If it's the one I'm thinking of with the sleeve, then there was a problem with the first batch which resulted in the sleeve stripping with each shot, rather than over prolonged use (you can buy replacements, but obviously 1 per shot is a little excessive).

I understand the problem has been fixed and they work ok now, but just have the standard bolt meself.

Don't these super bolts use a foamie tip, never really liked the idea of having to glue a bit on the end of your bolt. My hard nose bolt works fine, it don't get any breaks, just the occational chop.

Mag was my first marker

The super bolt thing that jermanboy mentioned might not be a good idea, ithink they have been recalled because their dangerous.

The end breaks off yes - but the actual "myth" that it was dangerous was some stupid joke someone made. They alleged that the metal core shot out and broke their arm.

They lied and owned up to it.

Might be as well going back to "foamies" as the Emag Extreme is using them as apposed to the Delrin sleeved type.Thats not a rumor it`s direct from AGD Europe.

Foamies, that's going back a bit. I suppose if your getting high rates of fire from an Extreme/ Standard Emag you want to be a bit more lighter on the paint, otherwise you would have paint soup coming outof the end of your barrel. I would'nt expect a foamie to make a difference on a standard Mag. Does anybody remember the head hunter bolt that used to be around about 3 or 4 years ago. It was a standard bolt with three screw in tips each one varied from being concaved to virutally fully convexed. That was a good idea, you could change the tip according to how brittle your paint was!

Does any one know where to get those super bolts. AGD US and Europe don't have them listed on their site but they are on Automags.org. I would prefer to get them from the UK.

They dont advertise the Superbolt on any AGD site because they've been having trouble with them and trying to iron out some bugs.

They have solved the problems and are just about to release them. I phoned up AGD-E about a week ago (asking about intelliframes) and asked about Superbolts they said it will be 2 or 3 weeks before they are released over here.

Give it some time (I say a month always take longer than companies say) and they should be out.
