I have always wondered if a new bolt is worth it for a 98 custom. Here is the one I was thinking of getting. http://rufusdawg.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RD&Product_Code=w-bolt98&Category_Code=MAR-ACC - http:// It is the new venturi bolt, which comes with a powertube. I heard it is worth it. It doesn't cost to much either, so should I get it? And would this powertube work with the new cyclone feed system for the 98 custom? ------------- 98 Custom Armson Stealth 13" Flatline GTA Expansion Chamber GTA Double Trigger Ben Tippmann Sealed Bolt Lapco Drop APP Sling |

| The only way you should get an aftermarket bolt is if your stock bolt breaks. |

yep keep the stock internals but if anything breaks
then that looks pretty good to me -------------

Even if a front bolt failed me... I'd replace it with another stock one. In fact, I have spare stock bolts for all of my Tippmanns (SL's excluded)... but in all the years I've had them, have never needed to actually use a spare. |

| On a Tippmann at least, in Spyders and other guns, that might be a different case. |

The internals on Tippmanns are the best on the market no matter what anybody says. DO NOT BUY NEW INTERNALS, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT!! -------------

I dont mean to be reluctant, but did anyone actually buy an aftermarket front bolt, rear bolt, or power tubed? while chronoing for consistancy, and a target for accuracy? I have only shot standard internals because it is what i had, and everybody told me that stock is the best. Im sure that tippmann has done a lot of research on their guns, but i see some advantages to an all metal setup like the pro seal.
Is there a setup of springs and bolts that can give you a faster cycle rate than stock 98c internals? |

| There are springs that make your trigger pull lighter and bolts the are aerodynamically better, but I don't know what it would do for the performance of your gun. |

properly polished internals is all you need.I tried a starfire bolt not as consistent over chrony and louder.I for a personal
preference prefer an o-ringed bolt over a delrin only bolt. ------------- 98c/rt,12" j&j pro-1,java coiled remote to 20 oz,eggy II,spee-t-cocker,ghetto fab stock(homebrew),pgp2k1.

Anti-Chop mod works awful with RT... You can break your bolt by making it anti-chop. -------------

Use the money on a different upgrade like a new trigger or something. If the bolt shoots straight and doesnt chop then it can only get worse so why change? The stock bolt is fine. Get a new trigger or save for a e bolt or e grip if they start making one for the 98 I love mine for my A-5. ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |
