30 Shots from a classic valve w/ a 12G

You might get even more if you sidelined the 12gram changer off the valve's input.

I used to regularly get about 27 shots from a 12gram and classic valve. This was back before you were allowed to use a tank at the local fields.

how did you accomplish this?

I think some of the older classic valves had smaller dump chambers

I've done what kevin suggested

It helps to run a male to male fitting and connect an asa to the valves input and run the 12g changer side saddle

How many shots do you get on yours?

Shooting it with the marker facing the ground and the barrel removed LOL....

So what exactly does your valve say on it?

Mine is a 68 Automag A.I.R Valve CF15539

Mine says removable/threaded dump chamber style 68 AutoMag A.I.R. Valve serial number CF07798
Just kidding of course it's an AIR valve. The funny thing is there is no rhyme or reason on which valves are lasered all the way around. I have a few earlier numbered valves that are as well as a 2 later number valves which are are also laser welded all the way around.

If you guys look at the classic mag maintenance video. The valve Tom is showing has a snap ring holding the PT in :rofl:

Never noticed that.

Anyway, my classic valve unfortunately is lasered all the way around, but the funny thing is my RT valve can unscrew (classic RT).

The CCI's unscrew after 4-8 shots on a mag and having it next to the valve makes it a pain to tighten.

Those are on early early valves, L5 IIRC....

Yup I had a lot that just unscrewed while trying disassembling the power tube tip...

That's exactly how i found out that my rt's power tube could unscrew. I still wish my classic did since i rarely use it and it's more of a loaner, but if i could make it a slower firing gun that got good efficiency...
