AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Does anyone use this setup versus the Lvl 10? I get a LOT of chuffing with my L10. I'm thinking about switching to my L7 bolt to see if that cures the chuff.
Any feedback?

I'm running a level 7 in my X-mag, its the foami bolt, but I don't think that makes much difference, it won't make any chuffing sounds, however it also won't bounce off a ball if your gun doesn't have eyes or you don't have a super fast loader, it will chop the ball right in half. But yeah it works good, I like it better then the level 10, no tinkering whatsover. And you can keep your velocity alot lower.
i used familess in 68automag and it can be picky on paint. Last time I couldn't get lvl 10 working and borrowed foamy bolt and didnt break one ball. Plus paint was over 1 year old.
If you can try both bolts and see which you like better. You could probably find foamy bolt in BST forum pretty cheap.
I never chunked paint with my Minimag valve and Level 7 foamiless...so I'm not terribly concerned with chopping.
Anyway, I think I'll give the old bolt a try.

The "chuffing" is the bolt stopping on a ball. If you switch to a L7 bolt all those chuffs could turn into chops.

Nope. It's chuffing without running any paint through the marker. I wonder if I'm not just massively short-stroking with my L10 and ULT... If I shoot slow and steady, then I don't have any problems; however, when I start to rapid fire, then I get massive chuffs, shootdown and almost 0 recharge.
I've spent about an hour on the phone with AGD tech support on this and he was just as confused as I am.

That's really strange. It does sound like you are short stroking but I thought that was hard to do with the ULT.

When I bought my Halo B and Reloader B ditched my Lvl X kit. Infact when I traded off my
Last Xvalve (not including the one in my dallara) I even gave the guy most of my Lvl X stuff. Two extra bolts, springs, shims, etc etc.
Lvl X was always really iffy with me.
When i frist recived a kit int he mail with a mag i had bought, We brought it into a buddy's backyard, and fired off a hopper or to. NO chops, and it chuffe quite a few rounds. I was impressed. The Dumbarse I am I put a squeegee in the breech, fired, and botched it up good.
I really dont have a problem with chops with my 20pbs Hyperframe.

I thought the same thing. I really would like to get my L10 to work, whether I need it or not (I don't like having non-working parts)
I guess I'll have to look at the CD-Rom...if I can find the damned thing...
