    What lvl bolt in my two newly aquired Minimags?

    I got two Minimags off Craigslist today for cheap. They don't look like they have been touched since the mid-90's. I am a bit rusty on my bolt-recognition skills, so can someone tell me what level bolt these are? They have a rubber foamie. While we are at it, can someone tell me what bolt I have in my Classic? I dimly recall putting an aftermarket bolt in it or something.

    The two Minimags are at the top, my Classic is at the bottom.

    Here is a close up of just the bolts. The two Minimag bolts on the left, my Classic's bolt on the right. The leftmost bolt is missing the rubber foamie.

      Take a picture of the back side, although I doubt there level 10.

            what kind of trigger frames are those? They don't really look like the carbonfiber ones, are they the older aluminum?

                Also, the tip of the powertube have the slotted fitting instead of the hex head that LvlX has.

                Not sure of the frame on the left, but the one on the right looks like stock with PMI grips.

                  I didn't think the trigger frames would attract any attention. Here is a pic, my guess is that they are all stock. The previous owners just made a few upgrades (remote hose adapter, red dot sights). I also got some VL1000's (broken lids of course), two really old looking CB radios, and a Vents Predator mask.

                    You're correct, the ANS on the right is a horrid bolt, if you have the stock bolt i would go back to that. Those are old level 7s though.

                    And as far as the triggerframes, you are one lucky SOB, 3 aluminum frames, i've wanted one ever since i saw one on my friend's dad's mag when i was 10.

                      On the ANS, I do have the stock bolt, but the ANS has not given me any problems, that I could tell. Don't fix it if it ain't broke, or are there good specific reasons to go back to the stock (level 7) bolt?

                      Well one of the Minimags will probably go up for sale sometime (I don't think I need 3 classics) so keep your eyes peeled!

                      Update on the Minimags: I took things apart, lubed everything up good, put 10 drops of lube in the air connector, and gassed them up, just to see if they would with the existing o-rings. One of them is leaking out the front, so I need to go re-watch the videos to see which o-rings to replace. The other one gassed up and shot just fine! Not too bad for guns that haven't been gassed up for over a decade, no?

                        If leaking out of the front means down the barrel I believe that always points to the powertube o-ring.

                          Correct, unless it only leaks down the barrel with the trigger held, then it is a leaky on/off top o-ring.

                            Which causes what was referred to as the water splinker sound in the AGD videos, right? I guess watching the vids really did come in handy.
