also for some seals your may want to try the threaded rod and sheet rubber between washers thing you need washers that practically touch the walls of the pipe, in my case I had to grind down larger washers, for sheet rubber I used a tire tube the great thing about this is that you can ajust the seal by tightening the nuts that squezes the rubber out ward
Thnx for the advice! This is what I like; hand-on experience :) Should help me out with the drozd type of valve. Btw I didnt make the tippmannprolite animation.

Today I got some new square'' orings instead of the round tubular'' ones I used. But again the same problem arised: too much friction or no seal :( Those parts cost me another 4E lol. It kinda sucks that this valve aint working the way I want it to as it has lots of potential.
