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.
RA them back to us guys, we will replace the sleeve and put a foamie on them.

i boiled mine and i have no spinning problems or anything, did you guys do exactly like tom said, ecactly 10 min, and mine took hours to get back to room temp.
I got mine for christmas and dont know if i got a too long sleve version, if there a way to know for sure?

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.
