DM7 Ironman... Billy Wing bolt?

[PBGunny]

I recently acquired what I believe is a DM 7 Ironman from a good friend who gave it to me as a Christmas present.
I'm not really up on Dye markers aside from the fact that it has a boatload of o-rings in it.
When I took the bolt out, I noticed that the bolt wasn't marked in any way.
I would have thought that it would have a Billy Wing bolt in it, since it is Ironman marked.
I also thought all Billy Wing bolts were marked and were red.
Anyone have any knowledge on these?

These IM guns were available for on the public and didn't come with the Billy Wing bolt. That was an "upgrade". Apparently the Billy Wing bolt is more efficient on air and better but I think performance is negligible from the factory bolt.

When did Billy Wing start making the bolts? Just curious.
I asked my friend and he said it was because they didn't start making them till later.
I'm just curious.
I think I'm going to try and find an original barrel for it cause the CP .693 just isn't going to cut it anymore.

That is a DM6.

BW bolt started on DM7. There's not more to it than polished/reduced friction.

Google "razgriz performance kit" if you want to rabbithole a bit on friction & tuning for this bolt.

My own experience relative to the Razgriz work was ---- swap your two bolt 017s with 050 duro and you'll accomplish 80% of what a BW bolt does, it's absolutely worth buying a bag from mcmaster. The 015 and 014 help too but aren't worth the trouble, 015 wears fast and 014 is prone to blowout

First, yes that's a dm6. You got lucky there, the dm7 has the first generation eye pipe, it's terrible.

Second, be aware that the dm6 manual has a few typos for o ring sizes. I don't remember which ones off hand but they are there

Third, this is the best upgrade for that thing you can

It removes that stupid on/off on the front of the lower tube. No idea what they were thinking with that, it's a terrible idea

You know what the Fuse bolt needs? More O-rings!

I was just looking at that. I found a DM7 one, but for $10 I should just get the right one.

This is why I ask when I don't really know enough.
You guys are wonderful with the info and the o-ring pic.
I really like the grips on it, very comfy.
I plan to try and shoot it in one of the games I will go to this year.
I'm going to have to figure out the programming now.

Dye still has the manual available on their website.
