Spacers

[Mr.Goodbar]

what exactly are the spacers? Are they also known as "Bumpers"? Could you maybe include a pic?

ok the spacers (aka powertube spacers) can be found on valves with out the level 10 upgrade..... one will be found insde the powertube..... their job is to allow the bolt to seat in such a way that it does not allow a leak down the barrel and not allow boltstick.... different sizes are availible in kit form....

the bumper fit over the powertube and stop the bolt from smacking into the valve when it returns to its start posistion after each shot.... they come in 2 colors each with its own use.... blue for all classic style valves ie. non retro/rt based.... and clear for the retro/rt based

spacers change the position where the powertube o'ring seals pressure.

use a shorter spacer if you have a leak

longer spacer if you have bolt stick

as virus said.:)

If the spacer is too short, does it leak out the back or out the front (barrel)?

I've been hearing that the blue bumper works better with the LX bolt... Is this true?
