| Review: |
I ordered the bolt directly from Alamo City, Shipping was fast about 2 weeks to Canada. Bolt was well packaged, but didn't come with any care instructions, not a big deal for me, but maybe for the beginner.
I put the bolt in and shot a few times in my garage. Accuracy and consistency greatly improved with this bolt. I took it out to a local indoor field and played about 25 air ball games with it and it performed very well, low pressure worked amazing. Not a single chop. Even when my marker was running really low, the marker continued to re cock and shoot. All my friends with their A-5's and stock spyders were very jealous.
I had a chance to test it w/ HPA and the consistency improved a little when shooting rapidly. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great product, Great price, would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their stock bolt. |

| Review: |
These bolts are the best you can buy for a spyder. Make sure you do not get the low-blow model instead though. The three o-ring model is the best. The reason these bolts are nice is because they are completely delrin. Delrin is a type of plastic. It is self lubricating, so you don't have to lubricate it. Because of it's o-rings, it has a great seal. This keeps air from going around your bolt, and up your feedneck. That can cause chops. So in a sense, these bolts help prevent chops too. Alamo City Paintball has great customer service as well. They will always be willing to help you. The only problem is that it is $20 for a piece of plastic. Not bad, but come on. It really is just a piece of plastic. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great bolt, made by a great company. If you are looking to upgrade your stock bolt, go with this one. |

| Review: |
I've probably bought about 10 bolts over time and would continue buying from them. They have the most affordable quality bolts around, backed back excellent customer service.
What more can I say about this bolt? It's sleek, full delrin, comes with xrings(double the seal) and is just a drop in replacement! This bolt is excellent when you are upgrading to Low Pressure because the bolt is very high flowing(increases about 20fps) and reduces friction, therefore you can cycle faster.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this bolt to anybody who is looking for a reliable, affordable, and quality delrin bolt. |

Never break a ball again, works well in cold weather, improves accuracy and CO2 life |

| Review: |
I never broke a single ball but sometimes seemed to jump back far too much. Also since the bolt is lighter it improved my C02 life on my marker also. It did help accuracy I good amount. But I wouldn't recommend shooting this with pure practice paint. Whenever A ball would normally be chopped it will jump back I tested it and it shot 4-5 on the same ball before it ever broke (don't try that). For some reason it works better in cold weather well as good as a marker can work in 20 degree weather with C02 |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great upgrade for all markers. Especially those who use good paint and have trouble with chopping balls |

| Strengths: |
Prevents almost all chops
Light
Easy to clean |
|
| Weaknesses: |
When it prevents a chop it freezes the bolt and you have to recock. |
|
| Review: |
This is a great accesory for the imagine aka the blender since it prevents most chops. When the bolt encounters a chop it freezes in place and the marker makes that "outta gas noise" requiring to recock. After a hard day of playing you need to make sure you have some form of plastic lube to keep your bolt in good condition. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a great upgrade buy it and never regret it. 10 because it simply does what its supposed to. |
