      The valve is coming in at a 1.125" OD to the body's 1" ID.

      Sigh. Guess I'll be selling one or the other.
      0.125" difference?
      your sure your measuring the section of the valve that fits into the body?
      the back of the valve and regulator are 1.125" the forward section and bolt are 1.000".
      If the body is 1.000" ID then it is the correct size.
      can you get us some pics of this valve/body and the misfit situation?

        I was under the impression that all had shipped. I'm pretty sure I've seen user pictures of gloss black builds.

            OKay,.. well I checked the list for the order of payments.

            Based on the list and the pictures of the guys who have gloss black guns already,.. looks like I was skipped.

            Tracy,... I have not received my bodies and parts. When can I expect them?

              Sorry if I wasn't clear... The back section of my valve is 1.125" (after polishing). The bore of the body is .995 or so, and the "stepped out" back section of the body where the wide part of the valve must fit is just a bit over 1". I can't get my calipers all the way in there at that angle, but it appears to be in the 1.07-1.08" range. I'm sure I could hammer in my valve if I really wanted to, but that is not an acceptable solution to me. So far, I'm really disappointed with this product; I expected better from PTP. I have another valve on the way... If it doesn't fit, I'll be selling this body and not looking back. Recommending consumers to hammer in their valves to make them fit... Really? What has happened to quality standards?

                Still waiting on parts as well.

                Tracy hasn't replied to any emails sent in the past two months.

                  When we initially built the bodies and rrfireblade teched the bodies we had problems if that dimension was too large. There should be no problem whatsoever with newer valves and we honestly didn't take into consideration that some of the older valves were larger. Not sure what we can do.

                    For those of you waiting on parts. I have 10 bodies that had ano problems. We are trying to get them done. We ran into a huge delay with the anodizer that I have no control over. Russell has been pushing to get them done. I haven't forgotten about anyone. My computer whet through a meltdown and I am still trying to retrieve info. Not my intention to ignore anyone. And I am so ready to put this baby to bed!!

                              If PTP is not going to ship our tshirts when can we expect the refund?
