Anyone have any experience of these? I presume Skeet is the man, just wondering what peep's opinion on them is?

Boldy i will quote you on this, as that is not what i saidBOLDY said:
Read the thread properly, and you will see that i said we will not be offering an Eclipse version of the Lucky Valve Kit.

from what ive read so far it seems that you have to add more parts than just the lucky valve to gain any appreciable reduction in kick. i.e. : lightened bolt/bolt pin and rammer but as you get absolutely no instructions or guides with the kit it is a matter of trial and error with different parts and weights, also you have to source out new springs as well. Evolve are rumoured to be working on a valve too.
Guys on pbnation have mixed results on fitting the kit ranging from 'made a slight improvement over standard with original parts still fitted' to 'oh dear my marker no longer works' !

Your right it does seem that Lucky have released half a product without proper testing, mine now appears to be at the post office waiting for me to pay the import duty (Damn bank holidays).ANDY-501 said:
I already have a lightweight bolt and pin sorted, just need to make a lighter rammer and start testing some springs.
Will report back if/when i get it to work properly
Martin from Evolve did post somewhere on pbnation about ego kits but stated they haden't looked into it in any detail
as i already own one, i can let you in on a few secrets, all this is, is a very light valve, ie it opens very easily.
i use a very light spring on the valve and have altered spring ratios in my lpr, so that i can run at 70psi.
i havent played with it yet, other than setup, it basically allows for kick reduction, at the min this is probably the only benefit found, although i will keep testing

keep us updated guys as to how much success you have with your kits and what mods seem to work best with the valve.
What will be interesting to know is the long term reliability of these units as in no. of shots before o-rings fail etc.
