| Review: |
I purchased this bolt at the beginning of April and the bolt has preformed as the manufacturer claims. I purchased the O-Ringed version of the bolt due to my marker having some issues with blow back and pop corning. It has increased my efficiency slightly and reduced pop corning of the balls in the stack. Additionally the detent cut outs will increase the life span of my detents in the marker.
The only real draw back of this bolt is making sure it is lubed each time you use it and checking it during the games periodicaly. I played one game and only after several chops I remembered that I did not lube the bolt. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For the price the bolt delivers slightly better performance than the stock, but the addition of the O-Rings helps with other issues that seem to be prone to some of the ICD Promasters (mine included). |
