Kingman Spyder Rodeo marker
SP Tear Drop 14" barrel
Strengths:
None. Never received it.
Weaknesses:
Never received the product.
Never heard from the seller.
Review:
I contacted the guy, asked about the possibility of shipping the bolt to Poland and paying in cash (Paypal didn't work for us then). He said no problem and we agreed on the price. I filled the envelope with $27 and never heard from the guy since. No bolt, no response to many inquires about the status of my order. No confirmation of cash reception or shipping my order. Nothing. It's almost year now since I got the idea of changing my bolt and still using the stock one.
Conclusion:
Buy from him only via eBay - you can spoil his reputation that way and maybe this is the only way to get your bolt.

DELIVERY IS SLOW!
Review:
I got this bolt after 2 WEEKS! I swear, they must deliver this thing by hand for it to take that long. Anyways, it looks nice, is very light, and has O-ring grooves. I tested this out in my Spyder Imagine 2K4 as soon as I got it. I noticed a little daylight around the bolt but I ignored it. I shot it a few times and noticed MAJOR blow back. The balls would fly out of my feed neck and back into the hopper. I installed the O-rings it came with and the problem was fixed. First I tested it on single shot and it worked great. Then I noticed that as I increased the FPS, I was breaking balls. I was getting annoyed when I realized that it was just my FPS being too high. I also noticed how quite and how much less recoil there was. Oh yeah, this gun will NOT eat the insides of your gun like the retarded stock bolt will. This thing is great.
Conclusion:
Great bolt, other than the delivery.

Weaknesses:

Review:
Ordered bolt on Oct 18 and by Nov 7 had not received it. Attempted to contact Spudnuk'l Paintball Products several time through 3 e-mail addresses and the site phone number and never got any replies. Put in complaint through Paypal, paypal was given a bogus USPS tracking number that the USPS said did not exist. Paypal found in my favor but could not refund the $35.80 I paid due to no funds in the Spudnuk'l account. As of this review it is Nov 26 and still no bolt or refund.
Conclusion:
Spudnuk'l Paintball Products is a rip-off. Buy at your own risk. If you get the item you order consider yourself lucky. They do not answer emails or phone calls. If I could give them a 0 I would.

Review:
i used my dragunfly at my friends house before i got the mylatron bolt and it chopped a few and it was pretty loud. After i got the bolt i noticed it was much quieter...you can barelly hear the gun. also i didn't chop any and i was shooting faster. this bolt looks wierd because it's white and it sticks out the back of my gun like an inch.
Conclusion:
All in all this bolt is very good and i recomend it fully. you can get them on ebay for 25$
PMI-3, nylatron bolt, ported valve, lightened hammer, auto mag spring mod, 14" All American, CAR stock, Lonestar bottomline,12V Revy
Strengths:
Light
No lubrication required
No O-rings
Weaknesses:
Customer service
Review:
This was a great upgrade for my marker. Improved my ROF another 2-4 bps. I ran 600+ ball through my gun with out a chop or misfire. The paint I was using was over a month old and had some dimpling. The bolt actually improve my gun accuracy a little over the venturi bolt I was, so in concert with the barrel I was group at 50 ft a 4x4" area and at a 150ft a 6x8" area.
Key advantage over Delrin is it will not swell, do to oils or other liquids coming in contact with the bolt.
Now for the bad, customer service is not the best at this company, so if this is a critical upgrade try to contact them first to see if they have your model in stock. Waiting time is lengthy I heard. I have a 4 day delay I getting mine shipped, but could not get in touch with someone to find out if it shipped.
Conclusion:
I will most likely purchase another bolt for a Piranha I own, but be fore warned they have terrible customer service.
No lubrication needed
No orings to replace
Very light
Weaknesses:
Pisspoor customer service
Extreme long wait for bolt delivery
Review:
Ran almost 2000 rounds through this in one day and did not pinch or break one ball. Seemed to improve accuracy by a good amount, and held up great under high rates of fire and always recocked without o-rings. I would recommend this bolt highly to any marker owner. This bolt would get a 10 but. The quality and design of the bolt no way reflects on the terrible customer service and sale dept. of Spudnuk'l, I waited almost a month with no contact and no bolt. When trying to contact them you will get no respose and their shipping is a joke. I am not the only one to have this problem with them, and if you ever do get a email from them it is a lie or some song and dance about they sent it out last week even though the tracking number shows it was sent out days after you complained not last week. I would love to tell someone to buy this bolt on quality and performance alone but for some reason they will sell you the bolt and wait sometimes over a month to finally ship it. Dealing with this company is a headache and someday I will say that it was worth the wait but as of now I am still ticked about waiting over a month for my bolt and being straight up lied to about it by Spudnuk'l. It is a good bolt though and I like it very much. They do have a repair and replacement policy but I can only imagine what dealing with that would be like.
Conclusion:
Great bolt for high or low pressure(depending on what bolt you get)
Great design and preformance
If you don't need the bolt anytime soon you will be very happy
Jt 5.0: Spudnuk'l bolt, Category 5 drop, 32* macro line, 16in Demon barrel, 32* spring kit, 20oz CO2.
Strengths:
-Cheap
-Nylatron(no oil)
-Dentent grove
-Increases fps
-Angled Porting
Weaknesses:
-Flimmsy cocking rod
-Ugly
Review:
This bolt is a good upgrade even though people say bolt should be your last upgrade. The nylatron is key to not scratching your internals. The bolt puts more air on the ball increasing accurice and fps. The bolt requires no o-rings, they are only there if the diameter is larger then the bolt. You dont have to oil this bolt and requires less matenice then delrin.
Conclusion:
This is a good bolt, but i wish it looked better and could come in different colors.
Just got back from a 3 man turny I used this bolt the whole time it worked perfect I DIDNT CHOP ONCE on a JT 6.0!! the offical paintchopper!! I have a 3000 psi tank and it lasted 2 times as long as it usually does I love this bolt out of 1500 all different paint (mostly bigballs) 0 CHOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review:
This is a very nice aftermarket bolt, and I'm glad I got it for my Rodeo. I had to turn down the velocity of the stock setting because the bolt sends all the air directly to the ball. With lesser quality "house paint" it blows em to bits in the barrel. Once I corrected the velocity it shoots like a dream. I bought this on ebay for $20 plus shipping and it did take awhile. It's worth it if you don't need it right away. They say they are working on it though. The light weight of the bolt and the direct airflow is more efficient in gas consumption to so you'll get more shots per tank. All in all it's a very nice bolt. Good job Spudnuk'l...
Conclusion:
Get it if you are think about upgrading your bolt. It's better than those other Delrin bolts because they will swell if you get paint on them. The you'll have an 80 dollar piece of junk. At the price you pay for Spudnuk'l bolts, you can't go wrong with this one. Get it! Gets a 9 only for the cocking rod but you can buy one that's threaded to take a cocker rod.
