try super glue

[ThisIsTheLongestUserName.]

Go to a hobby shop and buy CA glue. Its used for holding tires to rims on RC cars and a bunch of other stuff. Trust me its stronger than superglue.

use superglue but you have to make sure that you get EVERYTHING off of the front of the bolt
all old glue, dirt, whatever. if its dirty it wont stick long

use a little rubbing alchol and it will speed up the glue removal

[trains are bad]

CA=superglue

[BlackVCG]

In my sig is a link to a certain type of CA glue that has rubber particles in it to keep the glue from getting hard and brittle. This helps keep the foamie from blowing off due to shock that goes through the bolt that would otherwise make brittle glues crack.

can you put foamies on lvl 7 bolt, or will it add more probs. then benifits?

[ghideon]

baka, you're more than willing to try, but I don't think it would be a good idea. IIRC, Tom said that the foamie really isn't even needed on on the LVL10 bolts. I'd say it's there for more of a placebo effect.

the good 'ol sugar pill. Well i'll try it if someone has extras but i don't think i'll buy any then. B/c wasn't the lvl 7 chopping issue w/ the outer edge of the bolt?

Fun Fact Baka = Idiot in japanese. you probably knew.

My foamie blew off 2weeks ago. Last saturday I played w/ my mag(w/out the foamie) and it didnt chop a ball all day. If your level 10 is working properly, then the gun will still work fine even w/out the foamie.

Yes, foamies were a stock feature on the early automags. I remember buying my first foamieless bolt.

no big differences, I guess if you are using a nonLX bolt and really brittle paint it could help, but not much. I wouldn't bother, it could cause problems, if the balls get caught on the foamie and don't feed smoothly you are going to chop like mad.
