Venturi bolt ID

[Aegis]

Forgot to ask this in my other post - found what appears to be a fair deal on another mag - classic, powerfeed w/ std barrel, has AGD bottomline and braid hose, but it has some kind of venturi bolt. Might be ANS but cant tell for sure. THe price was $200.

I know the LX is the way to go, but is a venturi bolt going to work at least as well as a stock bolt in the meantime? I was thinking of picking this up in case a buddy wants to come out and needs a marker, as well as a backup.

Thanks

did you want the bolt id or od(.680"). it'll work, no better than a stock bolt though.

I used to have an ANS phase II venturi on my mag classic, thought it was cool...till I found how much air I was wasting. The stock bolt is more efficient than the after market venturis. Sure it will work... but I'd suggest saving as mush as you can to go LVL10 :D

The only problem I ran into with the ANS bolt is excessive wear!! ANS uses a lower grade of stainless steel than AGD, so the bolt will wear out prematurely!!

as long as you dont use it for a while as toymyster said it should be fine, but if i were you id spend like 20 bucks and replace it with a stock one

I have a 7 year old ANS in my mag right now, it looks like its time to replace it due to the wear but 2 years of its life was with my Autoresponce frame(they love to eat bolts;) ) so Yes the ANS will work fine untill you get a level 10 bolt and the price looks about right if the gun is in good shape
