Is the ANS Venturi bolt worth the money? Or should I just stick w/ the stock bolt? I know, Superbolt is what I should get, but I've got both stock, and ANS bolts, just wondering which to use until I get a superbolt.

Use them both and see which you like better.
But I've always had bad luck with aftermarket bolts.

The thing with the ANS bolt, is its made of a softer Stainless Steel, which will wear faster than an AGD bolt, which is made of a much more durable steel.

That's what I've heard, just wanted to make sure. Thanks folks ;-)

I tend to disagree with the "softer steel" theorists. I have used an ANS bolt for some time and I have not noticed any more wear on it than my stock. Granted, there is no noticable difference between the two bolts, I just don't want ANS to get a bad rep for the wrong reason. Don't not get it because it will wear quicker...don't get it because it won't improve your game!

I totally agree with Fred. Had one, used it for quite some time, no problems with it. But no real noticable gain with it either.

I ate my ANS bolt in less than a year. This was the first generation ANS bolt back about 6 years ago.

No breaks here either with the ANS...except with crap paint...but who doesn't get breaks with crappy paint...
I think both bolts work fine...i just need to keep foamies in my stock of supplies...

Only problem I've had with my ANS Phase II is I'm now out of foamies and it still shoots paint w/o as many breaks.

I use the ANS Phase II and have no problems with it. The stock one is ok, but I get less breaks with the ans.

liigod, not everyone here will tell you that. I think from my experience that the ANS is superior at not breaking paint. Other than that, probably the same, but maybe a little less efficient because of all the small "venturi" holes.

I as well have been happy with an ANS bolt
A point that I have raised before is that the AGD long nose
bolt projects about 1/16" into the breach when the gun is
pressurized whereas the ANS bolt (which is about 1/16" shorter than the AGD) does not.
the short nose bolt does this as well but lower inside the
breech.

Buy ANS now and you can upgrade to stock later.
