    O-ring on the A-mag Bolt?

    Just wondering all (oh yes, its me again mwahahahaha),

    I wanted to know if I was to mill a groove into the A-mag bolt tip, and put in an oring, could this possibly increase efficiency? It will completely eliminate blowback, and ensure 100% of the gasses are being used to propel the ball out the barrel. I know the new Superbolt will do this, but it wont be out for some time.

    I know alot of paintball markers use orings on the bolts to help seal the gas, but why not A-mags? I know tolerances of the constant bolt travel into the breech may shred the oring, but what if the oring was made of a durable material? a strong urethan oring? small enough to get through the breech untouched, but big enough to seal the bolt and barrel channel...

    Let me know all (Mods, AGD, Techs, anyone...)

    P.S. Do you guys get annoyed by my incessant questions?

    You would totaly mess up you marker..

    The Bolt would not slide as well and you probly will chop the oring and chop a lot of paint.. they work fine as they are... you don't like blow back , by a long nose bolt.

    Don't try and fix it if it ain't broke... cause you'll end up broke (due to the cost of replacing these parts)

      Super Bolt

      If I'm not mistaken, AGD is selling super bolts right now for $50.00. They were on sale at the AGD Super Tour at least, I know, because I have a super bolt sitting right here in front of my monitor perhaps you should try giving AGD a call.

          I guess besides slowing down the rate of fire, the only problem would be that the o-ring will get the crap beat out of it very soon from hitting the edge on both sides of the ball breech hole in the barrel. It would work, but everytime the bolt passes by, the o-ring will be hitting that edge as it goes forward and when it comes back.
