    Alu Valve Upgrade?

    Let me start this out by saying..I know...and just like every other question i've asked Tom I'm not expecting it next week...I usually assume everything that i ask for could possibly be done by Christmas (4 months away)...so..Tom..is an aluminum valve upgrade possible for us "normal" eMaggots? (and how about a spiffy milled out normal eMag rail while i'm asking for miracles?)

    i also wanted to know if we could specialize what we put on the valve when we do the 'Go Retro' program. like i could put my name on it or ppl with emanum boards could put Emagnum on it. just a thought

      Its only 3 ounces lighter... I dont think the $300 pricetag is worth 3 ounces...
      Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags

        Is the whole valve aluminum? And if it is, why all the fuss if it only makes it 3 ounces lighter?

          because after years of having nothing to upgrade, some mag users must have the newest stuff, even if it doesn't improve preformance. It's kinda like puttine two volumizers on an Angel, pointless except to say "look what I have"

            Well...I myself am wondering how much the valve upgrade would cost..3 oz is a big deal...add three oz to your marker and see if you can notice it..I wouldn't pay $100 for 3oz...but if was like $30-40 for an exchange for the Alu from valve half...i may do it...I think AGD didn't think people would want things like lighter parts, i.e. chopped up emag rail and other parts of the like...he never tried, so how can people say it won't make money...I know most of us Emaggots would give our battery pack for a way to lighten our marker a little bit..

                    uumm...yes...i was the first thread to ask about the Alu valve upgrade...seeing as to the fact that I was on the board from 2-4am and i had posting on the first 10 threads up until i woke up at 10am i think i would remember...just like i was the first to ask about Supermags, Extreme Fades and also came up with the "LX" name for Level 10 kits...
