    superbolt feedback??

    if anyone bought an superbolt, I'd like to hear some feedback. Does it really give less recoil? is it less noisy? is it SWEET??? how much? how much (and how many) come in replacement sleeves?

      According to Joanne (AGD Office), I have to wait for them to be made. So nothing yet, I'm afraid.

        I might be going to get one this Saturday from Rob, as I am also going to get my Retro Valve!

        He said they could run around $50

          The superbolts were being sold for $50 today.
          There are no sleeves yet to go along with them.

            WOW I love my superbolt.
            There is less recoil with the super bolt. I noticed a difference in it. Also I heard through the grape vine that the gun will actually cycle faster due to the bolt. I am not starting a rumor it is something I heard. AGD will have to let us know on that one. Other than that I now have learned to love my E-Mag all the more.

              I definately noticed a difference too. The bolt is physically much lighter, and seems to nearly eliminate recoil. RT mode on my Emag seemed to work a little sweeter with the bolt as well.

                *drools* Love my Super Bolt, and its SUPER light, the 'normal' stainless steel long nose bolt is like 2.1oz (58g) where the super bolt was 1.2 oz and (32g) and worked flawlessly for me at Country Club after the AGD Tour.

                  You can use superbolts w/o delrin sleeves? Then what is the function of the Delrin sleeves?

                    Well, I suppose you could -try- it. However, the delrin makes up most of the wall thickness of the bolt. Also, it forms the tip of the bolt too.

                    The metal core is really thin, and if the bare tip were to hit your paint, I'd guess that it'd cut through the shell. Also, if the delrin sleeve were off, if you busted a paintball, some of the shell could wedge between the bolt and the body, causing the bolt to stick.

                    Of course, you're welcome to try it. Just not with my superbolt.

                      I think he mean there were no "replacment" sleaves to go along with the one that comes on it.

                              you know the blow back might be a bit extream without the sleve to seal the breach. i wouldn't try it.
