Superbolt...What do you guys think?

[BIGJON]

I have been hearing mixed opinions about the superbolt. Im wondering what you guys think of it. I dont break much paint and i was wondering that if i got one would i notice better performance besides less ball breaks? give me some imput. thanks

I was looking for some input on this too so spit it out

yeah

superbolt is a wicked upgrade

reducs recoil on your gun, and it reduces ball breakeage, it is the best bolt for your gun

but it'll only last you about 10 cases, cause tehy are still trying to get it all workin and stuff

plus they aint sellin em now

I love mine, I'm wondering if it would work if I put on a Ti sleeve?

I love mine. I've got more than 10k shots on it with minimal signs of wear. One thing they are temperamental with though, I installed one of the "new" style of the delrin nubbins and it got all sorts of horrible bolt stick/short stroke sounding noises. This new nubbin I had not cut a little notch in the back of the head so it could fully go out of the barrel. I put my old nubbin back in, an old style delrin which i had cut a bit out of the back of the head so it could retract from the barrel, and it shot flawlessly.

Had an abbreviated day of play, after a few games my son became sick to his stomach and we called it a day. He is feeling better now. But anyways, the bolt has been boiled, sanded, and a cutdown foamie superglued. Did not send it in to AGD have done this myself . Using a Warp and Halo with a Dye aluminum to match the paint ( RP Lightning received it Fri.) no chops and no breaks and the Warp and Halo
had no problem with the paint feeding though some of the paint was a bit eggy shaped!! Accuracy was way off!
One thing I should mention is that I have several bolt springs and I rotate them before every day of play and remove the bolt and spring after every day of play. So the springs are not worn down and the bolt forward speed is slower than with a spring with a shorter length yet still extends past the forward edge of the bolt when installed. The super bolt's approx. 40% lighter weight than a standard longnose SS bolt and with a foamie and a newer less worn spring makes the SB forward speed slower (TK should have some exact info on this ) and makes it easier on brittle paint. So yes get the SB! Get a new spring if the SB is breaking paint. By the way the day the RP paint arrived shot several hoppers of paint in hyper mode. Both my Son and I taking turns hammering on the trigger. No Breaks!! Tried this on the cocker and had a barrel break! Not so with the Mag!!
