Possibly new product from OTB?

Is there an Angel bolt in the works? *drools*

Not that I know of... but there's something better IMO:

that is funny!
why didn't somebody think of that sooner.

I hope it works great. replaceable tips with a few different size sounds good.

can't wait to try one in the ol' cocker.

hey good job coming up with new ideas :)

Well, I have a question....

Would that bolt be able to withstand high rates of fire? Being flexible, wouldnt extremly high rates of fire cause it to warp and distort?

I doubt that'd release it without lots of testing and the such. Also, refer to what ringster said, it took almost 13lbs of force to get it to destort, thats a lot and then it didn't chop a ball.

So whos gonna stick their tongue in it?

Hey guys,
Well.... I took my Impulse to the field on Saturday to play some Rec Ball (the only way to play) and the Blind Bolt was pretty much a "No Go"... The marker velocity would not go over 220 fps. Even upping the dwell 8 beeps made ZERO difference. I am unsure if this is because of increased friction due to the rubber lip on the bolt, or because the bolt is so very much lighter than the stock bolt. My Impulse is stock, so I have no way of increasing bolt pressure. So, if you are running a stock Impy and want a drop in modification this may NOT be it. The anti-chop works awesome, but it's pretty much useless if you are shooting almost 100 fps below everyone else... That's my 2 (or 3) cents on this bolt.
Happy shooting,
Rigster...

*The old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it." comes to mind. My Impulse has never chopped since I had it so I should have just left well enough alone...

Thats strange, considering with an lpr your bolt pressure is between 75-125 usually, and on a stock imp its 180. You should call the great people at epbo and ask them, if they can't give you a good answer call OTB.

hmm, thats odd, i checked this out on PBN...yea, i know, anyway, they all seemed to have it working fine, try putting some dow on the bolt

[Rigster_TBB]

The bolt was lubed pretty well... I lubed the bolt and the breech with Dow before I installed the bolt. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe the Impulse likes it's internals to be within a particular weight range. If you reference "Wolverine's Impulse FAQ" he does mention that internals should be within a particular weight range for optimal performance. If you go to a lighter bolt you may need to get a heavier hammer type thing. No matter, I'll just run my Impy stock, she's happy that way and I'm happy that way now...
Good luck...

Extra Info: (Looked thru PBNation forums, and yes my head hurts now)

1) RatPB recommends running a "Heavy" hammer with the blind, not the stock aluminum hammer (bummer).
2) There is some talk of this first batch of Bolts being too long for some setups. OTB will produce the second run about .02 shorter to compensate for this.
* This gets me thinking that maybe the bolt tip was hitting to soon and not allowing the valve to open all the way.
* Oh well, I'll try another one in a few months after they get all the issues sorted out with these things...
