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.
Product Availability

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.
Rating:
8 out of 10

PMI Flush coking system
SP 14" All American Barrel
Strengths:

Fairly Accurate, especially at close ranges.
Weaknesses:
Chops, but not often
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.
Ummm... bolts on Rebel '02 Xtreme, and Kingman Spyder
Marker Setup:
Piranha VTL G2 with botomline & Bob Long 4 stage expansion chamber, (green bolt), Rebel '02 Xtreme w/aftermarket Spyder barrel, Kingman Spyder w/bottomline, expansion chamber, with an aftermartket barrel.
Strengths:
works pretty smoothly, 3 o-ring design, annodized, uses tank o-rings, its pretty light
Weaknesses:
scrapes at the rear end of the bolt on the bottom, not delrin.
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
annodizing, no need for polishing, accepts tank orings, and is fairly light
Weaknesses:
not a whole lot just it is open face and dirt gets in easier
Review:
okay
this blot came with my bl vf and i am highly pleased with its performsnce. just oiled it up a bit and and u r ready to go. nice big air indction hole and accepts tank o-rings so they are easy to replace. i think its a,umin with is decent in weight but heavy compared to the Boss' bolt.
Conclusion:
this product comes stock on a lot of guns. worth purchasing no, but if it comes with your gun its great
