This is the lightest bolt on the market. It weighs in at 13.6 grams. Less than half of the weight of the stock bolt, and about half the weight of most of the other after market bolts. Even lighter than the nano which weighs in at 17.3 (23 with delrin back).
It has the latest mods, shaved rib cage for better airflow, milled out center to lighten it, larger holes for better airflow. Basically its a version 2 of the lightning bolt, way lighter.
Due to the super lower weight of the L6, your gun will have the least amount of kick of any gun. This bolt will literally make your Ion the smoothest shooting gun on the market.This means that your gun will have virtually no kick with each shot. Its really quite amazing to feel. Your friends will envy you.
You can really hardly feel the gun shoot. With any other gun, when you shoot at anything over 3 balls per second, the gun shakes quite a bit with each shot. The more the gun shakes the less accurate it is.
We have designed our bolt to have the least amount of kick possible by making it the lightest and the most gas efficient.
Another aspect of a bolt that not many people think about is internal o-ring drag. We all know that the orings need to fit snuggly against any part in order to create a good air seal. We have designed the L6 to have the least amount of internal o-ring drag possible without having leaks.
I have not found any weaknesses with the product so far.
Review:
I got this bolt about a month ago, and all I can say is WOW! This bolt is so light, you can tell the difference as soon as you take it out of the box.
You can really tell the difference with the new bolt. First off, there is NO kick. I cannot feel any kick whatsoever when I shoot. Im sure that there is a small level of kick, but it is unoticeable unless your really looking for it.
One of the best things about this bolt is that it increases your efiiciency. Combined with a QEV, it is really awesome compared to stock. I don't really know the exact number off a 68/45, but I there is a definate improvement off the stock bolt.
Also this bolt slightly increases you maximum CPS. I can shoot 20bps with paint. (Limited by my hopper). The signature gold color is on this new L6 version of the bolt too, which is very cool to see flash across tjhe breach when you dryfire. Not really important, but still pretty cool.
Last off, it is only $55 off TechT's website, which is relatively cheap.
Conclusion:
It increases your efficieny, lets you shoot faster, reduces kick, looks cool, and is only $55!!! What are you waiting for? Buy it!

Review:
When i got my package in the mail i thought it was empty, but in side was the lightest, prettiest, bolt i have ever seen, crasftmanship on this is very nice, i never noticed the weight of the stock bolt till i held the L6.
with the combination of the Techt L6 and my 360QVE, my air efficency has increased.
the installment went with ease.
what would be real nice is if this company was to send a bit of lube with this bolt...
Conclusion:
If you want to save air, increase your cycle rate do go buy this bolt

Review:
I installed this bolt with the stock internals. I used Dow 33 lube on all orings and sealing surfaces. I dialed by dwell down and went to the chrono. With my pressure at 180psi my optimum dwell time was 30 clicks from the bottom. This was a significant reduction in dwell time from the stock bolt. I do not have a qev on this marker.
Well I went and played with this marker over the weekend after installing the L6 bolt and I had fantastic results. My efficiency was right aroun 1800 rounds for a full 68/4500 tank. I was absolutly blown away.
My hat goes off to TechT. Todd there was more than happy to answer questions over the phone and they have made a really great product.
Conclusion:
After using the Stock Bolt, The Lucky LBM, and the Techt L6 I abslutely go with the L6. Techt really took their time with this one and made something that works really well. If you are trying to decide between the L6 and one of the other bolts on the market I suggest the L6.

Review:
I havent gotten exact numbers in yet, ill update when I do. But I shot 500 rounds on my 47/3000 that was filed to 2500 and I still had 900psi left. So Im estemating around 900-1100 rounds per fill on a 47/3000. Thats a huge improvment. I reccommend this to anyone!!!! Before I was getting only 500ish rounds from my 47/3000
