The only aftermarket bolt worth getting is the PB/DOP Pro-Seal and the JCS Red Hot. And neither really do that much. They're more like finishing touches that neccesities. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

The difference is that the hyperstar and venturi bolts are worse. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

| i know that you don't need a new bolt but the stock one is kinda cheap plastic and i don't know about the hyperstar bolt but the starfire bolt is delrin. so you wouldn't have to oil it and it is supposed to reduce ball chops. |

You still have to oil the starfire. It still has an o-ring on it. Maybe try the Shocktech delrin bolt for the 98. That might be nice. But again, hyperstar/venturi/starfire bolts reduce performance. There's no reason to get them unless you like chopping paint and killing your accuracy and consistancy. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |
