Title: Put on Hold
Post by: renowntwo on January 08, 2011, 01:47:33 PM
I had to put the XS60 project on hold for awhile until there is more infor on it. I did find several areas that need custom work like the valve- it tends to leak when the gun starts to run low on CO2 and also leak until the seal starts to set when I first charge the AG. It will let air pass during shooting, at first I would say that it was the seal gone bad but I really think that AG has a issue here. Maybe a better valve design would help around this area.
The end cap is also another area that will leak when screwing CO2 down so I just bulk fill mine and I don't have a leak from that area any more.
The bolt handle was very loose to start with but I fix that with a little piece of plastic now it stay in place.
The barrel is a standard QB barrel and it will place the shoot where I want them. So good barrel for me ;D.
  The stock is very easy to mark up but thats ok because i was going to redo the stock anyway just have to make the choice on what stain to place on it.
The metal blueing is good but it will also mark up very easily.
NOTE: I bought this gun to learn how to work on the CO2 guns and this thread is not ment to bad mouth this AG because me and many of my friends have really enjoy it. So will one of the PRO please get this AG and get to sell your ideals Because next winter I want to use it  ::).
