I just stumbled on these and after a few breakdown vids, I realized it's an Ion with a Tippmann body. Can someone verify if the bolts are interchangable?

We have been talking about them on and off. They seem to have been released but it's really confusing because it's like they were released a few years ago and then possibly pulled and then just started showing up again a few months ago.
If I remember right yes same bolt. Pretty sure I pulled up a manual and again, if my memory is correct they still use the 2x16mm sail o ring even
Someone around here said the trigger was absolute garbage feeling

It is an Ion bolt system with dual-tail orings. I just ordered a bolt from ANSgear to see if it will work in my Ions.
According to Jeff at Xfactor Pro Shop, KORE (formerly GI, formerly Kee) owns a lot of the Smart Parts IP that was sold off in the 2008 bankruptcy.Comment

Now THIS is the kind of scienceing I was looking for! I'm looking for a way to streamline my mech ion process and I ran across these through a FB post. How long till it shows up? Totally excited to see if it fits! -
Sdawg could you updates us when possible, would love to know the results when you put it together.

If I were gonna get myself one of these tippmann ions, I'd opt for the raider. I honestly have almost purchased one many times. Haha. Why not add a mech driven hopper to the mix?Comment

Haha I heard the feed system is total booty cheeks when you start running low. Never seen one in the wild to mess with, but one of the locals just snagged the Empire version. That thing is a beast! -
You are probably right. But you could always mod it to take halo guts or something. If anyone can print that up, you could.
Look for the SAS bus at GBG. One of the SAS guys has a couple raiders. He said the early models did have issues, which is why they hit market then disappeared. But the newer ones are fine. I bet he would let ya chute his.
