    Foamies? Is that still the only way?

    I am resurrecting my old MiniMag. I haven't played with it for 10 years. The bolt I have uses glue-on "foamies".

    Is there a simple upgrade to permanently get rid of foamies for this marker?

    TIA.

    the only way to get rid of them is just pulling them off, but there is a bolt where its "foamie-less", which is, well, no foamies used!

    but YOU WANT FOAMIES!! foamie bolts are lighter on paint, thats why.

      I always left them off when they fell off (they never seemed to stay glued very long), never really needed them. Only time I broke paint in a barrel is from bad paint. Or chopped when i forgot to turn on the hopper. My recommendation, get a level 10 kit and install that, I havent chopped paint since, and that bolt is missing its foamie also.......

            And mine fell off after 500 rounds or so..................lol.
            IMO they are just not needed. I have shot over 20 cases of paint outta my mech mag with the foamie missing from the Level 10 bolt, and never a problem. Only breaks were barrel breaks from bad paint.
