50 cal Emek guts

Does anyone know there is a difference to any of the internals of a .50 cal Emek to a .68 cal? All the parts fit but I was wondering if the valves might be different or is the only difference in the gamma core?

I think it's more than it's worth.

Right on. Seems like I'll be fine then. I didn't need the 50 cal body and the Gamma core they gave me was .68 cal. All I was after was stuff in the frame and wanted to see if the air system bits were the same.
So the story with this was I put my Emek parts into an MCS magfed kit so i had a leftover 68 cal Emek frame and body. I got a super cheap broken 50 cal Emek from my local field with a 68 cal Gamma core. I pulled all the frame parts out of the broken 50 and put them into my 68. Everything fits and now I have an Emek again! I don't have air to test velocity and wondered if there was any difference in the air systems, and wanted to buy new parts (if needed) before I took it out again.

Yeah I have pretty much built another Emek along side my MCS conversion kit too (minus the reg and bolt). I will probably pickup another cheap Emek to get the reg and bolt and have the internals left over. I wish PE would sell you just the reg and bolt. I can get a bolt from Inception but the reg is the tricky part.

I lucked out with the broken one got. Complete, just had a broken off feedneck and front grip for $20. I'll see if they have any more next time.

The core and front can and bolt are all different
