind SOB's from 100 yd away. It'll be like the Archimedes Death Ray
