AGD vs. ANS

[spazzed]

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.

[liigod]

everyone on this forum will tell u stock. u really should close the thread and save the bandwith. LOL. but im warning u now, they will all say stock.

[nw2c2003]

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.

[spazzed]

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.

[pip_999]

if your gonna get a super when they get redesigned you should be okay usign the stock bolt

[BTAutoMag]

I have an ANS and it works well for me. i barley have any breaks.

[veritas]

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...

Mine looked like the bottom left...:)

[RoadDawg]

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.

[BTAutoMag]

2nd picture on the left is what mine looks like.

[martlet1]

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.

hehe i saw agd vs ans so im thinkin.. AGoD vs ANuS

[CleenSweep]

My buddy had an ANS and it did fine...........till he bought his electro frame.........Hissssssssssssss Kraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak:p :D

[M-a-s-sDriver]

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.

really, hnmm. I thought i would never see it. I stand corrected.

[steveg]

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.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

Buy ANS now and you can upgrade to stock later.

[Lone Gunman]

Haha! ANuS, thats pretty good!
