x-valve on co2, what is your setup?

[GT]

Sometimes I wonder about you guys. THere are 15 posts here and only one with real information, classic.

I have found that the second gen manifold MaxFlo tank regs work very well for this.

I was thinking max flow as my shockers have all loved the co2 while being the most consistant guns I have owned.

phantom do you have a link to your post?

The one time I ever tried running The rt on Co2 it frozed up and leaked. Took the Co2 of and hook up the HPA and worked fine. Didn't damage the Orings, but mine didn't like it. I have kind of always thought the rt valves/xvalves had very tiny orifices and Co2 being a dirty gas could eventually clog these passages. At least that was my theory.

Dude I dont want to argue. Why does everything on AO have to turn into an argument?

If it was 100% fine to use with 0 risks, I'm sure Tom Kaye (inventor of the automag) wouldn't tell us to not use CO2 on it.

Thanks for clarifying who invented the Automag. lol

They tell you not to use it for the same reason they tell you never to touch the sear rod, for the most part, there is no reason to, and they don't want to have to field a bunch of technical questions about it from users who have futzed themselves out of a functional marker somehow. It's a classic step from an OEM to save on technical problems (which is fine, it's a smart call on their part).

Reminds me of this TWB:

Good one Coolhand!

one of favorite TWB's.

like Coolhand says, the manufacturers recommend things to keep them from having huge issues and returns for warranty work. Very common in all industrys.

Like Coolhand I am cheesed off at how much Misinformation is out there, thats completel;y UNTRUE. Anyone read the tech section on cockers in APG last month? That guy, Jerry something or other, doesnt know anything, but what a "Factory Training" program has told him. And they use the same policy as above, ONLY tell them what works without issues. Dont let them know the are other way/things that work. At one point in another issue, he said cockers didnt work on Co2, BS. they work better than most. He stated that the cup seals would peel out of the valve stem. HUH???????????? never seen that happen my self. not to say it cant, but........

Anyways, Not recommended, doesnt mean, not possible.

As to maybe WHY???? Well alot of people play outlaw with no access to HPA. They have to use Co2. And they want to use their Mag, that has an X-valve on it. OR the fact that you can get more shots out of CO2 than HPA, for the same size tank. But that statement will prolly start another AO-freakout.

remote and palmer stabilizer, my rt valved mag works fine on it setup like that

LOL - hmm, considering Palmer has stated in the past that CO2 is the best "in use" gas for a 'cocker I have a hard time understanding how people say that.

I don't think the problem with CO2 in a mag is as much about the first few shots at low rates of fire as any at high rates. Could be wrong, never tried it, never intend to.
