    I boiled my Superbolt now the sleeve spins?

    My superbolt was working fine after about 3000 paintballs and countless dry fires, but I boiled it anyway to be safe. I dryfired it with high velocity and it worked fine. I lowered the velocity and shot about 140 paintballs through my brand new freak with no problems except a barrel break which I attributed to lousy paint. I took my gun apart and the sleeve is loose enough for me to spin it by hand. Help Please, Thank You.

    Yea, mine swelled up as well after I boiled it. It actually eneded up being too big for the spring to move over it and I had to polish it down a hair so it would'nt get stuck. It also spins pretty easily but I tugged on it as hard as I could and it never came off.

      I boiled mine a while ago and ran into the delrin being to swelled up to fit the spring on but I just let it sit there until it drunk. I never had any problems with the sleeve turning.


      Taking mags apart is fun, its even more fun when you don't know what you're doing

                  Yep, 10 minute on an eg timer and let it sit all day while I was at work. I'm not worried about it though. Stuff happens.
