AKA Tornado Valve, are they worth it ? - Page 2

I loved my Sidewinder - always had problems with PPS stuff.

I hate to be the one who says it, but PPS stuff is half hype as well, mostly from the consumer.

Yeah, they're nice guns, PPS makes a nice product (barrels, guns, valves, etc.) but they're not the best. It's all a matter of preference.

I have to defend the AKA valve. They work incredibly well but for the price i would buy a PPS valve.

Besides price, they really dominate. Other valves are comparable but AKA valves are on the top of the list along with the best.

Thanks for the input guys.
I will watch for a used one I guess.
Gonna give it a test drive tomorrow.
Are there different valves for different year cockers ?
I think the Lotus is a 2000+ .

On another note, the steel bolt pin is bunging up the anno.
Is there such a thing as a delrin bolt pin ?
And if so where do I get one ?
Thanks

Heres a couple of delrin bolt pins from Alamocity and a SLIK pin. Not sure if the SLIK pin is still available though.

You may need to cut the end off of that slik pin to work with your vertical pull pin.
