Would it cause a problem if your level10 kit doesn't say "for SFL Emag" on it and you install that one in an SFL?

i think the XMag bolt is the same as a regular LX bolt. SFLs just suck, magman, thats why. Nobody likes them and Tom wants them to go away.

dude... i explained it to you already.... the SFL bodies are larger in diameter inside, so the LX Bolts have to be larger cause they are finicky mothers...... Superbolts are the same for SFLs as other mags though(or should be), but only the LX is different for SFLs than any other Mag.

PsychoBaller, would it cause problems if you inserted a standard level10 bolt into an SFL Emag and NOT one that had "For SFL Emags" written on the package? Wondering because I've been getting a few chops on the Level10 which AGD installed.

The worst thing you might experiece is a little bit of blow back It really should'nt be a problem. If you're worried about it, e-mail AGD and see what it'll take to get one of the larger diameter bolt.

How much larger in diameter is an SFL bolt?

I have it on good authority that SFL's were made from recycled Aluminum knock off soda cans and that X Mags are being made from Diet Pepsi cans that Tom himself empties. That would explain the slowness of the bodies wouldn't it? I mean I hear it takes something like 200-300 Pepsi cans to make one C&C. Think about it! ;)

sorry psycho, i posted this before you explained.


Phil, your just confusing, but i will smile and nod happily.


Now i do remember the origional superbolts being larger as well, Because people were complaining after misssends that my bolt wont fit etc. and thee were for sfl e-mag superbolts
