New Tippmann Front Bolt

[tomr538]

ok there are a few places out there that make front bolts for tippmanns. yes we know they all go into any tippmann. but what do you guys think about TechT making a new Front bolt.

the front bolts with an internal o-ring work much better thany any of the others. but as far as i've seen there are on 2 out there on the market.
the orange hotitzer and the shock tech.

the internal o-ring does make a difference in the popping affect you get when you are starting to run out of paint and thats the biggest reason i like changing my front bolt. but it also will lead to more air only going forward with the ball so you can cut down on the air you are useing to fire the ball which then leads to more effenciancy.

i was going to send an e-mail to Todd at TechT and see if they could make one but i want your opions first.

i'd buy them......if they made them for carbines and pro carbines

I'd switch my orange hotitzer bolt to try a TechT product because I know they make qualtity products and always seem to research what they make to push it to the next level.

I agree, me to... I have several older Tippmann and espically one of the original Pro/Am's, and an A5 as well.

tech t wouldnt make it if it didnt improve performance...

Most bolts have been proven to not preform as good as the stock Tippmann bolt. Now I have no knowledge on the Tech T bolt. There other mods are awesome.

I recommned checking the site of the appropriate model Tippmann and see if anyone has done a review or can give you any info. A5og.net X7og.net or 98og.net If its been done, the guys on these sites have done it.



EDIT:

LOL I see you already have hit the OG! Best place to get info on Tippy's.

Jester
I have a Tech-T L-7 bolt in my Ion and its a great upgrade, so much better than the other aftermarket bolts. IMO

[BRAVO1]

also those tests didnt factor in all of what we are looking for... i believe when the internal o-ring is put in my gun seems a lil quiter and def more air efficient, who knows what else TechT could find... maybe a lighter bolt?? completely smooth inside and out, and have the end cup the ball like the shocktech
just some ideas

I know how much their front bolts run and I really dont feel it would be worth it. I just dont think it is a big enough improvement for the amount it will cost, just my opinion
