If I have an M3 but like the look of the MKII valve knob, would it make any difference?
I removed one of those lil balls (the little one) I was told it wasn't needed with the slug power kit. Is that correct? I hope so, bc that ball is definitely lost by now lolThe insides are different. M3 has two rubber balls under the m5 countersunk screw at the end of the knob. Those two balls are buffers for the step down piston also inside that valve knob. It’s purpose is to take the strike from your hammer stop(known as the C1).
With those rubber balls in place, this is why fx says not to use the rubber ball that comes in the slug power kit. The M3 valve knob piston combined wiyh the rubber balls prevent valve rod over travel.
You can switch the knobs out, but use the same M3 spring and use the rubber ball on the inside of the valve spring so the C1 has something to strike against. Go to the parts diagrams to find out the correct size of ball to use.
Do you by chance have an M3 diagram that shows the knob internals? I think the only time you would use a ball with an M3 knob is when converting an older MK2 from a couple assembly videos I watched. Seems to be conflicting info on this one. My MK2 has the Huma kit and the Power Block FX kit so I used one ball inside the valve return spring.The insides are different.

It’s on fxairguns.com website- go to support section and download the M3 diagrams and zoom in on the valve knob area.Do you by chance have an M3 diagram that shows the knob internals?
