Inception valve stuck in black magic

[06blackmagic87]

Yea, it is a 05 half block, and going to pick up a dowel while I’m out at work today, we’ll see how it goes when j get home

[06blackmagic87]

Does anyone off hand know the biggest dowel that will fit, I know it’s a much smaller hole than 11/16 coming in from where the front block is. Forgot to bring the body with me and trying to avoid making another trip once I make it to the house.

1/2” should probably work and is commonly available at most hardware stores.

5/8” is probably ideal.

probably closer to 3/16 or so if i had to guess. you need it to fit through the spring perch.

[Blackmagic71]

Good point. I didn’t think about that.

[06blackmagic87]

Valve is out, looks fine, but now the pistol feels wobbly and out of spec. Seat now also feels off, probably because the piston feels so wrong, super bummed, spring got f’d by the dowel on the way out

[Blackmagic71]

Well done getting it out! Do you still have the stock valve? WGP valves are actually pretty good.

[06blackmagic87]

Yes I do, and sure as shit, changed out orings, put the stock valve in, sealed up and had it shooting in the back yard in no time

That’s great! Another happy ending.
