I install a Checkit Delrin bolt in my Dragun. Experianced immediate, substantial drop in velocity. Could not adust high enough. Balls dropped to ground at around 40 feet. Running CO2. No Reg. or X chamber. Just botttom line. Re-installed stock bolt and velocity picked up some, but reaized it still wasn't enough. Any ideas?

Sounds like air-loss. Is the Delrin bolt too small for your tube?

Did you try turning up your velocity? (u know with that little thing on the back called a velocity adjuster)

Also, u may need a stronger main spring.

That's a joke about the adjuster - right? Or you just didn't read my query- the part where it says," can't adjust any higher". From all the info I've got I believe your right about a stronger Main Spring. Especialy after close comparison of mine and another, it appears the previous owner clipped a little of the spring off.

wait, that doesn't make sense. the delrin bolt is supposed to increase your fps, not decrease it. yours must be defective.

After I try a different sring I'll consider defective.

No. Don't have a compact.
