    Did I miss on How to Install Foamies?

    Hey guys. Man, I feel stupid asking this. I have had alot of Automags and I have never had to install a foamie. How do you do it? I have tried super glue but it just blows out when shot. Is there something I am missing here? Man, Classics, RT's, Emags, Micro's, and I have never installed a foamie

      Clean the bolt face real good with Acetone, break clean or alcohol first,...

                  I'll third.

                  Some people claim acetone, RTV and prayers to old dead Norse Gods does the trick, but trying to glue rubber to metal is like trying to teach pigs to sing for me.

                  I'm pretty sure the foamie was there as a primitive anti-chop "solution" since the Automag fired much faster than the loaders of the day (~1992). The LVL 10 bolt circumvents this.

                  Not many other bolts today have a soft face, most paintballs can handle the acceleration and a foamie won't stop chops, so when one blows off I just sigh and keep going.

                      lol mine flew off firs time i replaced it. lost another. then i cleaned it properly. bought some of the "anti shock" super glue. its thicker and holds better. that was at least 14 cases ago.
