| Review: |
This is the only bolt I've owned besides the stock bolt that I modified. I got a black one with the x-rings so I would have a good seal. Looking it over it seems very well made. Has an angled air inlet, and can come with buena quad rings, which are supposed to be better than o-rings. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. Every review or post I've read about these bolts has been nothing but praise.
It fit into my Rodeo very nicely and actually shoot more quietly than the stock bolt did. I've only shot it at the tree in my back yard, but no chops and seems to opperate very smoothly. |
|
| Conclusion: |
You'd be hard pressed to find a better value. Mine was only like $22 shipped to my house within 3 days. If you want a quality bolt for a bargain price look no further. |

| Review: |
After choosing a black, rear-cocking, 3-oring bolt, I received it through USPS three days later. ACP was very quick in processing my order. The bolt arrive packaged without protection but entirely undamaged. Upon inspection it was evident that the bolt still contained some chips from the machining process, as well as a few still hanging from the bolt. I also observed that the bolt was not entirely straight; it sloped upward in the rear very slightly. There were some [i] very[/i] minor blemishes in the surface. None of these detracted from it's function in any way and are nearly unnoticeable. The angled air inlet is quite wide for high flow, as is the rest of the bolt. The bolt face is very cupped, more so than would be possible to do with a stock bolt.
The fit of the bolt in my ACI Assassin (Spyder clone) was nothing short of perfect, with the bolt sliding easily but with no play. The third oring at the front of the bolt does an excellent job in sealing the barrel. I am also pleased to say that interferes very little with the ball detent and is unlikely to cause premature wear. While on the subject, the orings are of the x-type, with two sealing surfaces.
The first noticeable difference when shooting is the considerable reduction in recoil. As expected, a plastic bolt decreases it considerably. The second and slightly less noticeable change is velocity. There was clearly an increase for me, even over a venturi-less stock bolt. I also experienced an increase in accuracy when I installed this bolt, but it is likely due to the velocity change that I achieved. You should not expect a new bolt to increase your accuracy. Possibly the greatest effect this bolt offers is its almost nonexistant blowback. As an example, after loading 5 balls without a hopper (1 in chamber, 4 in feedneck) the top ball was partially above the top of the neck. Upon firing, the ball jumped slightly, but not enough to kick it out. This kind of performance is quite a difference compared to some Spyder guns that will throw and entire stack of balls out of the feedneck. I haven't tested the no oring or 2 oring bolts by ACP, but I would recommend the 3 oring bolt to anyone who has blowback problems. Mine are entirely gone now, and feed rate should improve.
I will update this review after extensive use of the bolt and report back on it durability. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this bolt for any Spyder/ spyder clone owner who wishes to decrease recoil, reduce blowback or improve their efficiency through lower pressure. At approximately 24 dollars with shipping, the ACP delrin bolt is a great way to improve your marker. |
