Yea, don't waste your $ on new bolts. The stock internals on Tippy's are the best. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Actually, the shocktech bolt is the only bolt upgrade to go with. Any other bolt is no different than the stock. One thing that makes it better than stock, is the fact that it has an internal o-ring which helps seal against the power tube better so you'll get a little better response from blowback, some improvement in distance. The other thing that the shocktech has that the stock one doesn't is the cat eye shaped cut outs around the front of the inside of the bolt. All that does is helps with gas distribution around the ball so that it's take-off is a little smoother and help with accuracy. It's the only reason I spent the 20 bucks. ------------- A-5 w/ RT Flatline w/ SD FX Shroud Flatline Quick Change Kit DOP Double Trigger Shocktech Supafly Bolt Maddman Spring kit Polished Internals ACI Remote |

Good, but only if you are running an RVA with a second regulator or palmers stabilizer, and I've heard an LP Kit helps as well. ------------- A-5 w/ RT Flatline w/ SD FX Shroud Flatline Quick Change Kit DOP Double Trigger Shocktech Supafly Bolt Maddman Spring kit Polished Internals ACI Remote |

After 6 inches the ball stabalizes inside the barrel, so how well distributed the air is before that makes no difference. Also, the only thing that will add range to your shot is the flatline barrel. Having an extra 0-ring will just make your velocity higher which you make you waste more gas by turning velocity down. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |
