I think he meant boiled, cause isn't it a superbolt? I wouldn't know either way...

I think you misunderstood, It wasn't a typo, He actually does mean *boil*. AGD asked those with regular superbolts to boil them (see here: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=21054) to anneal the delrin. It is supposed to solve the cracking problems.

Tom seems to think so:

And the resulting water makes a dandy base for soups or stews!

If i were you I would boil it. I got a superbolt a couple weeks ago but they sent me the sfl bolt instead of a regular one. I sanded it down and got it working with my gun and then about a week ago it cracked and i had to send it back

hahaha,
my bad, I thought you said oil the bolt...not boil the bolt. Time to get the eye prescription checked!!

As far as boiling the bolt....go for it. It will relieve any stress in the delrin.
