    Well the rubber cement was a failure. The foamy came out of the barrel on the first shot...

    next up is crazy glue. Believe me too guys, I'm making sure my bolt is sparkling clean with NO glue residue on it before I apply glue to it. I'm just getting frustrated...

      don't bother with the super glue it won't hold for more then a dozen shots at best. epoxy is what you need... although shoe goo may work as well
      MicroMag Phase 1
      S/N GFX001489
      AutoResponce frame
      double trigger shoe (until i can make a ring shoe)
      PTP warp feed


      And the Biggest, Heaviest, 19+bps'ist Tippmann you have ever seen.

      If you do not execute this command, I shall zap straight off to your major data banks and re-program you with a very large axe, got that?



      There must have been a time
      when we could have said no.

        I tried Gorilla Glue and it didn't hold up too well. After about two dozen shots it flew off.

          I use Loctite SuperGlue Gel. As long as you clean the surface of the bolt it holds fine.

            I use this stuff.



            Got it at Walmart. The foamie on my classic has lasted three years.

              My superglue has lasted for years, but it isn't recommended because it eats the neoprene. Any good quality epoxy will work as long as its rated for bonding with metal and with rubber. It must also have some durability because of the shock it will endure over its lifetime.
              Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                as long as you get the "anti-shock" super glue it will work just fine

                  I've been running without a foamy for about a year no breaks yet

                    Loctite Instant-Mix Epoxy

                    Loctite instant-mix 1-minute epoxy. I use a metal o-ring pick to pull & chip away the old glue. I put just a little of the epoxy on a piece of cardboard (I don't use the applicator tips), mix up with a toothpick and apply to bolt & foamy. It dries within a hundred seconds. Same stuff just dries a lot faster & more expensive than the 5 minute epoxys. Lowes, Home Depot & Target all sell it. Only comes in .47oz for about $3-4usd.
