I just found one of my old APG magainzes from June of 1996. In it there is a nice Micromag add and in the corner there it says:

"Optional ACCURIZER Titanium Nitrade Coated, Anti-Stick, Foamiless Venturi Bolt For All Mags"

The picture of the bolt is gold and the rear of it (that rest against the bumper) looks like it has a cross hair milled into it. I dont rember seing this bolt before and dont belive it is the standard "venturi" bolt. I was just wondering if there was any info on this.

[RRfireblade]

It was a Titanium Nitrade Coated, Anti-Stick, Foamiless Venturi Bolt For All Mags.

:)

PTP made it as a Venturi option back when (slightly before actually) it was the 'in' thing to do.

The coating made it slicker and increased wear resistance. I still have a bunch of them laying around. Besides the coating , they aren't any real difference from a non foamy long nose L7 bolt. They look neater tho. :)

how much would one have to pay for such an item? :ninja:

[Pneumagger]

ohhh. TiN coated bolts....Talk about a pain in the sears butt. Wouldn't a TiN bolt wear a sear very fast?

I want one! :headbang:

[onedude36]

I would buy a foamie one.

[Pneumagger]

you would :rolleyes:

I don't know , didn't seem to. Nothing really special about them , maybe just as a Mag parts collectable or something.

Thanks for the info on them RRFireblade. I was first supprised to find that magazine, I guess I mis judged when I first got into paintball, and then was very supprised to see how many ads was in it selling automags, seems like every other page had a price listed on a classic mag, minimag, and micromag. That bolt really caught my eye. Just currious, how much did it weight compared to a stock level 7 bolt?

[Pneumagger]

It would weigh the same as ant venturi most likely. A TiN coating is way less than a thou thick. You might be able to measure it with an analytical balance.

The truth is, you can get any industrial coating company to put a TiN coating on things that are steel. It doesn't change dimensions, at least not any more than anodizing.
I wanted to TiN coat my whole mag at one point for the gold look, then use a WS2 (tungstun disulfide) coat on the whole internals to reduse friction to litterally near zero! Tell me that mag wouldn't be sweet.

Just think...a WS2 inner coated barrel. :ninja: Near Zero Friction. You could probably shoot a closer match and never have a barrel break.

EDIT: Jay, can you PM me about obtaining an ACCURIZER bolt? BTW, I love my MOTM T-shirt (I slept in it). accurizer bolts should be a MOTM prize as well, starting last month of course ;)

Found this in my parts box. Is this it?

Thats what it looked like in the magazine

[RRfireblade]

Yeah , that's it. It's cross hatched on the back side to break surface tension/stiction with the bolt bumper for less chance of bolt stick.

Thats the bolt that came on my first automag in the mid 90s. The gun was a blender and I hated it until a friend at the field gave me his stock level 7 after he upgraded to a ANS foamie bolt. The stock level 7 made it a different gun, one that was usable.
