I am looking for a Supa Valve or something similar. Does anyone have any for sale?

Have you looked into the Mauler Valve?

I'd go with a mauler, Or build your own piston valve not as effective but for the price and experience you gain doing so you won't regret it.

That's my guide, I'll be updating the piston ( O-ring, check valve, less pilot room) sometime this week with alot of pictures and a step by step how to, The pill bottle works wonders but I want optimum performance.

I'm sure there's a few people willing to throw one together for you. It feels better shooting something you know you built, trust. =)

What makes you say that the valve would be "less effective" if he made it?

What's so special about the mauler valve?

The mauler valve is special because it uses o-rings to seal the piston. Also contains a check valve in the piston. Easily serviceable housing is a very good bonus.

Oh, is that right? :shock:

I guess there are many "special" valves on this site then. :D

Very few would cost $90 to build.

Depending on the author's patience and attention to detail, he could be very well capable of building a valve comparable to either a supah or mauler valve.
