Ion QEV for autocockers work around

[Masonhd81]

Idk if anyone’s ever tried an ion qev for their autococker. I got one and didn’t realize the size difference in the pneumatic hose. Anyways I shoved cocker pneumatic line into the ion pneumatic line and it seals fine. Tried it on my test marker and the trigger pull is crisp. Figured it’s better than spending $50 for a used eclipse or clippard QEV.

Prior to production ion qev's we all just forced in eclipse cocker ones...

Should work fine

I figured they would work the same. I have one in my mech ion but efficiency sucks in it, not sure if I should remove it or leave it. It’s has the modded bolt too so no leaks when trigger is held in

If you like brass these will work too:
Clippard MEV-2

Appreciate the recommendation. Brass is my favorite, might throw some on my projects. Timing with a QEV is kind of strange sometimes. My hinges are fine but slide frames I have issues with

Trying to use two qev on a slider without an oval timing slot is crazy.
Using just one on the closing side does speed that up quite a bit.

Hellion360 I usually put one on the front of the ram, But besides that’s about it.
