Broken Rainbird Solenoid
I was just shooting one of my launchers that uses a modified rainbird valve and my trigger valve snapped out of the rainbird. Does anyone know where/if there are replacement parts for rainbirds? The body of the valve is okay, just the top that gets screwed in is completely obliterated

Whoops... were you holding it and the recoil broke it off?

It will probably be cheaper to by a new one. And for the replacement parts.

You guessed it! I was shooting water to clean out the barrel. Well your idea worked really well for 3 shots! lol. I'm kinda disappointed, it took me forever to get the thing actually all fixed up, but it happens I guess.
And yeah, I figured buying a new one was cheaper, I just didn't know for sure

Consider replacing it with a 3/4" or so ball valve, just as good a pilot if opened sharply and less prone to damage.
