How to replace the snap ring on your CVX valve with a C-clip.

I got tired of messing with the snap ring on my CVX valves so I went to some hardware stores in search of suitable replacement. I found that a 1/2” C-clip fits perfectly in place of the snap ring. I got the C-clip from Lowes in the nuts and bolts section, in one of the weird parts drawers. I’m not sure if they come in different thicknesses so you might want to take your snap ring along when you buy it to make sure.

You will also need some C-clip pliers to install and remove the C-clip from your valve. I didn’t feel like blowing $15 on some pliers, so I modified some cheap needle nose pliers to work.

Here’s some pics...







Makes disassembling the valve insanely easy.

just to end all of these posts:

Tippmann has decided to end the making of the egrip. If you wanted to get the egrip the oonly way now is by ebay or a friend.

some people think the reactive trigger is automatic but its not as fast and it is illegal in tourdament

GTA and BSI E-bolt is not in production any more.**

The gta kit may be found on ebay but, I doubt you will find a bsi kit (alone).

You can find both kits usually on ebay already installed in 98's.

"some people think the reactive trigger is automatic but its not as fast and it is illegal in tourdament"

Auto = Fast? No actually it doesn't.
The rt can actually get very high rates of fire.
The RT shoots very fast "strings" of paint.
It is not legal in toureys and not legal at some fields.

easier way to fix hopper wobble:

take off the feed elbow and stretch a standard tank o-ring around the bottom of it. thats it.  (this mod may need replacement every once in a while)

quick tip

if you have a double trigger, take a metal file and file down the middle hump, this makes a perfect blade trigger

an expansion chamber only works for co2. it wont do anything for nitro. it would just act as a gas-through grip.
