| PMI's little brother to the "red bolt", the "green bolt" has an open face instead of a venturi and also uses tank o-rings, but instead of using flush cocking, it uses standard cocking rods. |

| The PMI Green Bolt is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

| Review: |
This came stock with my GTI. It works pretty well, but not really well. I like the fact that it can use tank o-rings because i always seem to have a lot of those laying around. It's also pretty accurate too. It's also a little light. The bad part about this is that it will scratch the inside of the gun a little bit. It will chop every once in a while, even with good paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good Bolt. |

| Review: |
This came stock on my Piranha. It served me well in it's period of use. For a stock bolt it is very good. At cose range (15-20yds) I could hit very small targets with great prescision. From farther distances it still performs well. Most bolts develop curves after 40 or so yards. This only had a very small curve.I upgraded to the Blue bolt and found that to be better, though. The red bolt easily outstrippes both. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't bother buying this (blue bolt is only $15) but if your gun comes with one its a good all-around bolt. I'd only give it a 7.5 but since there are no halves it gets an 8. |

| Review: |
This bolt was already in the marker when I bought it, but I am not sure that it is stock because I did not by the marker brand new. I really didn't know the difference that this bolt made in my marker until I started switching bolts around from other marker systems. I just like the way that it is setup with the bolt pin actually removable from the green bolt itself. Spyder don't offer this kind of construcion. It fires very fluid-like, and I have never chopped a single ball. It has never jammed on me, but I am a little worried about the firction wear in the rear end of the bolt. I will probably upgrade to a delrin bolt later. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This bolt is great as a stock bolt if you are receive it as one. If you find it for a decent price and would like to upgrade, I'd say go for it, but if you are really in the market for a smooth bolt, I recommend just going for the delrin |
