You win, I believed you the first time. lol

I hate them, I hate dealing with them, when I see them on a gun I am working on the fee goes up and I become less generous. :O

Wow, really? I absolutely love mine. No issues whatsoever.

Or do you mean the additional complication with respect to removing them?

I was just sharing the difference in the posts so that others could see.

AGD threads are Mil Spec. Others...not so much. Kind of like the spec on Cocker barrel threads...

Very very close to touching on the karta.

How do you like that frame ?

Do a review on it.

Seems like it'd be a major paint getting the valve in and out.

Guess you'd probably have to have it completely tuned before installing it .

remove the 2 screws and the fittings pop off, then remove the thumb screw. realistically you aren't doing this daily.

mine is the prototype frame not the production one. There were changes that were done to the production one.

To me, when you start to add in extra parts, i.e. extra sealing surfaces, you increase the chances of a leak or potential leak. Not that going from 1 ina standard macro fitting to 3 is a huge leap, but it matters when chasing down a leak.

Hey, you like them and want to pay $40 (guessing on price) on 2 pieces that i can get for $8 for 5x the cost savings, go right ahead. But i really think that CCM is looking at the market, seeing the push of the industry going hoseless and seeing that in order to keep some of the market, they need to change & accommodate, instead of ignoring, as they have done in the past.

Karta looks fantastic.

And come to think of it, these kind of fittings are ideal for the Nummech frames, since both can just stay together as a single unit, connected by the macroline. Hadn't even considered that.

As for additional seals, they aren't dynamic, so no particular reason for them to fail anytime soon under normal usage.

And cost is $30, not $40. Probably not feasible or even desirable for every mag or marker in the stable, but for a build you want to be extra nice, especially when people are dropping hundreds for a body alone, something pretty to garnish it with is a piddling expense. Those fittings could not be more perfect on that Karta, for instance.

And as PGOP noted above, we should celebrate companies' willingness to provide more options for us, even if they aren't to our own tastes.

Problem is these do leak, there's a simple design flaw which is easily fixed. Someone should suggest to CCM to add some compression to the o-ring so they don't leak. The seal is literally borderline after the first ano job, strip them once to custom anodize and they're basically junk. With some extremely easy calculations, very minimal design changes and simple reprogramming the problem could be fixed. Problem solved and they have kick-ass product. I'm curious if anyone has ever mentioned it to them?

Talk about the pot calling the mettle black. You would never or have ever taken a suggestion(least from me), why should CCM? Regardless of your ability, no one takes suggestions on things they think are perfect.

And, the more orings, the more chances of an oring going bad. AGD used very good orings, but yet you need to replace them, ever so often.

They (Bill) doesn't take criticism well.

2 piece ccm bodies arent loctited from the factory.....mistake
rerelease of the j2 1 piece with only changing the detents....mistake
making the same markers they have been for years with minor changes instead of 1 major release...mistake
having a 4 year wait for a marker and not finding a way to make it cheaper to produce when people are paying double and triple the listed price....mistake
spending time on side projects that the interest level is very low ( bills revolver pistol, ccm rifles).....mistake

im sure i could go on. all of which has been posted repeatedly with Bill responding.
