Is it still the AKA lightning bolt? I'm going to low pressure, and just wanted to make sure. OtterSCcustoms said it was, but i'm not sure how old the article was, or if another better one has come out. thx

any bolt without a venturi is pretty much high-flowing. You can make your stock bolt good for a LP setup if you wanted..

You could get the new ACP blue bolt. It suppose to be pretty equivilent to the lightning bolt and it's made of nylon i believe

**conartist2k1** · February 13th, 02:12 PM

would an acs bolt be considered high flowing?

**spyder person** · February 13th, 06:10 PM

no

if you want a bolt get a blue bolt

**conartist2k1** · February 13th, 10:58 PM

:-/... all of a sudden my purchase of an acs bolt seems tainted

is there any mod i can do to the acs bolt to make it higher flowing?

**spyder person** · February 13th, 11:06 PM

no.......
it would render it worthless

**andisblue** · February 14th, 12:07 AM

yea theres a guy at my field that has the acs bolt. he's not too impressed with it. seemed like an ok concept. i guess if you really really worrying about chopping, you could put some eyes on your gun. anyone got any links to the "blue bolt"?

this blue bolt looks good, but are there any testings out there? and experiments with the lightning vs the blue bolt? i just like seeing my benchmarks instead of making a blind buy

**Spec74** · February 14th, 08:23 AM

The blue bolt has been having some production problems... not of ACP but of the manufactures. They have done some extensive tests like keeping the bolt in water for couple of day and no swelling accured. and has slots for orings if you want but not needed.

**andisblue** · February 18th, 06:20 PM

game over..

i went with the expensive ass lightning bolt

**spyder person** · February 18th, 06:21 PM

mistake

**Kirkysboy** · February 18th, 06:26 PM

Remember, just because something cost more doesnt mean its better or worth the extra $$$ compared to the others. Either way you still have a real nice bolt.

**andisblue** · February 18th, 06:26 PM

i went with it b/c i had actual benchmarks of it performing. i think thats reasonable.

yes lightnings are nice bolts but im sure that the blue bolt will be superior i would just keep the one you have since you already droped the cash for it

**andisblue** · February 18th, 06:32 PM

if theres some sort of test where the blue bolt excels in efficiency, i'll send the lightning bolt back. i just cant find any info on it

**spyder person** · February 18th, 06:34 PM

like i said just stick with the lightning

**andisblue** · February 18th, 06:36 PM

i cant if the blue is better. anyways if you got some links with some testings of it, just post em or pm me. whichever one is better/ more efficient willl be the one that occupies my gun.

**Kirkysboy** · February 18th, 06:38 PM

Why didnt you look into Spudnukl, Otter tested it on his site and it was right behind the AKA and cost half as much. Thats the first and only aftermarket bolt I used and was great and recommend it to everyone and it got great reviews from them all.........
