Teflon bolt demand?

[pump]

im getting a custom teflon bolt, and im wondering if anyone thinks they would buy one
retail would prablably 50 bucks

Dia .689 and maybe .695

[urciuoli]

wat would be the advantage of teflon over derilin???

[Hekrill]

Only if it owned Tantrums, JAMs, Vapors, and the like...

which I doubt.

[pump]

meh well it does have less friction
and its gonna be a nice fit to my 2 B2Ks

other than that its problably not gonna be the end all be all


i just need a bolt with detent groves and thats fits tighter in my gun, its gonna be teflon since my friend makes them for timmys and he has a B2K with no bolt so he was gonna make some for his gun and mine


i have/had a Tantrum 02, Shocktech, Stock, Vapor 1, and 2 Blinds.
and to me only the Blind, when it was working, was better than a good fitting stock bolt.


i think this bolt, if it fits properly in your gun eliminating Blowback, will be better than a stock or every other bolt just for the reason that it has less friction than Delrin or Ertalyte


if there is a demand for them i was thinking he could make more than 3 and sell them to us, so this thread is just to see if there is any demand

The biggest problem with Teflon is the material is much softer than Delrin or Ertalyte. This to a reduced cycle life in the bolt. I have already made some out of teflon and abandoned the material because of this issue.

As far as delrin or Ertalyte go neither one will have that much more friction vs a teflon bolt and the material is much more durable than the teflon, or at least the kind I tried. I would recommend your friend look into either material for his bolt. Not to mention they are actually a bit cheaper than the teflon.

I knew you would come Shootpaint! If you made them out of delrin, that would be coolerer-er-est.

[pump]

yeah SP Teflon will have less friction
but not like Delrin and Ertalyte have much anyway

and yea teflon is much softer

but im getting the bolts for free
and he already makes them for timmys so ill be happy




Hekrill
you know SP already makes custom bolts for your gun right?

[Hekrill]

Yeah, I know. Any way, hope you guys have fun with those bolts. Shoot me a PM sometime about how they work.My friend is shooting a B2k, might want one to compare to his Vapor...

And BTW, where would you get a block of that stuff? I might try and make a triggger or two with some. Seems pretty smooth...he he...

[pump]

oh its not SP making them just my friend

[Hekrill]
