As The Dreamline waits..

[MACTEN]

As it waits for the Huma gen 3 AMP replacement.. I took it down again and thought about looking at the valve seat. This rifle is the Gen 3 with a different method for removing the valve seat I guess. Watched a video and this was mentioned (at least that it was almost impossible to remove.)

I took a look in there with my bore scope, but that didn't tell me much. I'm not going to try if one of the most experienced FX smiths out there says it's almost impossible. Unless someone has done it and not damaged anything.
Does someone have experience working on the GEN 3 Dreamline valve seat in here? I'm sure they get replaced as they are a consumable in a sense.

In comments: of the video he answers a person having issues with the newer version like I have. Link below.

​

If you have a more recent valve seat, the 6.5mm (part 2024C), those seats are nearly impossible to remove. Even I have troubles removing them. If it was the previous seat, 19060, I am not sure why it is not coming out, unless the o-ring has come out of its groove and jammed the seat in place... don't see how that would be possible though either. Sorry I cannot help more.

OK. Found the comments you talk about. Here's what you need.
Valve removal tool.
I have one and I can tell you it's a great bit of kit!

I even posted my review of this back in February!
If your gonna pull the Valve seat? I'd look into the Titanium replacements from 910.

Wrong version titanium seat . Tool might not work either.

The Tool should work.
It's Suitable for the following FX valve seats: 19217, 2024C.
I've used it on both.
Most of the valve seats come out with the forceps even without notches ground in them.

I'll look into the tool, but default to one of the best FX smiths at 910 with the almost impossible comment.
