A little more on the workings of the L10 bolt.

The air chamber on the mag holds 400psi. That pushes on the bolt stem and when the sear releases the bolt it moves forwards like a cork in a bottle (pop).

The old L7 bolt had a larger bolt stem = more force pushing on the stem. L7 bolts were brutal on brittle paint.

The L10 bolt has two stages on the stem. The first stage of the stem is smaller = less force. That means that bolt moves slower when its first released making it very gentle on brittle paint. If for some reason something stops it (pinched ball/tongue) it vents all its air and reseats (thats the pfft sound you here once and a while in the vid). If not it hits the second stage,the normal sized bolt stem. When that happens it speeds up to the normal bolt speed and then fires.

Level 10 bolts makes the Mag a whole new marker. Last season my wife and I had ZERO chops or barrel breaks. I just took the extra time to set up the L10 and match my paint to my barrel.

All that and no batteries required!!!
