So i made a cocker bolt. Top to bottom, STO stupid venturi bolt, stock 04 bolt carved down, and the SHI Industrial Strength bolt. Made out of white delrin and aluminum, its considerably lighter then the STO, and a bit lighter then the chopped up 04. I meant to use thin o-rings for the valve hole, but accidently cut one of the grooves too deep and had to bust out the big fat o-rings. -------------

Why would you make a bolt that has no hope of ever being as good as a bolt that you could buy...? ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/rayne0167">

The "why" part of this question is too stupid to merit an actual answer. But as to the underlying sentiment - why do you assume it cannot be better? I use Shooter's 3DS bolt in my cocker, which is generally considered one of the very best bolts around, and the only difference between Shooter and Enos is that I don't think Shooter wears a trenchcoat. Shooter is/was just a guy with a lathe in his garage, just like Enos. Quality is not determined by commercial availability. |

Nun-unh. Everybody knows that anything you get from a store is better than anything home-built. And the more expensive the store, the better the product. MTV says so. Anyway. Nice, Enos. You selling? I've got a cocker that might like that bolt. |

looks like that blue print is a product of CAD....
i learned how to use that earlier this year in Contruction Tech. gets sorta complicated. |

Taking the time to draw something up in cad saves LOTS of time when
your out in the shop working on it. Even if i do have a bad habit of
revising things as i go (note the crossed out dimension)

 Even better. This thing is LIGHT. The bolt alone weighs the same if not less then the stock 04 bolt pin (just the pin) Also cut down that ultralite pin for it. -------------

Nice CAD drawing but why is the dimensioning so precise?

Dude you don't have to re-time a cocker for a new bolt! The timing is all in the trigger points, as in the when the 3-way is actuated...the only thing you might have to change with a new bolt is your back-block position, which takes all of 30 seconds. Just move the back block upon the pump-arm threads until there is a paper thin space between the block and the main body, then you are done. New bolt installed, easily. Half the time the bolts are the exact same length and don't require any changes, anyhow, since cockers are so universal these days. -------------

actually, it's because 98 bolts have a little tab sticking out of the back. he can't do that on a lathe. ------------- |

My lathe doesnt have enough distance to accomodate drilling out a one piece bolt And its 1/4-20 threaded, not glued. I cut a new front with no o-rings, it works great. If you cock the gun and tilt it backwards with no gas, the back block just falls open.  -------------

it means that the bolt slides so smoothly that just gravity alone could make it cycle. |
