    Seems to be a a growing trend....

    Wow, that's a bunch of sliding orings. Everyone has to stake out their turf in the SPOOL WARS.

    I guess the poppet wars are over...

      Just spent some time looking over this application last night. It is indeed for a closed bolt inline spool gun. Complex, but should work well, and unlike the Smart Parts version of this, this one looks like it could get some decent cycle times out of it. I would guess it only needs one 4-way solenoid to drive it, with the forward driving port for the bolt also used to drive the spool back (fire).
