Dragun T1 with, Palmers stab, J&J 12" ,CP on/off drop
Strengths:
Good price, quiter and a bit less recoil
Weaknesses:
Swelling, not as sexy as other bolts
Review:
My bolt has swollen up several times and sticks in the gun. It seems to be a temperature/humidity thing. Having said that, I would suggest that this material is a poor choice for close tolerance machined parts. I am back to using my crappy stock bolt, boo. APM is unreachable, boo. I hate flaky paintball companies... I have 2 Draguns, need I say more?
Conclusion:
In hindsight I wish I had spent the Extra $20 and gotten an antichop bolt made from a plastic that is known not to swell. If you want a cheap plastic bolt. this is it. If you want you gun to shoot right hot or cold, keep looking.

Review:
This bolt was an Incredible deal. I would have to say the best value for my money of any of the upgrades I have bought. My TES was unable to reach its full 20bps until I purchased this. No oil. No o-rings no worries. When you do a tune up simply pull ou the bolt, wipe any splooge off, squeege out the gun, slap it back in and your good to go. On my gun I dd not really notice a significant change in operating pressure. The difference in weight was the big factor that makes this bolt worth it. The only downside is that you have to use your pull-pin from the stock bolt on it because it does not come with it's own.
Conclusion:
Great Price. Great Results. Bolts really are not a flashy up for your gun but I gaurentee that the performance makes it well worth it.
When i first got it, i popped in the cocking pin, put it in my gun, and went outside and aired it up. I pulled the trigger, and is started to go full auto at like 10-15 bps, and i was like what the heck! So i was messin with the dwell settings and slowed it down from doin that so much. So later, i called a friend and he said just to lube up the internals, so i did. Later after i did that, i aired it up again and it worked perfectly. So there's no weaknesses about this product whatsoever.
Conclusion:
To APM: you did a nice job on this product. so thanks APM.

Ok, dont debate...$20 shipped for a bolt that is just as good as any timmy bolt and you can get it for a hole bunch of different guns(piranha, dragun, spyder, timmy etc...) Just buy the bolt, there is no better bolt out there. Just dont lube the bolt or else it will swell up(in some cases).

Weaknesses:
None
Review:
I think this is the best upgrade I have made to my gun (after painting the inside of the grip to match color!) Seriously, this small piece of equipment makes a big difference in the marker's performance. The shots are much more accurate and steady, it even made the marker a little quieter. You don't feel the push of the shot as with the aluminum stock one (which is not that bad). And obviously, installing this bolt will relieve the friction. PLUS THE BOLT'S COLOR LOOKS COOL ON MY BLACK TES.....
Conclusion:
My last though...BUY IT WITH CONFIDENCE. It is very easy to order it trought the web site, and the delivery was very fast.
With the stock barrel for some reason I was unable to get my gun above 260fps, I could with a shorter bizerk system, but when I got this bolt I was shooting very hot and had to turn it down quite a bit to about 325psi to get it to 280fps which is max where I play.
Conclusion:
Buy it - for 20 buck (including shipping) this is a great deal for a great bolt!

Review:
Weaknesses:
For some reason or another this bolt seemed to lower the operating pressure of my gun from almost 470 to 240,Which is a GOOD thing!! But the bolt also turned my velocity down from 270fps to 235fps. I don't kno how this is possible but thats what happened!! The bolt also gave my gun some major blow-back issues, it seemed like I was shooting a machine gun and the kick was horrible.
Strengths:
Dropped my guns operating pressure about 250psi !!! Less chops and less problems with my gun. Doesn't need to be oiled and I would recommend this bolt over the Shocktech bolt. It doesn't swell with heat, oil, moisture, or paint.
The price of this bolt doesn't reflect on it's performance at all.
I'm giving it an 8 because of the increase in kick.
Conclusion:
GO BUY IT, but then again you can waste ur money on some other bolt that costs more and doesn't work as good, UR CHOICE!

Review:
When I purchased my autococker's free flow delrin bolt I thought I had a great bolt. Performance wise it was really good. Then I sold my autococker and purchased my Dragun t1. I went on the forums and heard about these APM bolts and man am I glad I purchased it. These are the absolute best bolts on the market - hands down. They are made of nylatron which is better than delrin, they do not use any o-rings (aren't even made to have grooves for o-rings), and are just absolutely perfect performance wise. To top things off these bolts are packed with outstanding customer service. I just purchased two more of these bolts for my cousins and will make sure I have another one for my backup marker I am getting.
Conclusion:
Buy this product. It is $20 after shipping. I received mine two days after I placed the order and the company is in Canada. That is fast considering I am in Texas. You will not regret your purchase of this bolt at all.
