I think that Rocket Valve may be the way to go. Then bore it later if I need too. I was told that the aftermarket valve I bought at my local store was a LP valve but I have been suspect about that as it looks a LOT like the stock valve dimentions internally. Looking at the Rocket ports makes one reconsider the possibilities of boring out the port in the body going from the valve to the bolt. Wouldn't hurt and might help. Have to enlarge the bolt port to match. Since the sear lug is now just a plug anyway, just put in a bigger diameter plug in the new, larger, tapped hole where you bored out the receiver body. It wouldn't take a lot to make a stock valve retainer. Basically a washer with some gaps filed around the perimeter and then bore out the restriction. Just a thought. Thanks for the ideas.....
