This problem has been brought up a couple of times before in previous posts. If you contact FX they will send you the correct part for your gun.

Biohazardman is correct.When I went to install my 720 plenum the valve tube end was too large; called FX and was sent the slightly more narrow end and all was good.

I agree but the problem is with such users who live in such countries where there is no FX dealer and the users import such parts by requesting someone. 

I felt it good to make it clear for such potential purchasers so that they couldn't get stuck.

So if the dealers know when you order they will install the smaller end or charge you for the extra piece? Hopefully not but I know how things go sometimes.

In fact my friend imported it from Huma Hollad. Huma is agreeing to send the replacement part free of cost.

I understand that all those dealers who are selling this kit should mention on their website that the users should chose the correct size out of the two sizes.

But normally it is not mentioned on selling websites that this part comes in two sizes and the Purchaser may face the problem so the Purchaser should know the size of the part of his gun and purchase the compatible part.

I made the video to inform the people so that they may not face such situation.

The OD difference is maybe 0.1-0.15 mm and that can be easy fixed = a 3 minutes horror story with a fine sandpaper - or - you wait couple weeks for the other part.

This story with a 720 plenum is well known and everybody shall be ready for a risk management when purchasing from third party.

Its an easy problem to solve - Sadly I didnt do a video or Photos when I fitted mine - but I am doing 2 more 1X mk2 and 1X Mk3 in the next few weeks - so I will do at least photos or a video then.



but see if you can picture this:

1 insert the allen bolt from the left hand side

2 insert a suitable piece of metal into the slit and use the allen bolt to gently open the action -

3 slide the valve tube end in and make sure it is aligned

4 unscrew the allen bolt and remove the metal plate

job done
