WARNING to everyone! M.A.X. cannot anodize Automags. (Please Read)

[Mosfet]

so it was the valve?
that makes sense. I was thinking it was maybe just the body. :P

I've heard that with valves, and with regular HPRs and LPRs in general to very carefull about having them annoed, or even better, to just not have em re annoed at all.

[Empyreal Rogue]

No! You're totally missing what I'm saying.

I own 1 Valve, an X-Valve. That didn't work with my Marker.
My friend owns a ReTro-Valve. That didn't work with my Marker. His ReTro works perfectly with his marker.
My friend owns an E-Mag Valve. That didn't work with my marker. His E-Mag Valve works perfectly with his RTP.

That's what I'm saying.

[Mosfet]

OK, now that is definately weird.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

I had my e-mag completely anodized by them and everything turned out PERFECT so im not sure what your talking about, they can do mags just fine... mabey you just were unlucky, eitherway talk to them about it im sure it will be resloved.

M.A.X. said they could do the Valve, I told asked them prior to me sending the marker (in separate pieces) if they could do it and they said "Yes. We have done Automags before, it won't be a problem." I even told them that Automag Valves can be very difficult to do and they said, "It's not a problem." So if it's my fault, I guess you can argue that but they assured me they could do it with no problems.

I just scanned through this thread - not reading into much detail...

Did you also get your valve anno-ed? I understand that your friends' valves didn't work in your mag, but did your anno-ed valve work in thiers? I also assume you're using the correct on/off configurations for each type of Mag (Emag, RT, Auto etc...)

[phantomhitman]

i was at the ao meet, and watched this madness unfold. this is not rogues fault at all. the anno looks good by the way, but that is useless if the gun doesnt work.

we thought there was a problem with the x valve, so we not only used a retro valve but a emag valve to test in his body. same issues. there could be an insane chance that all 3 valves messed up on this gun, but not likely. i am thinking it is the rail or the body anno being too thick, but i can definately be wrong. send it off to tuna, he should narrow down what the heck is wrong in no time.

[UThomas]

So did you put the gun back together or did Max?

[teufelhunden]

Damnit fellas, you can't keep saying the anno is nice without pics!

And on that note, good luck in solving this.

[Automaggot68]

Those basterds.... dude that effin blows, are you able to play it with it (i know u stated a tech said u couldnt) but like can u shoot it? Cuz u can always likes shoot it until it bends or sum****, and be like MAX U motha!!! u coulda killed me... here comes the better business beurae (oh eff it i cant spell it), and there be like heres 5 free bodies

It always lights up my day on AO, when i wake up--and cannot read another person's post.

YOU REANNO'D THE VALVE?!?!?!

*SMACK*DUMBASS*SMACK*

[Empyreal Rogue]

They said they could do it......

[Creative Mayhem]

of course they could, but does that mean they should?

[cphilip]

Ask ANYONE at the AO-Mid-Atlantic event, they'll prove to you that my marker didn't work with 3 different and properly tuned valves.

.

Both Tuna and Brad have offered to look at it. I would do the same but its obvious you have convinced yourself it can't be fixed. I think it can. So far you have not put it in the hands of a competent tech to do that.... I suggest you do so. Its possible it needs a On Off pin specialy made for it. Thats about all.... Your method of testing it was flawed. You are skiping several things.

And it is Possible to over polish one and do this. But its possible that someone that knows what there doing can compensate for that.

Yeah send it to Tunaman or Brad, they'll get to the bottom of it

[G3PB]

I'd bet money it's nothing that can't be easily fixed. I have a Mag here that came from Eclipse many years ago....any valve that is used with this rail requires .080 to be ground off the on/off pin in order to function. Sometimes, they're so close that any change will alter it's dynamics. It rarely happens, but it does happen. I've been a certified AGD tech for years and I have seen this happen more than once.....no big deal if you know what you're doing.

Send it to one of the techs on this site, I'm sure they can get it to function.
