xvalve no good?

[WarChunks]

ok heres the deal, i went on a trip to my local proshop, Champion paintball in poughkippsee NY, and i talked to there tech guy there, he has a degree in repairing almost all markers, wgp, wdp spyder, tippmann, etc and yes AGD, i was asking him about the xvalve, because me, and basically everyone who knows about the store, know that this guy is a expert painball tech guy, and what he said supprised me, he said the xvalves werent too good, and that i should wait like 4 months if i wanted one, or just buy a old retro valve now i trust this guy, and believe what he says, until now. i have heard so much good stuff about the xvalve that i have to do an inquiry on it. is it true that the xvalve has problems? plz no flaming on me or the guy, who shall remain nameless, i just wanted to see the other side

Its the same valve as the RT, only with a alum body. Sounds like typical anti-mag propoganda. Unless h was talking about price, in which case the RT value is going to be a little more than half as expensive.

i wouldnt say that, he has an awesome emag and i bought my mag from him cause he recomended it over the 02 cockers

i've never had a problem w/ mine. i had to turn the velocity up when i 1st got it for it too shoot, and i tuned the bolt, but i prolly didn't have to, i did it by choice. i love mine, it's the best thing i've put on my mag

[WarChunks]

hehe i almost leaped over the counter and showed him some mag pride LOL but im gonna go up tommarrow and ask him what exactly is not good, ill gget back to u guyes

My guess is he is being conservative and not recommending the first generation of a product. In many circles, especially automotive ones, this is not a bad idea. However, I would certainly trust AGD to fully test a new product before releasing it. Your shop owner/employee is probably just waiting to see if there is any negative feedback or any consistent problems that crop up.

deathstalker, im thinking your right, cause its not the first awesome part that he hasnt liked at first, then loved it later on, at first he didnt like halos, then all of a sudden i go up and hes got one, im like oooooook but ur probably right, ill buy one and he will be forced to like it!

[AGD]

At this point we have hundreds in the field. If there were major problems BELIEVE ME you would be hearing about it on this forum. You guys don't let me get away with anything...

AGD

[maglover52]

i like mine even though i cant get the lvl 10 to work

[cphilip]

...um...there is no "Degree" in this type of business he is claiming to have and let alone AGD awarding a "Degree" or anything. Some companies offer specific certification but...

That sort of makes me a little curious of his "credentials" he is claiming to have. And that pretty much make his word worthless to me in general right off the bat.

Gimme his name and I check into him. I think me smells a Rat here.

If thats the case he should simply be truthfull and say he doesn't know something. Not make stuff up and hide behind some kind of trumped up credentials that do not exist...

i just called them degrees cause i was at a lack of better words, but yes he has certifications, im sorry if i misslead u, and although i previously stated he did have a agd certification, he is so darned good, and he has so many others i automatically assumed that he had one, second u guyes prove a very good point, ill give him this link maybe u guyes can respond to him in person

[willy-t]

isnt the xvalve the same thing as a rtvalveexcpt for the alum. body and the lvl 10


thats wut i can come up wih

[Snertz]

Whoa

Whoa, you go to champs too?! Yea, I've talked to M**t, and he doesn't seem to be so fond of the X-Valve, but I'll enlighten him when I get my hands on one.

By the way chunks, where do you usually play, and when do you go to the shop? lol, I'm there almost every weekend usually. PM me
