how old is my gun/valve?!?!?!

[iisp0tii]

i was just wondering how old my gun/valve is. i got it used for a trade in for a cocker. i was wondering this because everything is starting to leak, the charger o-ring, powertube o-ring, spring, the bumper is even tore about 1 mm from where the middle hole is. someone help me out & tell me how old this thing is. im going to order a parts kit here soon, the only bad thing is it wont get here before spring break is over . oh well,we wanted to play over spring break but we probably wont.

Yea, thats a good Idea you are replacing the o-rings and such. Maybe 5-6 years old? I am only guessing though.

yea, im going to get a parts kit, super bolt, lapco autospirit barrel, smoke revy halves, & a power tube spacer kit. later on i will get a retro valve then a PF/HR black body & an electronic grip frame so i dont short stroke anymore.

If you're going to be getting an Electro frame for your mag then I wouldn't buy the Retro valve. The Electro frames can't take advantage of the RT sweet spot in the retro valves and a stock valve can keep up with the Electro frame. I would buy one or the other but not both unless you have 2 mags Just trying to save ya some money. Actuallywhy not buy the retro and an Intelle-frame. Much better purchase IMO than an Electro frame, but it's just my opinion.

The gun was built on 03/20/1995, so the valve is about seven years old.
