techt L7 is deffinatly a good bolt to get,
can be slightly difficult to install if ur not sure how to, but once its in, its a one of the best :)

also, how did you brake your bolt?

Same here - Techt L7 is a great bolt IMO, only weakpoint being the inner bolt stop o-ring. This is a special size (not std. SP kit) and only needs to wear a little to give leaks, because seals fit on bolt tail isn't very tight when new.

Alright guys, cheers. Think i might invest in one then :). It sheard in the breach :S, the front section with the 2 o-rings on has come away from the rear section of the bolt. A small twig had worked its way throught my hopper and down the feedneck of my halo so it was sitting in the breech and going up through the feedneck. God knows how it got there but thats the only reason i can think of my firebolt breaking. It was working fine though all day, i only noticed it cleaning my ion the day after when only half the bolt came out lol.

Firebolts have a habbit of shearing in half due to bad milling, call SP they should replace for free and u can save some cash

Hope i helped
 
I cant say Im totally enamored with these pillow bolts.

I like how they have reduced the flow through the bolt. That will result in better efficiency.

But from an engineering point of view, the rubber bit wont soften the impact on the paintball any more than a cupped face bolt.



Its not as much of a Gyp as the 4 eyes thing on the marq. But its similar.
