Reacter Valve

Does anybody have this or know anything about it?

[AcemanPB]

Doesn't look like much, just a few o-rings. It also said it fixes velocity drop off, but that shouldn't be a problem becase the classic valves were tested at 16bps with no shoot down, I highly doubt anyone can shoot a stock mag that fast.

Some have claimed that it did some good. Most have claimed thatit screwed up their performance or did absolutely nothing but suck $35 out of their wallet. I'd stay away and sock that money away for a retro-valve later.

subliminal message

dont buy reactor valve

save to buy retro valve.

buy retro valve

[Bulldog]

I had that in my old classic a few years ago, did absoloutly nothing. I agree with everyone else, save up and go retro.

If I said it once, I said it a thousand times, No.:)

I had one and all it did was fall out of my gun anytime I removed the A.I.R. Don't get it - it's a waste of money.

if you wanna spend 35 bucks on a nice little upgrade for your classic get a galactic z on/off. That actually works to reduce the pressure it takes to pull your trigger but keep the return pressure the same.

[Miscue]

ReactorValve = Doesn't do anything. Crap.
ZValve = Tapered pin, reduces pull. However, Crap.

Get a... RetroValve! :)

retro valve=200-300 dollars, does a lot
galactic z valve=35 dollars, does a bit but makes a big difference (to me) and especially for the cash

so blah!

I also had one in an AIR valve I got used. The top fell out literaly every time I took the valve out. Even if I was being careful.

As far as improved performance...I didn't see any.My second Mag shot just the same but didn't have the "falling out" problem.

Basicly, I wouldn't buy one but unless it's giving you problems I'd just leave it in.

Yup, falls out everytime you take off your valve. First time i put it on my minimag, the gun wouldn't work well. took it off until one day i lost my stock valve so i put on the reactor valve. It's still in there. The mag works fine now.

The only difference is that the trigger feels a little softer than with the stock valve- no other benefit i can see.

bottom line - it's not worth the money to buy one.

i think that this conversation quote i had on AIM sums up what i need to say

"I hate mags, they shoot so fast stock that i have no room to upgrade."

"So whats your complaint"

"They shoot too fast!"

[FalconGuy016]

Thanks guys, just wondering

[Kevmaster]

just ask the AGD Techs what they do when they get a gun that comes in with aftermarket stuff all in it?
Forget about the friendly FREE service you get with mags
