Diffrent Bolts

[nouseforaname]

Well since Im pretty new to mags Ive noticed that their are a few diffrent aftermarket bolts....are any of them worth buying or do they do more bad then good?

[snakestang]

The new Level 10 Bolt kit is the only thing you will ever need. If you look around especially in the tech forum you will be able to find much more info.

If you decide not to purchase a Level 10 kit right now then do NOT purchase any other manufacturers bolt besides AGD. It would be a waste of money.

Level 10 is the only aftermarket bolt i would recomend. all the other non-AGD bolts will have no improvment, give you problems, and viod the warrenty.


-edit- dang snake you beat me to it!

Yeah, most AIR valves don't really chop all that much, but some RT's will, especially when you're new to the trigger (like I was). But definitely have Level10 on the list, whether you chop or not, it's insurance on chopping. You might not need it now, but a chop could come bite you in the butt when you needed Level10 most.

Personally, I say LX first.

Price to Benefit far outways Retro, or even an I-frame. IMO.

I put my intelliframe on first, and then I'm getting the XVALVE in a few weeks when its released so I get Retro and level 10 all in one package!!!

The only reason I went intelli first was that I didn't like my trigger feeling and it was bugging me. ... now with the intelli I can outshoot my valve, so I actually have to remember to lay off the trigger a tiny bit cause I can hit it faster than the classic valve can shoot ..lol

But if your upgrading, I suggest the same as above ...
- If your chopping get level 10
- If not then go intelli and wait for the XVALVE which has the new retro valve with the level 10 built in already.

Sincerely,
Dave K

I personally think it would be silly to get a LX without even having a RT first.

How come? I have a classic valve and a level 10 "bolt". I'm not currently even considering a ReTro valve.

To me it is like hooking digital cable to a black and white TV...I did not intend my comment as an insult, only my personal views on the matter being discussed.

No insult taken. However, I am curious as to why you think the ReTro Valve is so great? I don't agree with the BW vs Color TV analogy. I don't find the ReTro Valve to be a big step forward. I really do want to know why you think it is great. I sometimes wonder what I am missing.

BTW, We can all probably agree that we would love to have a more accurate marker, right? When you break a ball in the marker you end up with worse accuracy. So, in a backhand sort of way the level 10 "bolt" can make your marker more accurate! It does for me, since I am the king of the short stroke. That is why I think the level 10 "bolt" is great.

I agree with Hitech, I have a classic, lvl10, booyaah and my fingers cant shoot fast enough. I have put it on full auto @15bps it has no drop off at all. I couldnt shoot that fast in a pink fitt.(by the way nether can anyone that I have seen...it is quick ppl are fulla s&%t when they say "my brother shoots at 17 bps & his mate shoots at 19bps")


So why should I change to an rt when I dont have to?

I do Agree with you wholeheartedly shartley. I live by the motto "If it aint broke dont fix it! Reason? I once owned a Rotary .

The other reason is RT valves cos about $500 over here, Would you buy one if yours worked no problem.

LOL Im trying to save the $3,700 to buy a X Mag & smuggle it into the country LOL
