Why Super bolts realy SUCK!

[jarvisthemonkey]

I got my SFL, and the "Super Bolt" Broke the first time I used it.
I got my replacment bolt and the D*** thing does not even fit into the God Forsaken Emag!

I spent $1400 buck and the Stupid thing does not even work!

Dude, that sucks. Just RMA it and they'll send you a new one.

And number 3 bolt is in the mail...
Complimant of the "Mad" AGD tech

Anyone know if I would have any problem if I threw a regulat Mag boltin my SFL emag? Like an ANS venturi?
Would it work right?

bolt

Don't get a venturi bolt...they are not made to AGD specs and will wear out faster.

Use the stock emag bolt (if it came with one), I'm not very familiar with SFL's, I just know that they look cool

Too bad I can't afford one

What probably happend is first you got the 1 out of every so many bolts that is defective (happens with everything, not everything comming off the line is perfect).
You may have gotten an Extreem bolt by mistake for the new one, it has happend before.

I sure HOPE he got an Extreme bolt since is has an SFL! :P

Ok, they accidently sent him the bolt for the type of e-mag which he did not have. That better?

[jarvisthemonkey]

They sent me the BIG one, or the screwed up one. I just one that works.
Question? If the End of the Extreme is bigger how does it fir into smaller barrels? My understanding is that Mag bolts slide slightly into the base of teh barrel, if it is bigger how is it suppose to fit into small bore barrels?

[headcase]

On normal Mags the bolt is right around .675 or maybe a little smaller so that it will fit into a barrel without a problem.

I'm not sure about the extremes but since the ball no longer fall directly into the barrel, I don't THINK that the bolt has to go into the barrel anymore. It just has to clear the feed tube.

Hopefully someone else will know for sure.

[headcase]

On second though, since the barrel holds the breech in place, the bolt has to go into the barrel. Or at least I think it does.

[jarvisthemonkey]

So with that being so why would AGD want to make the bolt head BIGGER? I mean you go much 0ver .680 your freak is worthless half the time.

Here's the deal. The SFL you bought has the Superbolt that had problems with cracking at the tip. All you need to do is send it in to AGD for an updated one and they'll put a new sleeve on it and a foamie and it will be fine.

On the Xtremes/SFL's, the bolt does not go into the barrel so they made it large enough at the tip so that it seals and doesn't have much blowback and is more efficient. That's why there's an Xtreme only Superbolt and one just for regular Mags. The regular Mag one has to be small enough to fit in small bore barrels. There have been some mix ups with people getting Xtreme bolts instead of regular Mag bolts. If you get one and it doesn't fit in your barrel, send it back for the correct one.

[jarvisthemonkey]

So then BlackVCG what do you think was wrong with bolt number 2 the one that was too big to fit into the hole? I mean this thing just will not fit into the hole (comon problem of mine ) So do you think it was just a manufactureer error on that one bolt?

[BlackVCG]

Possibly. I have no idea. I'd need to see the bolt and compare it to other ones to see what the deal is. Just call up AGD and deal with them.
