Can you buy honed bolt springs from AGD? (for the superbolt of course :))

would they be the same price as a regular bolt spring ($3)?

Or you can hone the one you have...

All you need to do is a take a dremel w/ grinding bit to the end of the coil on the end of the spring you're going to have towards the front of the bolt. If you don't have a dremel, use a needle file.

Excuse my stupidity but what does "honing" the bolt spring do?

It takes the sharp edge off of the inside of your bolt spring so it odes'nt wear the delrin off of your superbolt as fast.

I have a dremel but did'nt use it. I just used some sandpaper and it worked fine. You just need to knock off the hard edge a bit. Don't worry about sanding the bejeezus out of it.
