    How’s it shoot? That's a sweet marker for the money.

      I don't know as of yet. I got it love, but nearest chance I'll have to play is March 16th and I ha e to drive 12 hours round trip to make it happen.

        How do these shoot? Efficiency, kick, noise, etc. compared to stock? I’m scoping out a g3 for giggles 😁

        Watched the TechT video for the difference between the L7 HE bolt and stock and am, as per usual, very impressed with the difference. If the NDZ bolt does the same thing for less, I’m game!

          I still haven't fielded my g3. Lol, part of the issue is I have so many shooters I recently got going.

          I think I'll get out this Sunday and I can get mine over a chrono.

          Cool, would be good to see the $70 price tag for a TechT bolt seems pretty steep. Would be good to know how much the NDZ bolt weighs if you have a scale.

        Alright. I just played 2 games with my G3. I am seeing some FSDO to the point the first ball is a bloop, but it's otherwise shooting really well, cycling fairly smooth, and having just put roughly half a case through my g3. It's well worth the $135 I have invested in this little loaner.

          Is that with the stock bolt?

          Those things had massive problems when they came out. I think a lot of it was fsdo to the point of not shooting at all. I played a backwoods game once, 2 guys there brought g3s and they both were down for about half of the day. Basically I think it warned up and they started shooting.

          Thin out your lube a little, add some oil and maybe up the dwell. See if the board has any fsdo settings

            No, with the x brand. And I didn't set or tune ANYTHING. I bought that shooter here on the forums. Added an air line to it. And put that bolt into it.... I DID make a spacer for the on/off button as the virtual boards button plunger is too short so you couldn't turn it on..

            Otherwise I took it out more as an acid baseline of " does it work". I saw the fado over the chrono, but after that first shot it was really consistent. I even saw 3x 266 fps shots in a row. They were turning games around fast yesterday, so I just took it.

            The FSDO was specifically after minutes of sitting. Like between games. It wasn't prevalent in every rope I sent. The thing did pretty well honesty.

            Yeah they only have a handful of o rings so I'm not surprised it's fairly consistent. I feel like they got the tolerances wrong somewhere which is what causes the fsdo

              I always wondered if the bolt stick issue with the stock bolt was a suction cupping issue... If there's grease where the bolt meets the back cap, it tends to create enough of a seal that the bolt holds itself in place (you can see this when you have the bolt engine out of the marker and hold it by the back cap with the bolt facing the ground.) When there's no grease where the bolt meets the back cap, it doesn't seem to have that problem..
