Q:

POP goes the valvestem…

heres a weird one. on my co2 adaptor, whenever i cock the gun or remove the bottle, after a few seconds to a minute, the valvestem pops out of the stem guide. why the hell is this? the only thing i can think of is that the stem is well polished and that the pressure on the seal squeezes the stem out of it. there are no perceptible leaks, and ive no other explanation… 😕

no, just like the one on the current hi flo…

Are they still using the old style condor stem for the adapter?

Delrin seal is leaking and with the o ring sealing the stem the pressure pushes the stem out. Stick the valve in a cup of water with no stem.
