X-Valve & RT On/Off Not Working in Automag Classic Marker/Valve
I have an X-Valve in an XM Automag and just received an Automag Classic with a Classic Valve. My plan was to upgrade the Classic with a Level 10 and an RT On/Off (for the lighter pull; I understand it won't add reactivity). Before purchasing new parts, I thought I'd swap over the parts from the X-Valve to the Classic to make sure everything worked.
Every combination works in the XM Automag, but the following do not work in the Automag Classic marker.
1. X-Valve in the Automag Classic marker
2. RT On/Off in the Classic Valve in the Automag Classic marker
Rail bushings are present in both rails. Both pins measure .750". Sear rods both measure 1.985" with appropriate gap between rod and trigger.
With the aforementioned two combinations, when first airing up, I get 1-3 shots, then it chuffs a few times, then the trigger is still "pressurized", but the marker won't fire.
The only thing I can think of is the interaction between sear and on/off. The Automag Classic sear is the older "fat style" with the extra material below the sear tip area. It is about .108" thick as opposed to the XM Automag sear being .128" thick. Also the tab that pushes up on the on/off pin is .148" long compared to the XM Automag sear being .185" long ("long" direction being from aft to forward). There's obviously also much more play with the Automag Classic rail, sear pin, and sear compared to the XM Automag.
All that said, could the Automag Classic sear be drifting side to side, pushing on the pin, but not being centered in the slot of the on/off bottom, hitting the slot wall, not letting the trigger pull complete to disengage the sear from the bolt?
