AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I posted this in the level 10 problem thread but thought I bring it up here also. My level 10 bolt is to big for my Emag bady and won't fit. It does fit fine in the Automag bodies. Anyone know what's up?

I don't know if you saw this already, but I remember seeing something about this problem. There might be a burr in the body somewhere that is holding the bolt up. If there is you might be able to file it down to make the bolt fit. There is also the possibility that the bolt is really too large for the body. I think that they said that you can sand the bolt down very lightly to make it fit. Don't quote me on this but I think I saw this come up before. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help guys. I miked my old bolt that measures at .680 in diameter at the tip. The Superbolt II miked in at .687. It won't fit through the ring in the Emag main body - which indeed does seem to have a slight burr on it. God knows how someone would get it off. Guess I'll just have to use this level 10 kit for the Retro Mag :) (Goes into the hopper left and warp 'Mag bodies just fine)

The SuperBolt II should be .685 at the tip to help it seal better down the barrel and reduce blowback. What you need to do is get a round needle file and smooth out the mainbody washer. They aren't too expensive and you can find them at most hardware stores.
Thanks for the advice. I had a needle file set but wasn't sure if I'd be able to get up in the body to knock down the burr. (They're kinda short) I also was worried about the coarseness of the file - but alas I was determined to get my level-10 going last night so I gave it a try. Burr is gone - level 10 is installed :)
Thanks,
