Stock internals are your best bet.

definately stock internals. Better to spend the cash on other upgrades...

I've heard that the starfire bolt basically hugs the ball to fire it better... if you look at it it does have a hugging front, people say they are better than stock.. I have no idea how they would compare though, if I was gonna get a new bolt\powertube I would go aluminum... that way it never cracks

They're junk. I haven't heard anything good about them. Stock internals are the best. -------------

never heard anythin about them but im goin to put my 2 cents in...
cough cough... the stock internals are great for tippmanns, the
aftermarket ones are ok they just dont have any upside... now i do
remember i little while ago bruce used the wicked bolt i think and
found that with more fragile paint the wicked bolt didnt break paint as
much or in his case i think at all... i no he did alot of testing on
this... and i believe he did not find any other upside to the wicked
bolt or maybe it was the powertube not sure

If you guys actually read the reviews on PBREVIEW the Starfire has gotten very good reviews from A-5 and 98 owners....the Shocktech one has the best reviews though because it is made of Derlin (Self lubricating)
