IS there any advantage over the old g6r pillow bolt thats 40 instead of 100 other than the pin

[bronze]

Just the price is an advantage.

Reports of the new bolt- they yield lower HPR, and LPR. and make the gun a different animal.

Its supposed to be softer on paint(even though Ive never had an issue in 2 full seasons with the older one), and also its supposed to lower the sound signature by around 30%.

also can i buy the premium package without buying the gun and how much is it

can't exactly buy the premium package since it includes an anno also but I know the bolt is for sale. haven't heard if the trigger is or not. ask tim

The body of the premium bolt resembles the stock bolt dirt resistant bolt but with a pillow in the front. The bolt uses an aluminum insert that gives the bolt a little more mass which reportedly allows for lower pressures. I really want one but feel like I am getting a bit robbed at the $100 price tag. There is no way this bolt cost anywhere close to enough to justify the cost. They are supposed to be nice though.

there is the cost of R&D also they have to recoup. the price tag isn't all based on why it costs to actually make the part

I understand that but even with that the markup is extremely high for what it costs to produce. We have unfortunately come to an age where some bolts are costing the same as a quality entry level marker.

Just wait till your find a few floating around on ebay or in the misc. parts section. Thats what I am doing lol.

I shot one of the new premium pillow bolts this weekend. I can definitely say they are quieter and they reduce the pressures.

Is it worth the money? That depends. I would say if you play national events and you're shooting event 5 star/evil, then you should definitely look into it. If you're a weekend warrior who shoots a firmer/less fragile field ball all the time, then you're probably fine without it.

Or if you want to pull the trigger and ask yourself if the marker even shot. Or if you wanna stand next to your friend with similar G6R and say "wow tune down that ego, it's to loud". Having bragging right's also makes things better.

Gotta agree with Gamer! 1st time I shot mine with the new bolt, it turned everyone's head! Lots of comments about the change in sound!

[pb62]
