Hello spudfiles,
long time no see, but school and some work got me distracted.

After some failed tests with homemade piston valves I now decided to try a commercial QEV.

I tried hard to find some suppliers here in Germany but to no success.
If there are any other german members pls help me out, otherwise could someone give me a link where I could buy one preferably from the UK?

I'm currently working on a SVD Replica, but i first want to have the gun working before trying to fit a stock etc.

As always, happy spudding

Here is a great UK site for buying pneumatic components. This is there page on QEV's http://www.airlines-pneumatics.co.uk/we ... de=S070139

You will have to check if they ship to Germany. Unfortunately this weekend is a bank holiday so they probaly wont be open till tuesday.

Searching for suppliers - you're doing it wrong

There are places selling them - I am sure.

Have you acctually googled the word 'Schnellentlüftungsventile' or were you lazy enough to assume that everyone everywhere calls them QEVs?

I can't imagine there are no QEV dealers in germany, as it is a country full of machine factories and well known part producers.

Festo is german too, for example. This however is one of those ^&$#&*%$*%-ass companies not selling parts to privates.

Thanks Poland,
I tried googling that of course ;), but somewhere on that site it says the minimum price is 75 €, which I don't want to pay as I dont have much other things to buy.
Other sites sell them for over a hundred € a piece, that joke kinda tells itself.
I guess I maybe could find some at a hardware store two towns away, I'll have a look there, but usually they aren't sold in shops over here :(

Anyway, I'll try and see what I can get, thanks so far

Yep, another problem I ran into, maybe it's just too late for me to do real research ;)

And I can't say when I'm going to build the gun, but it'll be a pneumatic only. A SVD replica? haven't seen that yet, but I don't surf the hybrid section too much

I might have to change the topic to mass genocide and why we all hate germans to avoid answering the question

:D


what about this one ? http://www.fluidconcept-shop.de/pneumat ... ntile.html


If that doesn't help check ebay or order them from poland - it's closer and cheaper

try this one -> http://www.pneumatig.eu/zawory-szybkieg ... 1_155.html
it isn't the cheapest one but at least you can change the language of the site to german

Lately there have been some very reasonably priced QEVs appearing on eBay, here's an example.

Well sort of.
