    Who can mill out a Retro valve to take ULT?

    Im looking to get the ULT for my older microRT. It has the RT valve that can accept the ULT if milled properly. I was wondering If anyone here could tell me of a business/person who can do this properly. Thanks!

          I know the guys (sort of) that are listed in the dealer's forum. A bunch of those guys shoot RTs and they drilled a few of them for the ULT. Haven't seen the work first hand, but it's not that hard of an operation for someone with decent machining skills and the proper equipment.

            To add to that... The guy who actually does the machining is the same guy who makes the Full Boar products for Tippman's markers. I can't directly vouch for his machining valves, but I own a Full Boar Shadow, and it's very well made.

                I have never used a ULT, but considering that the retro has exactly the same function as the X-Valve I doubt there will be any difference.

                  people from Holland are called Danes... or Danish... but not of the Cheezy variety...

                  Brad charges $15 plus return shipping... my retro will be on the way to him pretty soon...

                  (I wanna say he charges $50 for the ULT kit)

                      Got my RTPro Valve back from BradAGD and the ULT has almost no reactivity left in it. The marker fires almost as soon as you even look at the trigger .. it feels really nice! .. Quite honestly, i didn't see much difference between the ULT with dye grip AND my hyperframe. Only reason i'm now using hyperframe is cuz i spent so bloody much on it

                      Had I known, i would have gotten the ULT only.
