Madbull Grenade Fill valve

[MilanWG]

Hi there.

I recently got my hands on a MadBull M576 Rubber Slug Shot grenade, which is a ton of fun to shoot.

But I managed to break the fill valve in my last shot, which fired the top portion of the fill valve and the o-ring, leaving just the cylinder portion of the fill valve inside my grenade shell.

My question is: how do I replace the MadBull fill valve in my grenade shell?

Help would be much appreciated,
– Thanks

if i'm reading this right you're saying you blew the head off the fill valve like popping off the a flower off the stem?

Correct.

I have the top round "head" which has separated from the main "stem" of the fill valve. The little o-ring which sits below the round "head" is gone and the "stem" is still in the original spot in the grenade. Hope that makes sense.

I can take pics if that helps...

edit - here is a picture of the Mabull replacement fill valves to better illustrate what I am talking about:

update - after thinking about it for a while, I realized the remaining "stem" of the valve in the grenade must be still screwed in even though the "head" of the valve had broken and separated completely. I used a pair of long-needle nose pliers and managed to grip the remaining "stem" of the valve in the grenade and turn at the same time. After awhile I was able to slowly get the valve unscrewed and free from the grenade.

A new Madbull replacement valve should fix this and having a couple extra backups might not hurt in case this happens again (hopefully not).

Thanks

Here are some pictures I took in case anyone else runs into the same problem down the road.

The broken valve "stem" can be seen below still screwed into the grenade.

Thanks man, I have one of these and was wondering what to do if it failed.
