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.
Firstly, have you noticed any better efficiency using the bolt with a really light spring?
Can we look forward to a really light spring to coincide with the bolt?
Do you have any planned launch dates?
Are you going to create a preorder list or is there even going to be one?

Remember the original Superbolt with the delrin sleeve.
I wonder if anyone still has one, or still using one.
I had hunted and hunted for one. I am sure they would improve efficiency greatly, but from what I have read, the delrin wears down and breaks eventually.

I had one with my SFL. I never fired that bolt more than a few times however because I was afraid it would break like the prototype test ones had. The delrin bolts were actually a smaller diameter as well. It certainly was light though.
I have 2 . Considered buying a 3rd, but A-Tach-One got it.

I am happy that you are persuing the whole light bolt and efficiency idea. My question is if you have taken into consideration a bolt that perfoms the same function of the lvl 10, which is no chop. A bolt that is efficient and light is really cool if you have eyes, but if you don't have eyes the lvl 10 will still be the way to go, for the mechs. I would really like to know if it would be as gentle on paint as the lvl 10 or at least considered the idea. Good luck and don't give up.
hahaha....maybe it will have a built in bumper.....
My guess is a ULE aluminium Level 10 bolt design with a thin stainless sleeve. But I think AGD had already experimented with that idea when they were designing the first Superbolt?
To the best of my knowledge, AGD gave up the delrin sleeve because it got chewed to **** by the bolt spring and needed to be replaced often. If you can't find even one, you'll never find replacements.
Nice of you to bump this I'm looking at the bolt right now and want to comment again. Rouge should check out my thread http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=198361 on casidiam plating, like the level 10 the end of the bolt should be angled to not only shave weight but to also help the sear catch easier, and the face shouldn't be cuped and the edge should be rounded off. Just my .02 cents.
