    Im no expert but a non metal bolt slamming around in there has a better chance of fracturing at the aft lip...

    if this happens you will have a spiffy derlin shotgun slug screaming at whatever poor soul that is unfortuante to be in front of your marker.

    imho agd bolts need to and will always be metal... and btw isnt 25 bps cyclic rate fast enough?

      They tried a hybrid delrin/steel bolt and the stress proved too great for the delrin sleeves. The new LX bolts are light enough. I barely notice a kick.

        we did have one, and it was a pretty big failure. Something in the manufacturing royaly got screwed up, and none of em worked right. Then, some dumb kid made up a story about the bolt breaking, and failing in a different way, and made it sound all dangerous, and actually put tom into a full recal.


        Also, the delrin bolts, would be much harder to righ with lvl 10, because they are that much lighter than the ss versions.

        Without level 10, yes, they could theoretically cycle faster, because the bolt mooved a hella lot faster than the old lvl 7 bolt. This actually broke more balls, because of the insanely high bolt speed

              Dunno about you guys, but with the lvl 10, the kick is almost not noticeable...

                  Picking a good bolt material isn't just about light weight -- its more like strength per weight.

                  The beauty of the lvl 10 bolt although its stainless steel, is that b/c its steel you don't need much material for it to be very resistent to wear -- hence it weighs almost nothing. I don't remember the comparison, but iirc it compares favorably with cyclic bolts for other markers that use much more of lighter materials (and don't travel at the same bolt speeds). The stock mag bolt is heavy simply because there's a lot of steel on there that isn't really necessary for its structural strength.

                    the LX is just a bit heavier than the derlin bolt and is stronger and dont have to worry about it breaking like the derlin did

                        I'm confused on how exactly does the Level X bolt work? How does it stop from chopping so well? Could someone enlighten me?
