since there are so many threads on Pillow bolts I thought I'd put this together. I hope I didn't miss anything??

current pillow bolt:


original bolt before the Pillow was introduced:


pillow bolt with pillow shot out(look at the wear from the detents!!):


replacement pillow


pillow bolts with screw on pillow and with QD


for replacement of the pillow I was able to get the pillow and bolt as one piece so I didn't have to uncrew the old pillow to replace with a new one.

the first pillow bolts ever, used by BLAST in nppl hb 07, were just original bolts, milled, and with a piece of foam super glued in. perhaps what you have.

no pics of these truely though.

Yeah I actually just shot my pillow out today, just shooting it normal, with paint. I called up Bob Long Direct and they're suppose to be sending one right out.

[TriggaHappyKid]

Are there any cons to having the screw in pillow bolt?
I mean, other than having to unscrew it.

[proto_player]

none. unless having to apply blue loctite when you put in a new one is a con.

[xPBxFREAKx]

i have a shot out pillow bolt. whats the best way to get the metal remains out? i couldnt get it out for the life of me.

[bolaber]

neither could i.. i gave up eventually then i sent my marker in...

[sparticus1262]

They say heat up the allen before you insert it and it should break the bond but like you I couldn't get it off either. I was able to purchase just the bolt with the pillow separately so I didn't have to buy an entire assembly.

[OP KID]

i no that if you get a pillow bolt that isnt screwd on will get shot off if you dry fire it right?

but if u get the new one that is on the closer, qd ram etc screwed on one, will that shoot off if u dry fire it alot?

[[]\/[]/\[]SAM[]=[]{{]

you shouldnt dry fire the pillow period

[octane89]

Does the problem of the pillow being shot out seem a little to constant for anyone?
Im just wondering cause I just got a pillow with a QD and am wondering if I shoulf take any precaution with it.

Maybe an addition to the thread:

HOW TO REPLACE THE SCREW IN PILLOW:
Materials needed:
Needle nose pliers
blue loctite
replacement pillow

1) With the firing assembly removed from the marker and the bolt taken off, unscrew the 'metal remains' from the inside of bolt using the needle nose pliers. It may take a a slight bit of muscle but it shouldn't be too hard because it's only blue loctite holding it in.

2) With the metal piece removed place a drop of blue loctite on the thread of your replacement pillow and use the needle nose pilers to screw it back into the bolt. Be sure not to grip to tightly as you'll rip the pillow; just hold it tightly enough to get it to screw in

3) Give the loctite a couple minutes to dry and put your firing assembly back togeather and put it back in the gun and your done!

Don't mean to up an old/dead thread... but is blue locktite a must for the replacement pillow, or is there anything else I can use?

[Bloodangel13]

i used nail polish...

[pbgstar22]

I've heard that there are a couple different versions of the pillow bolt. Mine shot out of my mummy and I have a replacement one with the threads like the one in the pics. Will that one fit on my bolt or are there really different versions of them making me look for the matching part?

[Bloodangel13]

it should, take the old threadded piece out, and ut the new one in.

i talked to a guy at blast he said there working on fixing the shooting out pillow problem when i got my new pillow it had flear glue on the outside probably for more support hope i dont shoot it out again (3x )
