CVX Valve in a Pro-Lite?

Does anyone know if a Pro/Carbine CVX valve will drop into a Pro-Lite?

Nope. With the Pro Lite/Am series, the line connects straight to the valve. With the .68 Carbine and Pro Carbine, the line screws into the gun, not the valve. So because the line goes straight into the valve on Pro Lites/Ams, there is no threading for the gas line on the reciever. You need threading to use the CVX valves. Also, the hole where the line goes on the Pro Lite/Am, is too big to tap threads. The only way this would work is if you used a valve from a m98 or 98c. Even then, I'm not sure if it is the right size. That and you would need to jimmy something in the extra room so the valve doesnt move back and forth since the hole on the Pro Lite/Am is long. So, no, it cannot be done without alot of custom work. It's just not worth it. If you're doing this cause your valve went bad, then I could just sell you an extra I have.

Thanks for the info!

The valve in my Pro-Lite seems fine, for the time being. I was just thinking more along the lines of making sure I'm covered in the future. After a quick search, I was able to find Pro-Carb replacement valves fairly easily, but not Pro-Lite valves.

I might take you up on that offer. Feel free to PM me a price.
