RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

If I may, I would strongly recommend Sig Champion 25. No fussing with different fluids, pretty good results just as it is. I went through the same questions. Starting is easy and I'm just about...

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

Yes, I do remember that. And we would also use Rit Dye while we were boiling them to give them some color. I don't remember it helping any, but they looked cool.

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

I don't know, Bernie says "the metal "cap" reed retainer probably proved to be relative expensive, and was replace with the plastic reed retainer that were in effect until Estes sold the busines". ...

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

No, not the tubes. Look at the gasket and where the bolt hole is, lets say from our point of view, the eight o-clock position, I'm guessing about .100" above the gasket there is a curved line that...

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

If you look at dckrsn's photo (click on the full size/fully enlarged view), you'll see a groove or machined split right above the gasket. I'm only guessing this piece comes off. Whether screws off...

What is the purpose of the groove right above the gasket?

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ

RE: Cox Reed Valve FAQ
